The “victory” that allows a reference to God — previously banned — on certificates associated with flags flown over the Capitol.
Oh, with a resolution to match. Yippee. Not that we don’t have bigger things to do

The world is too small. For the last couple of weeks, I have been reading Quakers sites, especially the Conservative ones since they have a mix of disciple and witness that seems a bit familiar, a bit provocative and rather underappreciated.
Since the Conservative Friends only have three Yearly Meetings, it didn’t take long to peruse […]
I am disappointed by the stodgy, over-produced and old-fashioned video to promote the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Association Sunday. It felt like I was being sold something and I wasn’t buying it (in any meaning of the idiom.)
I think we should have spared the production and have gotten the rights to use this video by Clay […]
Hubby and I were Not Impressed by redeveloped faux-attraction in Philadelphia called Penn’s Landing. The silver lining — as we made our escape — was coming across a small memorial to the Schwenkfelders.
Radical and persecuted in their own day, the Schwenkfelders walked a middle ground among the warring Reformation sects in a way that anticipated […]
This week, as I’ve said, I’ve been reading quite a lot online from members of the Religious Society of Friends. To make things easier, I’ve made QuakerQuaker.org my first stop.

This week I’ve been having a heavy Web crush on the Conservative Quakers — more details later — and it will have to suffice for now to say that this is the smallest branch of the Religious Society of Friends will continue to hold my interest.
They have no national body (and don’t seem to be […]

But I really knew something was up yesterday morning when I passed an assemblage of well-dressed men, probably Armenian, in front of an office associated with Armenia on my […]
UUA trustee Linda Laskowski notes in her blog that the class she met at the Starr King School for the Ministry seemed to universally opposed to the broad dismissal of Independent Affiliate organizations. She cited some reasons having to do with the ecology of the UUA that speak my mind. I downloaded the […]
What does a Shakepearian villain, the author of Utopia, a pioneering Universalist minister and record-making building have in common? A single place
Crosby Hall (1, 2) was a late medieval merchant’s house in the Bishopsgate section of London, near the even older (and surviving) St. Helen’s Church. Among its famous early residents were the Duke of […]
The Council of Christian Churches within the Unitarian Universalist Association will meet at King’s Chapel, Boston. The flyer’s below. There’s a particular interest in students attending.
If you’re not a member of a Christian church within the UUA — even if you’re a Unitarian Universalist Christian — you’re unlikely to have heard much (or anything) of […]
