Coffee Hour

For your reading pleasure — and your blood pressure!

In other lively regions of the Interdependent Web, Chutney imagines "emergent" UU worship; our very own Baghdad blogger, A Virginia UU in King George's War, deals with boredom by practicing meditation; and the never-shy Davidson Loehr has roused a few lefty bloggers with his post-election sermon, "Living Under Fascism."

In her roundup of UU blogs, CC fails to point out that she herself launched a rip-roaring discussion over at Beliefnet about UUA President Bill Sinkford's post-election statement to the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. CC asks: When a religious leader makes a public statement in which each line begins, "We believe...," how is it not a creed? The Beliefnet conversation eventually degenerates into old college fight songs and inside jokes, but until then there's some interesting parsing of what is and is not an appropriate way to talk about what Unitarian Universalists believe.
