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 [...]
Anglican priest and blogger Andii Bowsher (Nouslife) outlines a service of worship conducted around a table, say at a cafe or restaurant. The key is low-volume, shared participation. Which isn’t too strange: people hive off to coffee shops for meeting all the time here.
I don’t know if I’d come up with what he did, but [...]
Worth mentioning a few things Hubby and I saw at church last Sunday that I thought were very clever. Worth mentioning now since said church is more more likely than ever to be demolished.
No printed orders of service. Of course, why would a Christian Science service need them, seeing as they’re a regular as an [...]
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 [...]
Steven Rowe has been finding Southern historically-Universalist churches on Google Street View — who knew they penetrated so much of rural America? — and has been posting these localized view on his blog A Southern “Universalist Church” History starting with Clayton Memorial Church, Newberry, S.C. (I used to preach there regularly.)
Takes me back. Thanks.

Photographs from the late, lamented Life magazine are now searchable on Google Images. A search for Unitarians and Universalists identified a few interesting tidbits: several views of the the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed First Unitarian Society building, scenes of church life, pictures of the union service of the American Unitarian Association and Universalist Church of America, [...]
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 [...]
After the jump, see a set of pictures of Universalists on their 1915 “California Pilgrimage” to General Convention, held that year in Pasadena. I mentioned it in a comment tonight and wrote about it three years ago.
You may now download this short book at Google Books. Note the Temple at Salt Lake City in the [...]
I caught a rumor that there was a Google Maps Street View camera vehicle in D.C. If anyone knows if that’s true, please leave a comment.
It’s about time. I’m a little miffed that some very out of the way places have been filmed but not Washington, D.C. Case in point? I found New Harmony Universalist [...]
Hubby and I watched the first two-hour installment of Cranford, an adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s atmospheric novel Cranford tonight on Masterpiece Theater, on PBS.
The first reason: it is very good and faithful to the book.
The second reason: I read the book is because he and I visited Knutsford, the Cheshire town Gaskell based Cranford [...]
