A person more politically astute than I noted this state presidential campaign site and remembered the UCC site with the “Hi! I’m Hans” flash animation.

GS 2007: blogging Synod
UCC minister Kirk Moore (Kirogitation) is blogging regularly the events of the United Church of Christ General Synod in Hartford, Connecticut. They have an interesting program today; I would rather like to see Sen. Barack Obama, a member of a UCC church in Chicago, speak this afternoon. Many of my readers know James Estes (Peregrinato);… Continue reading GS 2007: blogging Synod
GA 2008: pimp my seminary
Psst! Theological students, over here. If I wanted to improve the profile of my seminary — particularly if I’ve heard that it has a soft reputation, a problem with enrollment or that my denomination is about to slice its funding –Â I might want to follow the example of the students of the United Church… Continue reading GA 2008: pimp my seminary
UCC.org: the step they took
Later. If you care about UCC.org, or church websites in general, see Anna Belle Leiserson’s break-down of the facts at her Faith and Web. Well, if you go to UCC.org now, you get your choice of high and low bandwidth. What does the low bandwidth choice get you: the same list of links — with… Continue reading UCC.org: the step they took
UCC.org: an interim step
Later. I don’t see the furore at the UCC forum I’d expect if my denominational site was inaccessible; indeed, others just love it. (I have to turn off the style — see below — just to see the links to the forum. Perhaps others can’t comment.) In any case, I’ll withdraw my call to help.… Continue reading UCC.org: an interim step
Let’s help the UCC
I think this is a job for International Rescue — er, Ecumenical Rescue. People at UCCForums with dialup are complaining they can’t read their denominational site at all, and and me with my poor DSL line can’t get any functionality. Except Hans the UCC Answer Guy. Perhaps I’ll have better luck at Day Job: we… Continue reading Let’s help the UCC
New UCC site: get me my lemon reamer
James Estes (Peregrinato) visited the new UCC website and tagged me for my opinion. He writes: Simply put, I don’t like the new website for the United Church of Christ–at least at first glance. I really don’t care for the menu bar with its so self-consciously hip titles: The 411, Church Stuff (…can we be… Continue reading New UCC site: get me my lemon reamer
Blogger: Matthew Davis Fox
I’ve added the LiveJournal page feed for (the Rev.) Matthew Davis Fox on my feed reader at home. I found it after I Googled his name after finding at reference to his ordination at the All Souls Bethlehem Church, Brooklyn website. As some of my readers may know, All Souls Bethlehem is a three-way federated… Continue reading Blogger: Matthew Davis Fox
UCC to stream its business
UCC will broadcast all business “gavel to gavel” of the General Synod this June. Cool. So says the United Church News. (I rather wish the UUA had substantive business like, say, contested elections, but that’s another post.)
Can any national meeting really be green?
With the hit carbon offsetting firms are getting — how do you know they do what they claim to do? — the usefulness of offsetting carbon emissions for the UUA General Assembly is at least questionable. And even if it worked perfectly, it seems the greater energy and resource drain comes from the flying or… Continue reading Can any national meeting really be green?
