A strong quarter for blogging; much about ministerial formation and practice.
Dinner with Universalists
Monday, April 4th, 2005
Few things annoy me more than the pseudo-truism that Universalists were the simple, earthy yokels while the Unitarians has cultivated such powers of the mind that they never touched the ground.
Gay and Christian in the UUA Wednesday, April 6th, 2005
Funny: […]
More entries on UUA certification — not interesting — and other ephemera marked this quarter. Proper blogging picked up around March but — ah! — so many of the resources I then found point to dead sites.
Ubuntu two
Monday, January 3rd, 2005
Earlier, I referred to the Zulu word ubuntu, musing on its familiar themes to Universalists. […]
Not a lot of blogging that quarter — I think it might have been because I was getting settled into the then-Day Job — and only a few entries bear re-reading.
Jot
Friday, October 1st, 2004
Before Zoloft’s Depressed Marshmallow, there was Jot.
Growing up unchurched, my religious education was pretty well confined to the children’s television programming from […]
Lots of blogging about prayer from this period, in large part because I had a parallel blog, now retired, called Collect Call. Those posts are now integrated into this blog.
A seat of one’s own?
Wednesday, April 7th, 2004
The church I served in Georgia was robbed once. A life-long church member identified the theft on a Sunday […]
Not my best writing — lots of UUA certification live-blogging — but then again early 2004 was a pretty crummy time for me. I’ve looked at forming a new church, and as far as I’m concerned today, am glad I didn’t. Still, the project meant there were more enduring posts as the quarter went along.
Unitarian […]
This period included the longest break in blogging I’ve ever taken: not from Hubby’s and my honeymoon but from the final meltdown in my last pastorate. Not good days, but there are a few posts worth recalling.
Hymn list I
Thursday, October 16th, 2003
In the extended entry I’ve placed my first list of useful hymns, culled from […]
The blog matured, but I still didn’t post much. And software failings left some posts lost forever, including earlier installments of my Universalist quotation series. (See Transient and Permanent for a new series of Universalist quotations.)
Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round
Monday, July 21st, 2003
There’s a hymn — sadly missing in the 1993 Singing the Living […]
These are some of my earliest posts, when I only wrote once or twice a week and editing the HTML by hand! Yet there are some enduring bits and pieces . . . .
What to profess?
Monday, May 26th, 2003
I never thought so many people would take an interest in this humble blog. Thank you.
Some […]
Let me tell you about where I work, and why it matters to you, my dear readers.
It isn’t a secret that I work, as the administrator, for the Sunlight Foundation, which has
the goal of using the revolutionary power of the Internet and new information technology to enable citizens to learn more about what Congress and […]
I mark my fifth blogging anniversary on May 22. Between now and then, I will be going quarter by quarter a pointing out the best resources and (if I may be immodest) the best writing.
