The last couple of weeks have been wearing but, in their own way, energizing and certainly related to a adult world of ideas and action. By contrast, I see little lively or engaging in the world of Unitarian Universalism and the hot huff surrounding Victoria Weinstein’s latest post has been especially dispiriting. Why bother?
So [...]

A break from blogging
Liberal Christian — a little longer
Whew! My dance ticket has been quite a bit more full than usual lately, and to make a long story short, I’m pushing back the publication of the fourth issue of The Liberal Christian to later this week. The Spanish hymnal issue suggests, if nothing else, that nothing substitutes for solid editing . . . [...]
A collector’s item in the making
This is not good news. Makes you wonder what kind of editorial review process there was, but at least there’s a promised investigation after the fact. And how much did this cost; what else was not (and will not be) funded because of the error?
The first graf from the UUWorld story by Jane Greer:
Sales and [...]
If faith formation shows where we’re going, where have we been?

You can follow comments
At some blogs, you can comment and then click a box and have subsequent updates emailed to you — handy if you want to follow the conversations should it proceed. (And handy if you don’t want to check back with a non-starter.)
A couple of days ago I found a suitable plugin for this feature and [...]
UK Unitarian map mashup
Googling around tonight, I discovered UKUnitarian.org.uk “A resource about, and for, Unitarians” — and a wise, common use of a branded Web resource for (as yet) 31 mostly-small congregations and institutions. Plus, it’s a free service for the churches and simply-formatted sites are bright, cheerful and both better than nothing and better than something over-adventuresome [...]
More churches in Greenland
I love churches in liminal places, so when I was fixing corrupted links in past blog posts, I found that the Greenland diocese of the (Lutheran) Church of Denmark has its own site: http://groenlandsstift.dk
There are few (in theory) resources in English, but the site reads in Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) or Danish. I thought “who do I [...]
Finding, fixing broken blog links
