I said it before: nobody keeps the spotlight on torture like Andrew Sullivan. It might be our nation’s greatest moral crisis, but where’s the outcry? We free people can’t claim we’re held and gagged. Go read it; I’ll be here when you’re done.
Reading today’s contribution left me a bit agitated and clammy, but not from […]
I was slacking off writing this little article on eating at General Assembly, but the Rev. Victoria Weinstein (Beauty Tips for Ministers) shared her story of doughnuts at a recent preaching conference and the Weight of the World blog appeared: that sparked me in to action. One lesson is that you have to be clever […]
Last month I wrote about how I enjoyed and recommended Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping. Brilliant political theater. You can listen to some of the group’s songs: I’m especially fond of #3 on the media player, “(Shop Enough for) Africa”
But I think their anthem — my favorite anyway — is “The […]
I was thinking about how much GA costs. Whether one self-pays, gets assistance or volunteers, there are opportunity costs for this kind of meeting.
I’ve read the program and I have a hard time getting excited about General Assembly. The programming looks eerily like what was offered at the last GA I attended (2003), except that, if anything it is theologically thinner. A result of limited independent affiliate slots, to be sure.
Well, Portland should be fun. I had some […]
I love the Internet, blogging and social networking because it allows self-empowered people to act immediatly.
Introducing the seminarian-founded, ministerially-themed weight loss blog, Weight of the World. Why? Who?
Lizard Eater, seminarian, mother of 4, has been trying very hard to create a healthier life for herself and her family. She focuses on whole foods and has […]
28 May. Since UUWorld.org is re-promoting its Mt. Auburn Cemetery story, I thought I’d reprise my tie-in blog post. Does anyone have an online photo of the Ballou or Murray gravesites?
Yesterday morning, I finally got to read the current issue of the UUWorld while waiting for a train to work and lingered over the Mount […]
It is Memorial Day weekend and Rolling Thunder is back in town. I should have saved my tourist complaining for this bunch.
You’re a DC resident and as a such you live knowing you’re in the Non-Autonomous Protectorate of the Land of the Free. You know this is where people come to make statements of […]
At my seminary, nobody asked your zodiac sign, but did inquire if you were a trespasser or a debtor: a reference to which version of the Lord’s Prayer one commonly uses.
I think most Universalists and Unitarians historically were trespassers but almost any seminarian leaving school today will be a debtor too. Really, anyone seeking higher […]
26 May. This article still attracts a lot of traffic, probably from search engine results. It seems rather topical given the widely reported projected increases in the price of food and petroleum products and the conflict between the human food and ethanol fuel uses for corn. I’ve also updated the PeaceBang link.
The Rev. Victoria Weinstein, […]
