Two new websites are emerging, perhaps related, but it is hard to tell. The first is for Unitarian Christians in Italy, suggesting some kind of denomination. CristianiUnitari.org for the Gruppo Cristiano Unitariano d’Italia, and then there’s another site UnitarianChristian.net. There’s something about the formatting of the two sites that suggests a more than a link-me,… Continue reading Unitarian Christians: in English and Italian
Category: World Unitarianism and Universalism
Lively from Leeds
Blogshares included a Unitarian Universalist blog that I had never heard of, and followed the link to discovered it was the news page (powered by some kind of blogging software) of the Mill Hill Unitarian Chapel, Leeds. I mention it because it is one of the nicest websites of any Unitarian church in Great Britain.… Continue reading Lively from Leeds
New Unitarian churches: Norway and Burundi
Webwatchers have known that Norway has long had a Unitarian advocate in Knut but now there’s a website for the Unitarian Christian Church in Norway (English and Norwegian). And Burundi? The Unitarian Fraternity in Bordeaux, France scooped the Internet (I think) with news about Unitarian Christians in that southern African country. The news (in French)… Continue reading New Unitarian churches: Norway and Burundi

It is a small volume a… Continue reading “Orders of Worship” (1944)

The last Universalist-named church has been gone a half-century. More on that later. I was struck (again) by how secular London is, and yet how Christianity,… Continue reading Some statistics: UK and Unitarian
Mrs. Gaskell’s church
Time flies, blog entries grow stale, and unless new entries are made, Movable Type will empty the blog in what seems to be a very short time. I’ve noticed that most [Unitarian | Universalist] blogs are a bit spare this week. So, back to Matthew Gatheringwater’s blog. [Defunct; quite a loss.] He refers to English… Continue reading Mrs. Gaskell’s church
Unitarian Christian Association (UK) online
Good word today: the Unitarian Christian Association, the British counterpart to the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship, has gone online, and in quite an attractive way. See http://www.unitarianchristian.org.uk/. [2009. New site.] I particularly like the entry about the Annual Meeting of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches [GAUFCC link], and my one regret… Continue reading Unitarian Christian Association (UK) online
