From the official site of the Russian Orthodox Church (in English):
“A Russian Orthodox church consecrated in Havana“
The Church of Our Lady of Kazan was consecrated on 19 October 2008 by Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations, who was assisted by Archbishop Mark of Hust and […]
I love open governance, responsive organizing and Christian fellowship.
For these reasons, I asked members of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship leadership if Board minutes and financials could be put up on the UUCF site. And they did, promptly. And I’m very happy. Thanks!
If you want to see them yourself, the download links are at […]
It’s no secret I have little patience for the Episcopal Church of late, so I wasn’t looking out for the theme of the 2009 General Convention. The Topmost Apple, an Episcopalian blogger I follow, presumably has more patience for the Episcopal Church, but little regard for the theme, which is “Ubuntu: I in You and […]
There’s a certain place in the retelling of American Unitarian organizational history where the American Unitarian Association is revealed to have once been just an individual membership organization and not a fellowship of churches. (Indeed, I think the last of the life members died in the 1990s.)
Looking at the Web site of the Union […]
I figured it was worth a look to see if there were any “they deserved it” posts in the blogosphere, particularly from self-identified Christian sources. (Had there been, though, I doubt I would have brought it up, and certainly not now.) While I’m sure there’s some crank out there, especially since the notorious Fox News […]
I have an odd set of interests, or odd enough to seem distinct. But the Internet is a big non-place and finding a parallel is inevitable.
I’m terribly fond of a blog — UbuntuCat — described as “Random musings from the radical feminist Christian antiracist left - some having to do with Ubuntu.” If you […]
I was tickled with Fr. Chris Tessone (Even the Devils Believe) blogged about the Scottish Episcopal Church resources I mentioned to him. There are others from northern Europe in English, some of which I’ve written about before.
These other liturgies come from the Lutheran churches — sometimes state churches — of Scandinavia and the Baltic states. […]
I mentioned that there are a number of Unitarian Universalist congregations that are not members of the Unitarian Universalist Association but neither are they
declared to be “emerging” with the goal of joining the UUA, really dormant or inactive; in essence a “submerged congregation,” independent, which includes some former members of the Universalist Church of America, “half-federated” with a […]
Hubby and I won’t bother with religious organizations that are hostile to our lives as gay men, with respect to the polity of the congregation concerned. That means a gay-agnostic congregational-polity church in a hostile association is better than gay-affirming church in a hostile connectional system. This makes affiliating with a connectional or episcopal church […]
For better or worse, I was thinking theologically in the shower this morning.
Ponder, as I did, that once-common Unitarian Christian claim that “we don’t practice the religion about Jesus, but the religion ofJesus.” Well, I don’t believe that. However well we dig down to Jesus’ idea and ideal of religion, it comes mediated […]
