Some of us have started a monthly 10 a.m. UU Christian service, serving (ARRGH!) communion and talking about (GASP!) distributive justice-compassion.<br /><br />I'm working on getting your blog listed on a links page on our Christian UU page on our website.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I'm glad you're in the ditch so when I miss, I'll have somebody to fall on!

We just received a letter from his niece who, although it took her 5 years to realize her church "might be a cult" (she nearly took out a restraining order against the minister when they left recently), she feels compelled to let us know how sadly mislead we are for our choice of FPCe.<br /><br />A printout of this sermon, along with a copy of Tony Feathers' "You Handle Your Snake, I'll Handle Mine" will make the perfect Darwinmas gift for her, I think!Snadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-66314026057298622012011-01-23T16:15:27.791-08:002011-01-23T16:15:27.791-08:00I have found the NT translation called "Resto...I have found the NT translation called "Restored New Testament" by Willis Barnstone (2009) to be very helpful in understanding the Jewish identify of Jesus and the apostles, and the incongruity of the anti-Jewish zingers that are scattered through the NT.Michael_SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179192580620356545noreply@blogger.com
