					<description><![CDATA[Without members of actual congregations, Unitarian Universalism would die. Without members of national UU organizations (like C*UUYAN, to pick a timely example), Unitarian Universalism will be just fine, if somewhat more sedentary in lifestyle. Let&#8217;s lay it all out on the table.1 The movement known as Unitarian Universalism is kept alive by actual people who [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why do we welcome the stranger? Seems to me there are two types of motivations: mercy and justice. Merciful welcomers focus on the giving of gifts. For them, welcome is an expression of the abundance of life. It&#8217;s a matter of generosity. They give because they have been given much. At its worst, merciful welcome [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve got atheists and agnostics to be sure, they aren&#8217;t irreligious. Otherwise they wouldn&#8217;t come to worship or sign the membership book. Or perhaps we&#8217;re looking at the religious irreligious? I don&#8217;t know. I hate to contribute to our [&#8230;]]]></description>

I wonder if UUism more closely resembles Hinduism. We Unitarians try to practice an open, practical, religious pluralism, and the gold standard of religous pluralism is Hinduism.

					<description><![CDATA[Looking over the growing list of ideas to &#8220;fix UUism&#8221; over at ChaliceChick, it occurs to me that the vast majority are about what Roger Kuhrt calls the &#8220;hypercorporatism&#8221; of the national Association and its authorizing body, the annual General Assembly. Which is to say, they&#8217;re really not about fixing butts-in-the-pews Unitarian Universalism at all. [&#8230;]]]></description>
