Yep, some blog reviews
by ChalicechickNew UU blogger Dan Harper kicks of Yet another UU Blog by doing nothing special, just
At Ministrare, Sean has nice things to say about the Rev. Sinkford.
Prophet Motive has some cool stuff to say about the church's role in politics.
Unity rocks.
Greg has put up his last post from Iraq
And finally, for those of you who believe atheists are frequently minstreated in UU churches, Dr. Rieux has something to say on the topic.

I hope that we can all learn to get along!

On infidelityblog.org, I've posted (at least links to) an enormous amount of the material I allege is inappropriate. Please, read said material and judge for yourself--you don't need to take my word for it.
Finally, I'd like to point out that I'm a UU atheist "in a supportive congregation" myself. And happily so; I think there is indeed some hope that we can all get along, smijer.
