This is something I wrote about a decade ago when I was trying to sort out the difference between Universalist and Folkish for myself. A lot of what's in this essay has been covered by other posters in the previous entry, but people have said they've found it to be a useful tool, so I figured I'd go ahead and share it anyway :) There's a brief entry on it at the AsaWiki , and a copy of the ...
... Johnson. The latter, I think, isn't very participatory these days. It is virtuallyimpossible to create a convenient system to quicklysort someone by religious preference. This is partly due to the presence of Unitarian Universalists in my data. I THINK a three-field set of acronyms will cover it (self: UU AGN PAG, Whines: HUM UU ATH, mom: ANG LIB...) I think I'm about a week away from "going...
... different identifications to lay claim to the Great Emancipator as one of their own. Unitarians and Universalists have been among those throwing elbows and casting nets. Scott, a Southerner by birth ... the regional disdain with which you grew up. But I think many modern Unitarians and Universalists can find much with which to resonate in Lincoln’s personal spiritual journey. It ...
... pretty much dissed Catholics and Orthodox Christians with that move. Please understand that half my office is Jewish. Of the half that isn't, it's split between agnostics, outright atheists, Unitarian Universalists, cafeteria Catholics, and liberal Christians. So I'm not exaggerating when I say that no one in my office looked uncomfortable with Warren's move at the end. There were an awful lot ...

1. Unitarian Universalists are the bomb, no lie. Mom went with me to a UU service this morning, and I love these uber-liberal, socially involved people. I'm applying for a position as Development Coordinator at The Caring Place, a non-profit shelter for battered women and children, and I must have met half a dozen people at this church who are somehow involved in working there. That's the kind of ...
...fluffy heap for about 2 hours. Then they got up and started all over again - I guess no baths for 5 days is just sheer torture if you are a finch. Today we headed out to try the Unitarian/Universalists in Des Moines. It is 33 miles away, much farther than the local Tacoma branch, but we tried that one several times and there just wasn't a connection. The "Saltwater" church (it's on the Sound)...
... rights movement, and our current advocacy on behalf of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons. We truly are a church of “all souls,” not just some souls. “It will take time for Unitarian Universalists to mourn and to heal. But let me assure you that we will not change our beliefs or compromise our demands for social justice. Fear will not prevent us from standing on the side of love, ...
...'t sound too odd to the LJ world but people in real life realize that I have been an atheist for the last seven or so years of my life. No, I haven't found god. I've found the Unitarian Universalists. I decided on a bit of a whim last week to check them out. The service, or whatever they want to call it, was pretty cool, very anti-war. And the people were really great and welcoming. First the old ...
.... In order to make this reconciliation authentic, there are two big questions that are often asked: The first is: Can faith make sense? And the second: Can religion stand the test of reason? Unitarian Universalists tend to answer both of these in the affirmative, which is, I admit, one of the reasons I’m here. But there are two more questions that I don’t think are asked very often, and ...
