"I was just floored," said the Rev. Gary Smith. "They live in what is mostly a barter economy without a lot of ...cash. It's just stunning generosity that speaks volumes about our relationship with them."Read More

Steven Shepard I subscribed with reservations. As a former member of four Unitarian churches located around the country I would like to see a publication that is more honest about the UU Church and the issues congregations struggle with. For example, to my observation one of the biggest weaknesses in the church at this time are UU Ministers.

UU World : From the archives: Patricia Montley writes, "Although in the minds of most modern people who celebrate it, Halloween is now a secular holiday that has lost its religious association with saints and souls of the beloved dead, there are still many people around the globe who celebrate festivals of the dead, many of them at this time of year."

UU World : Meg Barnhouse recalls her time as an adolescent potions mistress at her UU church's Halloween carnival: "People complained about how awful some of the potions tasted. 'What do you want?' I asked, with what I hoped was charm. 'Cheap grace? Pretty magic? Magic is rough! Change is hard.'"

UU World : Elizabeth A. Lerner writes about a lonely cricket trapped in her bathroom wall: "Because his effort is futile and heroic in its persistence; because it is for love, or at least love as crickets know it; and no doubt because he is scraping away with his wings like a bow on strings, in such lifeless conditions, it has taken on a kind of crazy romance for me—the stuff of opera, the ultimate in doomed love."
