DON'T GO TO THEWITNESS.COM.... entirely different site

or what!!!?????

The site that was previously mentioned is good-it is the site that is run by Sojourners whose executive officer is Jim Wallis. On the two year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq they called for and facilitated vigils at about 1200 sites around the nation.

have sent him a letter asking him to repent if memory serves... that sounds pretty liberal to me.

I was sort of keeping tally of all the religious groups whose central governing bodies rebuked W before the invasion of Iraq. Some cited St Augustine's notion of a "just war" to indicate that this was not. The message didn't seem to make it all the way to the pews, but I think it's important to note that the only major religious body in the US that did NOT rebuke the prez was the Southern Baptist Convention.

I think the Bushes have kept their Methodist affiliation because it is a mainstream sect. Putting "far-right-wingnut" in the blank for Religion on the app for president probably wouldn't have gone over quite as well.

Perhaps living life based upon a framework of reality and science, rather than fantasy, might be nice.

But thanks for your input, and I must say I really appreciate your smearing with the broad brush.

Usually my pithy gems go unnoticed.

it is all in the point of view

It is what really is....not what we wish was.

Isn't that good news?

The Community of Welcoming Congregations as well as Peace Church of the Brethren, both based in Portland, Oregon:

posting in GD would allow for more responses more quickly.

They're awesome

Not specifically liberal, but I have met so many progressive spiritually oriented people here that I would say it meets the criteria. The book is amazing - the intelligent life in the Universe, life on other planets, God, Jesus (before and after his life on earth), black holes (dark gravity bodies), lots more. Very cool.

UUs tend to be quite liberal, open, and have a sense of humor about ourselves. My sister's church in Massachusetts was founded in 1769, but the sect goes back about 500 years to Europe.

Unitarian refers to one God rather than a Trinity; and Universalism refers to universal salvation rather than universal damnation with salvation for a select few (a popular idea at times in Western history -- like right now).

The UUs are embracing enough that there is even a pagan branch, CUUPS, or Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans.

Sexuality is not an issue: there are GLBT ministers as well as the usual straight female and male ministers.My mom's minister in Salt Lake City is transgendered.

My Lutheran cousin was inspired to write the following as a "UU hymn" which our UU side of the family thinks is funny:

All praise to whom it may concern
No creed or -ism do we spurn
Raise up your voice for God is love
Or all, or none, of the above.
Amen. Salem. Amin. Shalom. Om.
by "Doc" Sology (aka my cousin Larry W.)

More: UUs tend to be involved in "good works" in the community far in excess of their percentage in the population. I like that, too.

Check us out.

Nyssa all shorty after 200AD - while Clement was against gnostic concepts as then expressed, Clement and his students placed the Son and the Spirit below God the Father (Logos), and their beliefs were declared heretical - and the Pope remove Clement from the Martyrs calender - around 600AD with Unitarianism living on in various communities in Europe.

European antecedents, other than also rejecting the Trinity.

I regard most Unitarian claims on the Founding Fathers to be equally ludicrous.

I was brought up UU, by the way.
