The future for independent Unitarian Universalist organizations

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Ron Robinson is the executive director of the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship; he also writes an independent blog (Planting God Communities). While he’s careful not to speak for the UUCF, I can trust he speaks from knowledge of the independent affiliates controversy.

Check out this post, and make it all the way to the end.

Theological BarCamp: has its time come?
