Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt Of King's Chapel Boston Gives Anti-Christian And Anti-Theist U*U Hypocrites Hell For Lent. . .
That's the Spirit Kristin! :-)
"The hatred of Christianity seems to me to be the elephant in the UUA’s proverbial room; the UUA pays significant lip service to our corporate need for nurturing and healing, but does little to actually promote the kind of targeted healing so many of our ex-Christian seekers seemingly need."
"Faced with the suffocating reality of not only anti-theism and anti-Christianity but also ageism and sexism in our Association at large and even among my ministerial colleagues, I have often found myself in an emotional desert. I’m angry at the hypocrisy of an Association of congregations that has largely abandoned its theological traditions."
The rest of Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt's "rambling stream-of-consciousness response" to Rev. Scott Wells' 'GIVING UP UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISM FOR LENT' blog post may be read here.
And I do recommend that U*Us would be well advised to read it and then respond in responsibility to the Spirit that bloweth where Rev. Kristen's "rant" listeth. . .

* It is almost a certainty that none other than Rev. Scott Wells deleted Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt's comment.
I assumed that Rev. Scott Wells just deleted Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt's comment, but it seems that he deleted his whole 'Giving Up Unitarian Universalism For Lent' blog post, along with all the associated comments.

Thankfully Rev. Scott Wells' blog post, and a "less than lucky" 13 comments, has been preserved for U*U posteriority by the Internet Archive. :-)
