I know I’m cool because I use Ubuntu Linux. Keith Shackleton at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ottawa promotes it. He’s cool too. “Search engines and Human Rights — try Babieca and Ubuntu”

I mentioned the Esperanto hymnal I just got. Don’t laugh. This means you.
I realized that if you take the translated-from-English hymns in this collection, plus the Consultation on Ecumenical Hymnody’s 150 and you get a really good working set for a moderate to liberal Protestant church. Particularly good since these are mainly in the public […]

PeaceBang has stirred up mucho interest among the women in the ministerial college with her second blog, Beauty Tips for Ministers.
