• The Unitarian center: UK edition

  
  — Authority:
  Last year I made a somewhat silly mapping thought exercise: locating the geographic center of the membership of the Unitarian Universalist Association . That’s one way to describe what holds us all together, I suppose. This year, I’ve sought out and geocoded all the member churches of the General Assembly of ...

• What if you came with me?

  
  — Authority:
  A Facebook friend posted a status today that said, something to the effect of, “Sometimes you just have to trust that evildoers (I believe he actually said wrongdoers ) will get it in the end or you would go insane.” (paraphrased) This is a sentiment I have heard over and over my whole life. Every ...

• Welcoming Tsarnaev home

  
  — Authority:
  People are quite adamant that the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev not be given a burial ground.  Even people within my faith community are questioning why any Unitarian Universalist might offer a grave site to this man who caused so much pain in his last few weeks of life.  Here is my response.  It will not be a popular ...

• Bored of directors

  
  — Authority:
  You can only dodge the bullet for so long. Somehow I dodged it for sixteen years. That’s how long I’ve been attending my local Unitarian Universalist church. And that’s how long I’ve not been on its board of directors. Not that I never did anything more than put money into the collection plate. Over the years ...

• Review of Brad Jersaks Her Gates Will Never Be Shut - by Paul Rivas

  
  — Authority:
         I recently finished reading Brad Jersak’s  Her Gates Will Never Be Shut: Hope, Hell, and the New Jerusalem . it was a much more satisfying read than Bells  Love Wins  which left me saying, “But what about this verse and what about that verse?”      Jersak does a good job of looking at the ...

• What is Sound Doctrine – Steve Hill

  
  — Authority:
  “Many are oblivious to the dangers on the horizon. In this spiritual whiteout the reference points—the ancient landmarks—have been covered.

  — Authority:
  HeIn his final book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, The Last Battle , C.S.

• Dangerous Deletions

  
  — Authority:
  [This is largely a re-presentation of a post I wrote in 2011, with a few amendments.] This morning, I was looking at the Bible lessons most ELCA Lutherans (like me) and members of many other "mainline" Christian denominations will be using during our Sunday worship in May. On May 19, the second lesson well read at ...

• The Sentimental View of Hell

  
  — Authority:
  Here’s an interesting fact: Jesus preached about hell a lot while Paul never mentioned it by name. Have you ever wondered why? The reason has to do with their different audiences. Since Jesus mostly preached the law to those under law , it was necessary for him to be a hellfire preacher. Hence his references to ...

• What is cultural relativism?

  
  — Authority:
  It is why the nations of the western world as we know them are doomed! Politicians only care about staying in power and maintaining order, the willfully unsaved only care out maintaining their sensuoous lifestyle and raging against anything that places restrictions on their debauched lifestyle. Constantine in Roman ...

• Bi-religious Duality

  
  The Friendly Funnel — Authority: 109
  There’s often an underlying tension when one professes to be a member of two religions. There’s the constant challenge of “Well, how can you be both X and Y?” And often one avoids answering the question by either outright ignoring it or starting a long convoluted explanation about how even though these two ...

• The Moral Argument

  
  — Authority:
  A few weeks back Utah state senator Stuart Reid defended his vote against the anti-discrimination act protecting employment and housing rights of people of gender and sexual diversities.  He stated he did so because he believes homosexuality to be immoral.  In summary his argument was as follows and I quote: ...

• Justice as a Spiritual Practice

  
  — Authority:
  This past week was a difficult one for me. Watching the state house accepting lies as facts in their passing HB 57 shutting down a women’s ability to have dominion over the fate of her body by restricting access to clinics was difficult to bear. It was also difficult to learn the Accountability Act has the negative ...

• A map of British Unitarian churches forthcoming

  
  — Authority:
  The annual meeting of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches took place recently, and (to mark the occasion) I have taken to reading the annual report (for 2012, PDF).

• Christians and the Environment

  
  — Authority:
  I am rather a skeptic when it comes to many of the claims of global warming and environmentalism. However, this skepticism about the prognostications of doom and gloom does not indicate that I am unconcerned about the planet we live on. It is quite the opposite, really. I want my skepticism to allow me to find better ...

• The Satanic world system is rapidly progressing toward Antichrist

  
  — Authority:
  With so many people calling themselves “progressives” these days you would think that the progressives would have made some progress over the years but it looks to me like this Satanic world system is now rapidly progressing toward the Antichrist and its own doom. The hippie generation of the 1960′s thought they ...
