Peronne Boddaert, 1969-2007

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Juame de Marcos (The Hanif Blog) reports that the Rev. Peronne Pauline Boddaert, of the Dutch Remonstrant Brotherhood, died unexpectedly at the age of 37.

Such terrible news. I had occasion to correspond with her a few years ago, after the publication of European Perspectives on Communion (for which she contributed a chapter). Her work among […]

Non-Subscriber tonight on Irish television

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

Tipped off by the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland website:

For those with access to Irish (RTE) Television reception, please note that there will be a television programme on Sunday 25th February featuring Rev. Chris Hudson, Minister of All Souls’ Church, Belfast. The half-hour programme is entitled “The Preacher” and is scheduled to start at 10.35 […]

Unitarian blogger makes BBC

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Stephen Lingwood, who writes at Reignite, is featured with the other Unitarians of Newcastle-under-Lyme in a both words and video at the BBC’s Stoke and Staffordshire site. (Which, of course, now makes it easier to apply his voice when I read his blog.)

Good going.

Linux look: Guadalinex

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Before readers think this is turning into a Linux blog, let me say I wanted to look at some of the other Linux distributions from Spain, following Jaume’s comments in the last entry.

More after the jump.

Philadelphia to the Philippines

Friday, October 13th, 2006

This deserves a note. Joseph Santos-Lyons mentions that the 1790 Philadelphia Articles of Faith have sparked interest among the historically-Universalist Unitarian Universalists in the Philippines. How interesting. “They admire it very much,” he says.

Daily prayer among the UK Unitarian Christians

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Matt (Renewed Hope) has noted the Unitarian Christian Association (UK) has a new website at http://www.unitarianchristian.org.uk/

Interestingly, their Autumn Synod (what’s that about I wonder) later this month features the Rev. Andrew Brown presenting A Pattern of Daily Prayer, just published by the UCA. How interesting, though I’m not sure who wrote it or how someone […]

For sale: “European Perspectives on Communion”

Monday, August 28th, 2006

About five years ago, I got a small cache of the then brand-new book European Perspectives on Communion because there was at that time no convenient way to order them from Northern Ireland. A pair of NSPCI ministers were visiting the area and they agreed to bring some along. We were going to meet but […]

The Churchless God

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Stephen Lingwood writes briefly about the paradox in Britain between high level of identification as Christians and low church attendance, and thinks about the alternatives the “alternative churches” (like Unitarianism) are offering.

In short people are interested in a church-less God, and Unitarianism is offering a God-less church.

He make a good point, and one Americans should […]

Spiritual Seekers Society (Hong Kong) blogs

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

The Spiritual Seekers Society of Hong Kong (尋道會) has an English-language blog describing activities (including translation projects) they’re doing. They identify as Unitarian Universalist and are listed as an “other group” with the ICUU. I think one of the members of this group approached me as the web point person of the UUCF years ago, […]

Orkneys, ho!

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Stephen Lingwood’s reportage of a new Unitarian chapel and retreat center in the Orkney Islands appeals to me in a lot of ways.

While this would be the most northerly outpost for Unitarianism in the British Isles, the Unitarian Unitarian Fellowship of Fairbanks (Alaska) is father north, and perhaps too the small group in St. Petersburg. […]
