The Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland start their Annual Synod today. According to their website, it
. . . will be hosted by The Old Presbyterian Church, Ballyclare. Synod events will include the installation of the Moderator for the ensuing year on Tuesday evening. Then on Wednesday, following the conclusion of formal business, the annual Synod […]
I know I’m cool because I use Ubuntu Linux. Keith Shackleton at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ottawa promotes it. He’s cool too. “Search engines and Human Rights — try Babieca and Ubuntu”
Who says Americans don’t care about Canada? Note one and all that the Canadian Unitarian Council is having its Annual Conference and Meeting beginning today in St. John, New Brunswick.
The site ought to be a model for UUA district assemblies, which run about the same size. Nice, too, to see a national assembly of a […]
The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, our cousins in Great Britain, have begun meeting. Stephen Lingwood of Reignite has started reporting.
The most remarkable fact is how he took (only) two hours by train to get to Chester, the GA host city. That’s like from here to Philadelphia (maybe) or the northern outskirts […]
This, for the record, is not an April Fool’s prank.
Some years ago, during my first trip to London, I called in at Dr. Williams’s Library (no site), an insitution under de facto Unitarian control, and had a pleasant chat about church history with an Official with a Certain Unitarian Related Trust housed there. At the end, […]
Props to Stephen Lingwood (Reignite) for standing out in the cold in Birmingham (not the one in Alabama) opposing the blasphemy laws and promoting Unitarianism. That’s a kind of “awareness” service — something for which I normally have little patience — that proves its worth in chapped lips and personal contact. The fact that […]
Jaume de Marcos broke the news on the blogosphere — in Castillian Spanish — of the Result of the election for Executive Committee members 2006-2009.
The upshot is the British Unitarians have a directly elected governing board. That’s the good news. The bad news is the electoral role is 2,563 — meaning the […]
Does anyone know when the first banners appeared at General Assembly, or Universalist General Convention, or at the Unitarian “May Meetings”?
I know the British Unitarians have these at their Annual Meeting, but who influenced whom?
I wonder if there’s an inheritance from trade union, women’s sufferage, and related reform movement banners (on either side of the […]
Chuck Currie writes about the horrible murder of a conference minister of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, the Rev. Edison Lapuz. If there is a goverment connection, then let their action fall back up on them. In any case, it seems a terrible loss to his people.
Regular readers might feel a tug […]
David Warnock is as glad for Google Maps (in beta) being released for the UK as I was for their release in the US. (Thanks for the tip.)
Now I can fulfill my whistful wish and show you the relative distances between (the site of) Whitefield’s now lost London (Moorfields) Tabernacle where early Universalist James Relly […]
