Over the last year I’ve written about the young and growing Megabus service; my UK readers will be better acquainted with this company. See 1, 2, and 3. Now they’ve begun service on the West Coast.
Yoohoo! How about the Atlantic states, or the South? Please? (I’m in no way related to this company.)
After the strong response to my words about debt — and thank you all for replying — I was going to write about the logjam which is ministerial formation in the Unitarian Universalist Association
If you can pay for school, you might not get the needed internship. If you get fellowship, you might never get a […]
Like a lot of ministers, I borrowed a lot of money to get my Master of Divinity degree and early on served churches that didn’t let me pay it down. And should I even mention paying for a car engine rebuilt with a credit card or living without medical insurance? I know a lot of […]
Seems people are looking for heaven but finding hell. Not a theological statement but a use of Google Trends — news keyword tracking — and includes links to representative (or responsible?) news stories.
Fun, and perhaps useful for preachers looking for an illustration.
Unitarian Universalist minister Kit Ketcham (a.k.a. Miss Kitty; Miss Kitty’s Saloon and Road Show) points out the universalist-themed Opus comic strip in her local paper today. Very nice.
That link looks like it will only be good for the week, so if you find this later, look to the Washington Post Writers Group page for Opus […]
This is the time some church people plan for all of the next year (if not earlier.) I noticed that Easter is coming very early next year; if one tends to plan just a bit at a time, better to know it now.
The last time Easter fell on March 23 was 1913 and it won’t […]
I’ve written from time to time about federated and multi-denominational Unitarian Universalist churches, in part because that’s where you find many of the Christians in the UUA and also because they are an interesting polity situation that makes for illuminating case studies.
A logistical question.
While I had the pleasure of assisting the Transylvanian Unitarian bishop and his provost distribute Communion at the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship Revival conference that my former pastorate hosted, the church’s architecture is unlike those in Transylvania so I don’t know how the distribution would take place there.
To recap, from what I’ve read […]
There were two recent blog posts others wrote that I wanted to lift up respecting Communion.
Cee Jay (Cee Jay’s Cyber Space) notes how the interim minister of her church recommends a monthly communion service — either before or after the main service — and she suggests this might fill a liturgical and pastoral void. Her […]
Even after showing pictures of my Transylvanian Unitarian stole, I could have hardly expected the Apartment Therapy blog — that directory for so many lovely items — to identify Transylvanian hemp and linen cloth.
But they have.
