Joshua Cody, writing at Church Marketing Sucks, reviews recent Barna Institute research on who’s unchurched. Hmm. Gays are high on the list. Also liberals. And singles. (Since it seems most demographers treat Hubby and me as a pair of bachelors saving money on living expenses. I have a visceral hatred of ticking “single” on my […]
I have noticed from time to time how there is a gentle, bubbling interest in the liturgies of the (German) Reformed Church, Evangelical Synod, and Evangelical and Reformed Church, which entered the United Church of Christ in 1957.
But there is almost nothing about the liturgies online. Admittedly, the E&R worship book, at the beginning of […]
Y’all should know I’ve suspended my process towards the United Church of Christ and have requested that my ministerial fellowship in the Unitarian Universalist Association, which would otherwise been lost or resigned, transferred to Associate Fellowship.
Hubby and I visited a church for the first time this morning and witnessed something — a small thing, I admit — that we didn’t think looked right.
The minister and his liturgical assistants — four in total — drank water out of bottles, including one who drank water out of a bicyclist’s squeeze bottle. This […]
A recent discussion, prompted by the Rev. Victoria Weinstein (PeaceBang; Beauty Tips for Ministers) concerned justice issues for those who do not have access to high-quality food. I responded that early adopters lay the way for re-localized food production and that food education would be a better way to open up use of available high-quality […]
Sorry Dan and all: I didn’t get home until about 7pm, freshly exfoliated from the sleet, and so didn’t make it to any of the nearby Christian antiwar protesting. (But better sleet than snow, or it would look like Massachusetts here. Oh, sorry Dan.)
I did watch a report of the National Cathedral service and congregant […]
I’m waiting with baited breath for The Rev. Victoria Weinstein’s segment on Nightline. . . . (I knew her when, sniff)
Rejoice with her at her Beauty Tips for Ministers blog.
The other segments: about Colors, the worker-owned cooperative restaurant created by the surviving members of the Windows on the World restaurant and GodMan, the real-guy […]
Dear Readers,
As I have written before, I am not conventionally employed and while I’m enjoying my current temp placement (at a Major and Very Well Known Media Outlet, doing many of the same things in my last Day Job, as it happens) I would like to be hired and enjoy Fringe Benefits.
I have a career […]
Michael Tiemann makes the leap from open-source software and the open-source community to sustainable foodways (and how we’re all corn-fed.)
“Book Review: The Ominvore’s Dilemma” (Red Hat [Linux] Magazine)
I think I could bear a few bishops if I were in Sweden (and spoke Swedish.) The Church of Sweden seems so keen in its international humanitarian mission. It willingly disestablished. They have a quite-nice modern language liturgy conveniently translated to English and — miracle of miracles! — have a preliminary rite for celebrating registered […]
