More entries on UUA certification — not interesting — and other ephemera marked this quarter. Proper blogging picked up around March but — ah! — so many of the resources I then found point to dead sites.
Ubuntu two
Monday, January 3rd, 2005
Earlier, I referred to the Zulu word ubuntu, musing on its familiar themes to Universalists. Tonight, I was casting through those parts of the 1662 Anglican prayerbook in Zulu.
The worst site
Saturday, February 12th, 2005
I won’t be naming the worst website in the UUA but I have certainly found it.
Did Universalists do Ash Wednesday?
Saturday, February 12th, 2005
PeaceBang asked me (on her blog) to follow up with Fausto’s question on her posting about Ash Wednesday.
Ring-around-the-chancel
Saturday, February 19th, 2005
Call me silly but I have a fascination with mixed-use (or interfaith) religious architecture with a particular period (post-WWII it seems) feature: turntable altars.
Vandiver dies, Universalist ties
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005
Ernest Vandiver was one of those bridge “old South-new South” figures that leaves most people scratching their heads.
UCC and blog ads
Saturday, March 12th, 2005
I was going to comment on the UCC’s move to buy blog ads — I saw the story first at Philocrites.com — and build off of my last post, but then Philo wrote about the UCC blog ads and thought I had better comment while the iron’s hot.
CHMOD primer
Sunday, March 20th, 2005
Philocrites has said that blog ‘ware is too hard for non-geeks, and I said it needn’t be so if there were detailed directions for some of the housekeeping pieces, like setting permissions on the server (remote computer that has the files) — this is the enigmatic CHMOD.
How to run a meeting
Sunday, March 20th, 2005
Anyone who has even a passing responsibility in the running of churches need to read . . . .
Universalist hymn-writers remembered
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005
March 23 is the death anniversary of two Universalist hymn-writers. Given there weren’t all that many, this is a significant coincidence.
Risen indeed!
Friday, March 25th, 2005
The traditional Easter greeting and response is, in English, “Christ is risen!” and “He is risen indeed!” PeaceBang and I — as real, talking people — have been known to greet one another the same way in Greek and Slavonic.
Universalist daily prayer asked for
Friday, March 25th, 2005
A reader — I love y’all; keep those cards and letters coming — asked
Question: what prayer books, if any, do you recommend for daily use?
Historic theological bibliography
Saturday, March 26th, 2005
I have a new toy: an online book at Making of America:
Malcom, Howard. Theological index : references to the principal works in every department of religious literature embracing nearly seventy thousand citations, alphabetically arranged under two thousand heads. (1868)
KenCollins.com
Monday, March 28th, 2005
There is so much to love here. Essays galore, but if you have to start somewhere, check the reference sections and subordinate links.
Lutheran chanting resource
Monday, March 28th, 2005
For Easter Eve, I nearly went to a Missouri Synod Lutheran church and decided to put aside my scruples about attending churches that bar communion to me.
