Obscured by the Knoxville shootings, there is good news from Massachusetts, where the legislature has repealed the 1913 anti-miscegenation law, which rose again vampire-style to prevent out-of-state same-sex couples from marrying in the Bay State. The governor is set to put a stake in to the heart of the law Tuesday, and the law will [...]
I figured it was worth a look to see if there were any “they deserved it” posts in the blogosphere, particularly from self-identified Christian sources. (Had there been, though, I doubt I would have brought it up, and certainly not now.) While I’m sure there’s some crank out there, especially since the notorious Fox News [...]
Alarming news from the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, where a gunman open fired and seven people were hit.

I’m trying to remember if this was the church were my aunt sometimes attends. Keep solidarity in prayer and word. More later.
Later. According to WBIR, one person has died.
The email mailing list, I mean. The social Internet mode many of us started with.
For myself, I’ve read, organized, managed and written on mailing lists for well more than a decade, but these days I can hardly be bothered. Most of the ones I read have dried up. The ones I’ve recently started hardly [...]
I have an odd set of interests, or odd enough to seem distinct. But the Internet is a big non-place and finding a parallel is inevitable.
I’m terribly fond of a blog — UbuntuCat — described as “Random musings from the radical feminist Christian antiracist left - some having to do with Ubuntu.” If you [...]
Insurance for churches: an expensive necessity, which I’d bet is sometimes difficult, sometimes avoided in smaller and newer churches. How do you know that you’re getting the right coverage at the right price?
I saw a good article a little while back on Blue Avocado, a newish site about nonprofit management sponsored by nonprofit insurers, which [...]
Been a busy weekend here; blogging suffers. Hubby and I placed a bid on an apartment, but didn’t get it. So we were a bit distracted.
Distracted enough, on my part, to start fiddling with my long-neglected UniversalistChurch.net site. It hasn’t been what I hoped, and an increasing number of texts available at Google Books means [...]
I want you to call your representative, or better call your representative’s legislative assistant on energy or transportation, and say you support the newly introduced H.R. 6495, “To authorize programs and activities to support transportation and housing options that will assist American families in reducing transportation costs, and for other purposes.” (OpenCongress, missing full text [...]
Google today made another step towards having your (church) office online. Let me back up.
It’s pretty clear the fine folk at Google have their sights on Microsoft, or really any operating system. Why have anything as pedestrian as software on your own computer if you can have access to software on a Google server? The [...]
The ban on persons with HIV to travel and immigrate to the United States — a legacy of fear and the late Senator Helms’s power — seems to have died. This long-overdue piece of legislation has passed the Senate and now, likely to avoid conference, goes to the President’s desk. A good piece of news [...]
