Hurrah, California!

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Just got back from a lunch with Fr. Chris Tessone (Even the Devils Believe) — with whom else can I talk about LaTeX and typesetting Gregorian chant? — to discover that the California Supreme Court has overturned the ban on same-sex marriage and without punting it back to the legislature. The same legislature you’ll recall […]

Historic small Universalist church blogs

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I almost missed the fact that members of the Pullman Memorial Universalist Church, Albion, New York (21 members) started group-blogging church events, as Chalicefire. While unofficial, I shouldn’t wonder if the blog will become the de facto church site — as Google records — in time and the tone is pleasantly and lightly outwards-reaching.

A model […]

New Sandlapper blogger

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I’m enjoying David’s Dish, the new blog by David Gillespie, a ministerial colleague serving the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spartanburg as its Lifespan Faith Development Director. Southern, Christian, Unitarian Universalist: a rare combination, but like attracts like, no? And he writes about evangelism, too. What’s not to like?

“Sandlapper?” you might ask. That’s a South Carolinian […]

Kim Hampton is blogging and that makes me happy

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I have known Kim for years through the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship so I look forward to her blog.

Give it a look, too: East of Midnight

No thanks to UU Blog Awards

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

This is what I sent the UUpdater a moment ago:

I would like to be removed from consideration for the UU Blog Awards.

While I appreciate the notion (and the continuing effort of UUpdates.net), the only justification for awards is to celebrate and encourage excellence. Yet this system, lacking established standards and a clear voting mechanism, quickly […]

Universal restoration blogger watch

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

This will come as old news for some, but Graham, writing at the Anabaptist blog Leaving Muenster is wresting with universal salvation. His recent blogging covers affiliated subjects.

He writes quite well and on a variety of Christian subject and I’ve read his blog for a couple of years; no matter how he comes out on […]

Blog: The Simple Light Cafe

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I found a new independent-Universalist blog recently, The Simple Light Cafe. My one regret is that the blogger writes infrequently, but writes in a meaningfully dense way that I suspect each post is worth three or four careful reviews.

The writer has a theology that James Relly would have recognized: quite a good think in my […]

Male headship and Linux (but not together)

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Pastors: if you need some background about and against “complementarianism” — male headship and female submission — for providing pastoral care or want to learn more about using Linux, check out one of my favorite blogs, 42, written by Methodist minister Dave Warnock.

He’s on a roll.

The Web 2.0 video you need to watch

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I had a lovely long chat with another blogger last night and several issues of culture and process came up. I wanted to share this video I watched — which hundred of thousands if not millions have already watched — by Prof. Michael Wesch (Kansas State University) about what Web 2.0 (a terrible term, but […]

Long before the blog

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Chris Walton (Philocrites) muses about technology and his earliest writings via Internet, specifically on the Usenet group, soc.religion.unitarian-univ.

Ah! I wrote there too, in those heady days of the mid- to late-1990s. I wonder if I was edgier then?

If you care to see what I wrote . . .

Here are archived copies of two (1, 2) […]
