Doak Maddox Mansfield Shameless commerical plug here.... Check out my new book: An Irreverent Guide to Spirituality available online from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Been at this UU stuff for nearly forty years and this is my take on spirituality. Great reviews and Dr. Cornel West gave it an endorsement! Let me hear from you. Best ~ Doak

Justin Braton Can anyone tell me what happened with the Statement of Conscience on Peacekeeping? Did we adopt it, reject it, or put it on hold?

That's great! We met a baggage handler at the airport and, by her tattoos, thought she she would be interested in our choice for a beneficiary. She was. Hope she shows up at a local congregation.

Kylie Hi,
I'm starting a paper on UUs and evolution (and all the stuff that comes with it) and could use a starting point or a good source. Any suggestions?
Kylie

Hi Kylie, Some Unitarian Universalist congregations have celebrated Evolution Sunday and Darwin's birthday. A good way to start your research might be to search online for congregations which have held those observances and contact them for more information.

Tonight's Service of the Living Tradition can be summed up in one word: dull. The Reading went on way too long. The music, thought done well, was average, at best. And using just a piano was, to say the least, ho-hum. Where was the band? Where was the organ? Where was some liveliness, like living people participating in a living tradition?
Carol

It may have been dull for some folks, but I found it inspiring. The sermon was deeply moving, and I loved the music. Different people like different things.

It surprises me that anyone would think that twitter would be better to reach young adults... Facebook BEGAN as a site only for students! Nearly every "young adult" I know uses facebook, but I know very few who use twitter. But as Virginia says above, you can tie twitter to a facebook account so that both are updated at the same time.

It's true that you can tie the two together, but only at the lowest common denominator (i.e., the 140-character limit of Twitter).

My journey has been about seeking the true message of Jesus (Yeshua): spirituality, no condemnation, no Hell, no demons, etc. Yes...unity, peace, love, joy and truth. No separation and no exclusion...so thankful to be able to see this.
