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… Continue reading Better hope for the Unitarian Universalists

Other coverage of UUCF Revival?
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)… Continue reading Other coverage of UUCF Revival?
The Liberal Christian: update
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… Continue reading The Liberal Christian: update
Unitarian Universalist group at Identi.ca
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.

Liberal Christian magazine attracts attention

And the building is on the site of the house where Thomas Paine died, thus Crisis. While I was away, I tried to authorize… Continue reading Liberal Christian magazine attracts attention

So, what happened to FUUSE?
Was the once-much-acclaimed youth and young adult site FUUSE.com simply a victim of social networking concentration — mainly to Facebook — or is there something more to the story? ‘Cause I went over there to see what was new and it’s a ghost town. Not that I have much love for anything name with a… Continue reading So, what happened to FUUSE?
“The Duties of Hard Times”
As a way of testing my PDF scanning workflow, I wanted to publish a document that was plainly in the public domain and potentially interesting to my readership. I had on hand a sermon by the Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham, the minister of the (Unitarian) First Church of Boston, preached there April 23, 1837, entitled “The… Continue reading “The Duties of Hard Times”
