UU World magazine screwed up. Here are some things to read about what went wrong and the resultant damage. This is so maddening and sad, and it’s bigger than a horrible article. We must do better as religious progressives. It’s not ethical to say...

Here’s an interesting historical perspective and lovely video. I got these resources from the Unitarians in the Khasi region of Northeast India. Note that they are Unitarians, not UUs.

How important is a congregation’s name to you? Mine is considering a name change, and we don’t know whether to rename it to something relates to local geography—we are in a valley—or something related to our mission.

What’s your word for 2019? Mine is “coddiwomple,” an old English world for “to travel purposefully toward an as-yet unknown direction.” I suspect my cross-country sabbatical road trip will be full of surprises.

Wow. This year I lost my mom, my uncle, my aunt, my dog, and a mentor. All elderly. I don’t know about the dog’s spirituality but the mentor was Quaker, my mom UU, and my aunt and uncle were non-believers if some ilk. They were all of the mindset...
