Tête-à-Tête-Tête

Sunday - 9:30 - Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga
The book is Job, and I’ve gotta say I’m terribly excited about it. I hope anyone from the area who can make it to this session of Rediscovering the Bible, will make it. Those who can’t, religious or no, I hope you’ll take a while and re-read [...]

I’ve been way out of the loop the last week or two. Last week was a vacation from work, but with two dentist visits, a trip to the DMV and a host of other little errands, it didn’t seem much like a vacation at all. We did round everybody up for a trip [...]

As promised, here I am, back again this Monday. I’m afraid this will mostly be all about me, and my weekend, and I honestly can’t blame you if you don’t care. I mainly only care about my own. I will say, before I insist my feelings won’t be hurt if you navigate away to [...]

Ed M. at Captain’s Quarters uses the personal relationship between Larry Flynt and Jerry Falwell as a jumping off point for a brief note about seeing the humanity in your political enemies and behaving in a manner consistent with that practice.

I started with a very dim view of the practice of “Speaking in Tounges”. It still freaks me out a little bit. But after having a loved one join a charismatic church where the practice was common, and after my initial freaking out, I talked to a psychiatrist friend at my church who [...]

My own initial reaction, and probably a lot of political liberals, to the troubles of Ted Haggard, included at least a small sense of schadenfreude. But the matter is bigger than politics, bigger than religion.
I mostly sat on my hands and wondered to myself how the fundamentalist right would react. While I was [...]
