The following is a verbatim listing circa 2005 of what UUA.org had as “all organizations” — including independent affiliates, seminaries, local ministries, various resources (including three of my own defunct or re-routed sites) and even businesses. There was a wisdom to this, echoed today in the listings at UUpdates.net, that I’m afraid has been lost. [...]

The marriage bill should not be signed in any church
Good news — Mayor Fenty will sign the legislation which allows same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia tomorrow. From there, it must survive thirty legislative days in Congress before coming law. I’m hopeful, though all it would really offer Jonathan and me is the dignity of the title of marriage, and the opportunity to [...]
Meadville Lombard open thread
Today we hear the not-so-stunning news that Meadville Lombard plans to sell its Chicago property. The next step would be to relocate to metro-Boston to participate in some kind of educational situation with the UUCF-affiliated Andover Newton Theological School (which itself has a large Unitarian Universalist student base) and the ailing Episcopalian Colgate Rochester Crozer [...]

Liberal Christian — a little longer
Whew! My dance ticket has been quite a bit more full than usual lately, and to make a long story short, I’m pushing back the publication of the fourth issue of The Liberal Christian to later this week. The Spanish hymnal issue suggests, if nothing else, that nothing substitutes for solid editing . . . [...]
Overcoming cross cringe: UU Christians, speak
After writing the last post, I noted it on Twitter (I’m bitb) where Martin Kelley (martin_kelley) , a force behind QuakerQuaker picked it up.
To make the dialog short, I have an appeal for Unitarian Universalist Christians reading this. Please note in the comments how you have been affected by “anything but Christian” behavior, and (where [...]
Quaker “cross cringe” — ah, sounds familiar
Unitarian Universalist Christians use a few terms — Christophobia, cross cringe and ABC (“anything but Christian”) — to describe the reception we get in unfriendly settings.
A posting today at QuakerQuaker shows that the problem — or perhaps a like problem — isn’t uniquely Unitarian Universalist. A shame that. Perhaps, too, an opportunity.

The future for independent Unitarian Universalist organizations
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.
I’m not [...]
