At least for me it is.
The aspects of Universalism and Unitarianism that inform my religious life are Christian and my Christian faith is distinguished by Universalism (and to a lesser degree, the ethos of Unitarianism.) If you’ve read my blog much, you’ve gathered that. Yes, of course, I know that most Unitarian Universalist [...]

Unitarian Universalism is a Christian religion
Universalist quotations to follow
When I started this blog, I noted interesting Universalist quotations (as blog posts) because so few people seemed to care and because the only source for the quotations was the original print source, of which I have a significant collection.
Both of these verities have changed, and if you’ve missed the large and growing collection [...]
What to expect from Ubuntu Linux
Last week, Michael Horowitz, writing his Defense Computing column for CNet makes the case that Linux — specifically vanilla Ubuntu Linux — is a more intuitive next step for Windows user than the Mac is. Using screenshots, he shows what a first-time Ubuntu Linux user would see and how it jibes with what a Windows [...]
Hubby puts “on his Sunday clothes”
If you’ve seen WALL·E — heck, even if you’ve not — be sure to see my husband Jonathan Padget’s article in today’s Washington Post. (And buy a paper copy if you’re in the area.)
“WALL·E, ‘Dolly!’ And the Universe Of Musicals“

A little blog improvement. RSS feed towards the top of the sidebar. (If you use Google Reader, you can click on the orange quarter-hoop logo to subscribe to the site’s feed.) Also, to mark the new iPhone — which I’ve not gotten and don’t intend to get, fwiw — I’ve added a mobile [...]
Blog in review: June 2006
June 2006 was good for blogging: I found fun — some quirky — resources for church life.
Cool nineteenth-century Universalist fact
Friday, June 2nd, 2006
Walt Whitman, when in Washington, D.C., worshipped in the Universalist parish.
Masonic Hall today
Sunday, June 4th, 2006
James (Pereginato) pointed out that the Masonic Hall, where the Washington Universalist parish met when Walt Whitman was [...]
On Hauerwas
In seminary, I learned not to say anything negative about Stanley Hauerwas, the theologian: his legions of rabid devotees will never give you a moment’s rest. This, with Hauerwas’s high-handed brand of Quietism, was enough to make me lose interest in him instantly, even if was all the rage.
Priest and blogger Chris Tessone (Even [...]
Fish I’m not eating
Hubby and I went shopping yesterday to one of our favorite specialty shops — Rodman’s in Friendship Heights — and had a field day in its larger-than-usual canned fish section.
Bit by bit, we’re cutting out foods like beef and pork because they’re environmentally unsustainable and hard to incorporate in a reduced-calorie diet. (Plus, I have [...]
The limits to regionalism, opportunities of transit
Ah, another lost article, but more pertinent than ever. (I knew I had written it, but it was tucked away for the last two years as a “private” post.)
The de facto Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) church planting model of the last half-century is to follow the population to the growing ‘burbs, serving as regional centers. [...]
Blog in review: April-May 2006
Most April 2006 posts didn’t age well as I focused on the mistakes the UCC made with its then-new Web site, denominational meetings and a shared project to transcribe Ballou’s Treatise on Atonement. So I’m adding May, which was a bit better, to this round up.
My brush with Shakespeare

This, for the record, [...]
