Bible for Android?

No, I’m not preparing for a robotic mission. But after years of rejecting having a cell phone, I gave in — and did so with an Android phone. (After reading how a significant plurality of homeless persons have a cell phone, and how it is a leading entry-point for Internet technologies for persons in developing [...]

Other coverage of UUCF Revival?

I see that UUCF Executive Directory Ron Robinson has blogged about the UUCF’s Revival Conference in Tulsa.
But I can’t see that anyone else present has. (I don’t know who’s there.) Nor do I know of any so-called hashtags (for example, #uucfrevival09) used to identify photos, microblog posts (like those found on Twitter or Identi.ca) or [...]

Who I’m backing for UUA President

I think Dan Harper is absolutely correct in his take on the UUA presidential race.
If given a choice, I suppose I would vote for Morales. I don’t, however, have a vote. Neither am I all that enthralled in the process.
I wonder if the next president of the UUA will have the least impact of any [...]

The Liberal Christian: update

After hearing from people about what’s affecting them, I’m expanding the subject focus of the next issue (perhaps next two) of the Liberal Christian magazine to include how the economic downturn changes your theological outlook and practice, and particularly how, if applicable, it shapes your view of Lent and Easter.
Also, I’ve ended the experiment of [...]

How do you read blogs?

Blogs serve a number of functions: highly-specialized media sources, public notebooks, a nexus for organzing a group of people and an inexpensive alternative to an ordinary web site, to name a few.
If I see a blog — or for those for whom blog is a bad thing, a Web site with regularly updated, short-format articles [...]

Making the church building pay its way, part 0

There’s a charming old picture of the hoary Universalist church in Oxford, Massachusetts with retail space on its ground floor and the meeting-space above. Wise, that. Empty churches — by which I mean the buildings — are bad stewards no matter where or when they are, and these days a bad steward might kill the [...]

The Liberal Christian seeks submissions

I am looking for article submissions for the second and third issues of The Liberal Christian, the online magazine I edit.
Issue two will lean to what liberal Christians can offer a partnership with non-Christian liberal religionists, with a secondary focus on Easter practices.
Issue three will lean towards Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly issues, with a [...]

Unitarian Universalist group at Identi.ca

A quick follow-up from yesterday. Noting there was no Unitarian Universalist (or Unitarian or Universalist or anything kindred) group at the microblogging site Identi.ca, I created one.
I’m — as yet — the only member; please join me.

Microblogging at Twitter and Identi.ca

Various project has kept me from writing here as much as I have or want. But I do write — not more than 140 characters at a time — at two microblogging sites. These are the better-known (and occasionally mocked) Twitter and the less-well-known but more-feature-rich (and group oriented) Identi.ca.
I write as bitb on each [...]
