Peacebang complained (rightly) that sites should include contact information. I agree. Indeed, if you have a physical location like a church building, I’d want to see that address in every footer of every page on your site.
But not just the raw address. Add some formatting — known as microformats — that give the information [...]

Unitarian Universalist church planters: not Christian but well-defined
I’m curious, are there Unitarian Universalists out there who are (1) not Christian, (2) come from a well-defined theological cohort, like the Humanists or Pagans and (3) advocate and plan for new congregation development?

Christian emblems not a cross: the seven-pointed star
Some times you want a Christian emblem that’s not a cross: not a Latin cross, not a Greek cross, not a Byzantine cross. Nothing — and I think this is the reason for the desire — to be crucified on. I can’t blame anyone for being especially weary and queasy with describing one’s faith with [...]
Another day I’m glad I’m not an Episcopalian
It isn’t just the bishop’s statement that came out today from New Orleans that makes me glad I’m not an Episcopalian but the episcopacy itself. If this is leadership . . . .
I don’t even know where to begin, but I can imagine that today will be the first day some others won’t be an [...]
Washington Post on technology in church
This morning’s Washington Post has a front page story on the role of technology in churches, though the article is long on its role in worship and almost silent on its role in education, administration or mission. Still, it brings up the contradiction that the use of wireless connectivity, broadcast and projectors — as described [...]
Using less: soap and detergents
Apartment Therapy, through a first-person post, intimates that many of us use too much dish soap. I suspect that’s right.
One of my core assumptions is that the first step to an environmentally sustainable common life is to use what we need, not use what we think we need or have been lead to believe we [...]
Three cheers for clear membership expectations
Churches sometimes have different levels of membership or affiliation, based on any number of criteria. But it is essentail that the rights and obligations of these distinctions are carefully spelled out.
So I was glad when I read the membership application for the National Religious Campaign Against Torture because they do just that. From the application.
There [...]
The Creative Commons license for me
After talking about Creative Commons licenses for a long while, I think that I’ll begin releasing most of my work under one in particular. It offers the best mix (for me) of extended and reserved rights, and would work better for people wanting to build upon my creative material, rather than just crassly exploiting it. [...]
Debit or credit?
An article in this month’s online Consumer Reports makes me think a debit card might be riskier than a credit card, especially if you pay off the later each month.
And it makes me more and more suspicious of those Visa tap-and-go debit card ads on television. They want me to use cash more often.
