Lillithu,
I know you may not be around here much.... but here goes a post anyway...
There have been two "semi-monastic" orders in our faith movement over the years.. the Congregation of Abraxas was one of them. The other, whom I have had a greater affinity with (even though they made a bad...
Lillithu...
Yeah, that email sometimes gets a little wonky... change the ".com" on that email to ".org" and it will come directly to my outlook without going through about three spam filters. With a "public" email like that, I have no choice but to heavily filter it.
Listen, I am...
Hah! You made me laugh... because it is so true.
I visit UU congregations where ever I am... I was visiting one congregation in a Mid-West state that did not have any clue I was a UU Seminarian, and upon entering the door a very well meaning and kindly woman asked if I was a visitor. When...
Hi Lillithu,
I have not felt guilty (I know, kinda Catholic of me) for my long absence from the UU section on RF, because I knew you were here providing a voice of our faith. Keep me in the loop as to where you are and what you are doing.
BTW, one of your friends from All Souls is now...
Hey all, been awhile since I chimed in...
I was on the huge conference call that Bill Sinkford had with UU church leaders, and it was enlightening. The initial funding for the campaign up to this point has been donated by a few Unitarian Universalists... but additional funds are being raised...
Unfortunately, I will not be at General Assembly this year...
I will be at the U.S. Army Chaplain's Officers Basic Leadership Course, at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina all summer. I will be doing pushups and running, but also taking coursework in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Family...
Lillithu,
Ok, it is late at night, and Sandy is not looking over my shoulder....
I would be willing to provide a few pieces to such a site, and even to write some on-demand peices and to invite such writings from my fellow UU Seminarians. I could not do any of the administrative functions...
Thanks WO for putting that piece of mine back out there. I had not read it myself in over a year. Interesting, with as much as I have changed, I still beleive every word of it.
I dont make it to forums much anymore... between my ministry studies, my own ministry with the recruits at the...
I do not believe that humanity has any need to aspire to perfection... I dont think I really even hope for improvement...
What I do hope for is transformation. What I do hope for is that we will continue the process of becoming. Not becoming better, or more perfect... but just to continue...
Ok, before I launch into this... (which I shouldnt be doing, I should be either studying or sleeping) let me just say that alot of UU's might not agree with me... and this is fine. We are not supposed to always agree.
Unitarian Universalism is the most radical of all of the Protestant...
Maize,
You have a way of bringing up issues that touch my heart....
I am an Eagle Scout. The BSA has meant amazing things to me in my life. In many ways, the ideals that I learned in Scouting are part of why I am a UU now. Respect for nature, the interdependence of all things, the...
My first time at my new church here in Chicago this past Sunday was also the water communion...
Hi all! I'm once again checking in, and as of next week I will have internet back in my new apartment, so I should be able to be back online more, instead of just when I can get online in a coffee...
And how can you all forget these two links... our two Unitarian Universalist Seminaries....
The Meadville Lombard Theological School

The Starr-King School for the Ministry

NetDoc,
I might have been unclear about the UUCF... what you would find is that UUCF "Covenant Groups" meeting at and being members of local UU Churches. In other words, they are an organization within UU, not a separate kind of UU church.
So, if your old church does not have a UUCF...
Netdoc...
Also, I would check out the Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship....
There are indeed UU Christians out there... and I keep flirting with the idea of whether or not I am one of them.

Wow....
Ok, I should be doing hospital stuff, and not posting, but I cant let this one go by...
Ok, first off, I am a UU Veteran, and I am working to return to the military as a UU Military Chaplain. I also have recently taken over administering the UU's in the Military Blog...
Hey all,
Just thought I would check in with my fellow UU's. I am in my last several weeks of my CPE Student Hospital Chaplaincy in Tennessee, and then will be on my way up to Chicago...
I'm buried in my clinicals and studies here, but I had a few minutes, so I thought I would say Hello...
Hey all,
I know, I have been missing in action from the UU Section here at RF... and unfortunately I dont think that is going to change much in the near future....
I am spending my summer, as a part of my UU ministerial formation, as a hospital chaplain at the University of Tennessee...
Thank you... you are correct... :D
What I should have said was that Unitarianism in the UU context does not fully mean what it once did in relation to the unitarian/trinitarian controversy..
If you would like to see an organization of such non-UU Unitarians, just google "American Unitarian...
