A Day Job colleague pointed out another Web 2.0 lacking-final-vowel service, just in time for Christmas: GiftClustr.com While I’m sorely pressed for wanting anything — thanks for asking — I think the interface is just the gift churches need. That is, churches with Web sites where there is a benefit for registering. How? Share this [...]
I can imagine when, mentioning that I’m planning a third Unitarian Universalist church — specifically a second Universalist Christian one — in the District of Columbia there’s some agita about whether there’s room in the environment. And where in D.C. it would be? Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d2356′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) });
I’ve been associated with any number of organizations where I wondered “what happened?” — particularly when it comes to a person to “loses interest” or “loses touch.” A geographic move aside, I can’t help think there’s sometimes much more to the story. Thanks to C. Wess Daniels (Gathering in Light) who points out a site [...]
I’m gathering up demographic data for areas for my pre-pre-pre-alpha church plant. The District of Columbia has changed so much in the last few years, but I’m still going to start with Census 2000 data because it gives me a base line for demographic changes. (I’ll report on more current info as I find it.) [...]
Here’s one for the preachers out there looking for some new material when you get back ’round to Noah and Company. An ancient flood some say could be the origin of the story of Noah’s Ark may have helped the spread of agriculture in Europe 8,300 years ago by scattering the continent’s earliest farmers, researchers [...]
While most Unitarian Universalist ordinands leap to the late Peter Raible’s ordination and installation guide — which has never much impressed me — I contacted W. Scott Axford, the minister of First Universalist Church, Providence. He has a knack for such things and was quite helpful for that day in 1999 when I was ordained [...]
Please drop me a line of you want to join a church planters’ mailing list. A few people have expressed interest, and I’ll get it started next week.

Reading an article debating the energy costs of ceramic and disposable cups and mugs, I came to the same conclusion others did: use the mug. The energy input has already been made, most people have a bunch already, plus drinking coffee and tea from a ceramic mug or cup is nicer than drinking from one [...]
Satire can be cruel, but not as cruel a debt-sprial costing the most vulnerable hundreds or thousands of dollars of available fees and interest. Predatory Lending Association Superb.

Sorry gang for not writing. Mom and Dad are in town — more about that later — for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Because Dad was on duty most of the time, I entertained Mom on Friday and Hubby joined in over the weekend. Friday, north of Dupont Circle. [...]
