I didn’t hear about Eastern Market’s devastating fire until I got to work. James Estes (Peregrinato) writes about the fire and the lost architectural link to Washington Universalism.
I’m just sick to think about it.
Ms. Kitty (Ms. Kitty’s Salon and Road Show) and Mama G (Mom to the Left) have each spelled out green actions they or their church have or will make. I thought I would join in, thinking of particular was church offices — and perhaps your non-church workplace — can make green improvements. I have actually […]
The American Ethical Union (AEU), a tiny denomination of ethical nontheists, have long been fellow-travelers with Unitarian Universalists. I think they’re interesting and make a good contrast to the esoteric Swedenborgians I know, each being a group in the scant few thousands with more money — through bequests and property — than their members need. […]
There’s a truism I heard at seminary of the ol’ days — Victorian, Edwardian eras — when women weren’t widely ordained that they could do overseas what they couldn’t do at home. Lay ministry meant more if you were a missionary.
A bit closer to North American and European shores — but not too close — […]
Heal Your Church Website promotes “RSS in Plain English - a how-to video by Turtle Interactive“: an instructional video. I’ve been promoting RSS — news feeds, which includes blog — as a way of managing a potentially paralyzing amount of content. But it has been hard to describe. I suspect most of my readers get […]
Mama G (Mom to the Left) described her family’s meat reduction and functional vegetarianism. She would, she says, buy meat that was slaughtered fairly and (I intuit) was easier to get than an hour-long run to the closest Whole Foods.
I am no vegetarian but I eat very little meat. In the last seven days, I […]
Root and Source points to a new (newer than what I knew) Brahmo Samaj website. The Brahmo Samaj is the analog in Hinduism to classic Unitarianism for Christianity. (Thus the categorization.)
Interesting people and I’m glad to see they have an expanded web presence.
This is all about self-care.
I started a new diet this week — really a new mode of eating than a diet I intend to abandon when I get to a more desirable weight. It is one of those glycemic index plans: effectively low fat, high fiber and very little refined carbohydrate and sugar. Since diabetes […]
The Washington Post wrote Sunday about the charms of the South Shore, south of Boston, and refers specifically to Hingham Old Ship Church, which is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Indeed, I think there’s a Unitarian “First Parish” in each of these towns.
I know this article says nothing new to several noteworthy bloggers […]
Does one give to someone who asks for money on the street? Why shouldn’t I, if having so much compared to what little the other seems to have? Wouldn’t Jesus do the same?
Perhaps not. I have agree with Michael Spencer (Internet Monk) that being a Christian doesn’t absolve you — indeed, implores you — to […]
