"Do Unitarian Universalists Celebrate Christmas?" - November 25, 2018
on November 26th, 2018
“Do Unitarian Universalists celebrate Christmas?” Do people ask you this question? They certainly ask me. Usually it’s somewhere between Thanksgiving and New Year’s – I’m talking to someone who knows a little about our tradition but not much, and he wonders if I’m celebrating what he’s celebrating. I always say “yes,” but the answer’s not really that simple. We may be observing the same holy ... Read More

Frankenstein, the Monster, and Us - October 28, 2018
on October 28th, 2018
In many ways Frankenstein and his creature are doubles of one another. A theatrical production of the story which played in London a few years ago highlighted that with the actors playing Frankenstein and the creature switching roles every performance. The creature is hideous to look at, but a blind man in the book, unbiased by its appearance, is struck by the sincerity of his words and receives ... Read More

Healing the Heart of Democracy - October 14, 2018
on October 14th, 2018
As I thought this week about all the issues facing our democracy, this labeling of other people who disagree with us or cross us – or cut us off! – this making people “the other” or “those people” seems at the root of them all. And more and more it seems those labels come up: Those people who want to pull books from the Scituate school curriculum; those people who rejoiced when Brett ... Read More

A UU Diet - May 6, 2018
on May 6th, 2018
A healthy diet for body, mind and spirit seems ever harder to achieve. In most households, adults are working full-time out of the home, and if someone is staying at home, that can be a full-time job too. I get to the end of the day, to that window for cooking and eating dinner before heading out to a meeting or scouts or soccer practice, and even when I’ve planned a balanced meal, I often find ...

Type your new text here. "One of my favorite Charles Addams cartoons shows a college quad with a banner hung between pillars – “Welcome Class of ‘54”. Gathered below is the reuning class of ’54 – scruffy, in patched clothes, not a pin-striped suit or polished loafer among them. In the caption, one alumnus says to another: 'I thought it was me, but maybe the school’s no damn good.'I am thinking abo... Read More
