    Would you care if Jesus was ugly?

    Jesus's appearance wouldn't matter to me one bit. All that matters to me is his scandalous acts of inclusion and his teachings.

    Disciples of Christ

    I love the Disciples of Christ. They are our sister denomination in the UCC. I have worshiped in three Disciples churches so far and each experience has been refreshing and fun. I love the use of covenant, the diversity and autonomy of churches, the Lord's supper being celebrated daily, there...

    Epiphany Community Church in Fenton Michigan

    You're right, seeker57, Christophobia does largely stem from those who came from narrow expressions of Christian faith like fundamentalism, Conservative Evangelicalism or orthodox Catholicism. After being exposed to those expressions of the faith they thus lump all Christians including us UU...

    Circumcision should be banned

    There's a difference between giving a person a option in things they have control over- (i.e. their religious tradition or lack thereof, when or who they make love to, who they marry, where to go to college) and doing things they don't have control over (taking medicines, undergoing medical...

    We die because of Adam and Eve?: How crazy!

    The idea of all God's children being punished for the actions of two mythical fruit eating ingrates called Adam and Eve is utterly obscene. God I believe does not punish people for the sins of their ancestors. Punishment is to be the done for the purpose of correction and not for punishment...

    Circumcision should be banned

    I understand that a lot of parents circumcise their baby boys to prevent disease and for religious reasons. That's fine but I feel uncomfortable with the idea that they are making a decision on the child's behalf without giving him an option. I am of the opinion that when the kid reaches...

    14 year-old girl wears rosary beads to school. Guess what happens

    Suspended for wearing a rosary? That's ridiculous. People are free to wear whatever religious symbol they so desire. The logic administration is using is twisted- it is the same nuttiness they used when other schools have suspended Jewish students for wearing a Star of David.

    Is Sarah Palin Finished?

    In any circle outside of the Republican Party/Religious Right, Palin would have been finished. But because the Religious Right/Republican Party is filled with cronyism, hate, and hypocrisy, they don't want to hold Palin accountable for her destructive actions and statements. They give her a free...

    WBC to picket 9-Year-Old Arizona Shooting Victim's funeral

    Westboro's theology, and practices are extremely hateful yet they are still beloved children of God. God's light within them has grown dim and their hearts closed off. I hope and pray that God cleanses them of hate and injustice. That they would be awakened to God's extravagant love and...

    Epiphany Community Church in Fenton Michigan

    The reasons varied- some ministers like Peter Boullata and Parisa Parsa left for other parishes. Peter left for First Parish in Weston, MA (another UU Christian Church) and Parisa Parsa left for First Parish in Milton, MA. Others left because they were serving interim ministries or they were...

    Epiphany Community Church in Fenton Michigan

    I remember hearing form a couple of my friends who attended Epiphany that some of the reasons Epiphany shut down included Christophobia in the UUA, lack of support from the local district and the UUA, their ministers did not stay long, their fellow UUs in neighboring congregations had an...

    Court Rules Mount Soledad Cross Unconstitutional

    The cross is my symbol. Display of a cross would be fine in a church, a monastery, on private property or some other place that is not on government land. The Mt. Soledad Cross makes me uneasy because it is a Veteran's Memorial that claims to honor the sacrifice of all soldiers regardless of...
