While I’m cleaning out and finding useful files, I thought I would re-share the PDF book I made of James Relly’s 1759 “Union: or, a Treatise of the Consanguinity and Affinity between Christ and his Church.”
I have made this available at my (somewhat dormant) UniversalistChurch.net site, so I think this is the first time I’ve [...]
OK: not this hymn. But I’ve watched nearly all of the broadcasted episodes of Battlestar Galactica — all but episode 10 “Revelations” — in the last few weeks (thanks A.M. for the DVD loan) and the religion threads therein are fascinating. I’m not so keen even now to bring it up because just discussing them [...]
Hubby and I became homeowners yesterday, and we move Monday. Much of what we own is in boxes. But there are a few handfuls of books I can’t bear to put away yet. As if I might be called to preach this Sunday or lead a retreat . . .
Add in the fact that [...]
I found (refound?) an independent universalist theological site. It includes a number of classic texts that generations have known and loved, and some original articles by the site’s owner, Tony Pirog.

OK: I’ve asked before and I’ll surely ask again, but what is the “saving gospel” that I hear some Unitarian Universalists talk about? You know: the one “the world needs to hear.”
There’s something rather Rorschach test-like about it, in that the discussion of a gospel is in relation to the desirability for one. [...]
Whew — five days without a blog post. I’ve been ill and Hubby and I are buying a condo, so you’ll excuse my absence. Working on a couple of larger posts, but I’ve also been reading widely and found a few things of interest on the ‘net worth sharing in the meantime.
I don’t follow 304 [...]
At least for me it is.
The aspects of Universalism and Unitarianism that inform my religious life are Christian and my Christian faith is distinguished by Universalism (and to a lesser degree, the ethos of Unitarianism.) If you’ve read my blog much, you’ve gathered that. Yes, of course, I know that most Unitarian Universalist [...]
In seminary, I learned not to say anything negative about Stanley Hauerwas, the theologian: his legions of rabid devotees will never give you a moment’s rest. This, with Hauerwas’s high-handed brand of Quietism, was enough to make me lose interest in him instantly, even if was all the rage.
Priest and blogger Chris Tessone (Even [...]
There’s a thread at MetaFilter entitled “What single book is the best introduction to your field (or specialization within your field) for laypeople?” It concerns the hard sciences and mathematics in the main, but the same question is fair for the ministry, church administration or even theology.
Not that any one book would be perfect [...]
