According to his brother Erik, he died yesterday (Sunday) morning. He was a minister (most recently at Portland, Maine) but perhaps known equally as well in Unitarian Universalist circles as a blogger. I think of him in that generation of Christian ministers that immediately preceded my own, and who held on when there didn’t seem [...]
Who says it gets quiet in Washington? Between day job work and a much needed vacation, I will push back the publication date of the Liberal Christian magazine to give it justice. Look for it on August 24 instead of its scheduled August 17 release date. Not ideal, but I suppose disclosure is something. Share [...]
The biggest cultural divide among Unitarian Universalists (it seems to me) is over the question of whether of our religious movement and institutions are inherantly healthy or not. I suppose the yes crowd is larger because the UUA culture is so hard to change, and leaving (or being quiet) is an easier option for the [...]
I see that UUCF Executive Directory Ron Robinson has blogged about the UUCF’s Revival Conference in Tulsa. But I can’t see that anyone else present has. (I don’t know who’s there.) Nor do I know of any so-called hashtags (for example, #uucfrevival09) used to identify photos, microblog posts (like those found on Twitter or Identi.ca) [...]
After hearing from people about what’s affecting them, I’m expanding the subject focus of the next issue (perhaps next two) of the Liberal Christian magazine to include how the economic downturn changes your theological outlook and practice, and particularly how, if applicable, it shapes your view of Lent and Easter. Also, I’ve ended the experiment [...]
A quick follow-up from yesterday. Noting there was no Unitarian Universalist (or Unitarian or Universalist or anything kindred) group at the microblogging site Identi.ca, I created one. I’m — as yet — the only member; please join me. Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d2972′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) });
PBS’s Religion and Ethics Newsweekly has a feature video of Forrest Church, the long-time minister (now his remit is “of public theology”) at All Souls, New York. It covers both is thirty years in ministry there and his terminal cancer.

Well, Hubby and I are back from a weekend in New York. Lots of fun, including a great show tunes sing-a-long at Marie’s Crisis, a retro-gay piano bar. Too much fun. And the building is on the site of the house where Thomas Paine died, thus Crisis. While I was away, I tried to authorize [...]
A bit early, as Hubby and I are taking a last-minute trip. Be sure to see it at www.liberalchristian.net. Anyone may see articles in HTML, and those who register — it might take a bit of time to approve new registrants because of the trip — and log in may download a PDF. Two versions: [...]
On February 15, I will release the first issue of my online magazine, The Liberal Christian, at its home www.liberalchristian.net. I hope you will download a copy, and share word of it with your friends and associates. My goal is to produce a regular bimonthly publication dedicated to intelligent, independent and international coverage of news [...]
