Her typically snarky post seems to have been about a UCC church from what I can gather. I was just pointing out that much of her commentary was applicable to U*U churches and thus your own critical commentary, especially the -<BR/><BR/>"We won’t challenge you. You will always leave feeling good. We stand for nothing. We like everyone."<BR/><BR/>bit, could apply very well to a good number of U*U "churches" if not the U*U Movement more generally.Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18473139.post-55652472707869787522009-04-08T17:54:00.000-04:002009-04-08T17:54:00.000-04:00Trying again:I am a minister in a pretty conservat...Trying again:<BR/><BR/><I>I am a minister in a pretty conservative denomintion. As for PeaceBang's status as a "Christian" I have no knowledge or comment. <BR/>I left a shorter version of this comment (in reply to your comment) over at my place.</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Roger, you said that my comment to PB's post, "...Is the not-so-underlying message of no shortage of U*U "churches". <BR/><BR/>I probably would agree. The little I know of the UU world would cause me to tend to classify it generally as guilt free theology. I am not an apologist for the UU Movement, to say the least. I'm not involved pro or con. <BR/><BR/>I did not know PB's post was about a sister UU church. That does seem a bit like shooting oneself in the foot--but again--I am not the person to say. <BR/><BR/>I also have no wish whatsoever to intrude in your discussion of the problems in UU circles, your experinece there, nor the inner workings of UU congregations or ministers. It would be like a duck discussing the goings on of chickens, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>All things considered, I probably should not have left a comment at all. <BR/><BR/>Peace.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18473139.post-29728319752748303592009-04-08T17:49:00.000-04:002009-04-08T17:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.com
