					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an idea. UUs should start doing regular love feasts. &#8220;Love feasts&#8221;&#8212;also called &#8220;agape feasts&#8220;&#8212;are a simple sharing of food and drink as a celebration of community.1 They are an ancient tradition from the Early Church that are sometimes connected to communion, sometimes not. My own experience of love feasts comes from my college fraternity. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I want to lay out the perspective on congregational membership that I&#8217;ve been using in my work as a membership director in a large UU congregation over the last year or so. Maybe this can add to the conversation about the meaning and scope of UU identity and the importance of initiation rituals in a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Philocrites makes a great point. In the Christian tradition, a person&#8217;s identification as a Christian is traditionally marked by a baptism. It is a public and symbolic ritual celebrated with a gathered community. Which is to say it is not a private or legal ritual, even when it is required for formal, legal membership in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<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[I&#8217;ve noticed a lot of Obama endorsements in the UU blogosphere these past few days. Why so many? Because Obama speaks our language: aspirational humanism. We believe that words of hope change things; similar words are spoken from UU pulpits each Sunday. But it&#8217;s more than his rhetoric. It&#8217;s his argument that the rhetoric of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A cool map of UU religious adherence shows, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the Northeast is the UU heartland, with significant outgrowths hugging the Great Lakes and the West Coast. There&#8217;s also some UU splotches on the Colorado-Wyoming line and the South Carolina-Tennessee line.

					<description><![CDATA[Peacebang on Unitarian hypocrisy: We&#8217;re just as fallen as any religious movement. We billed ourselves as the saviors, the reformers, the ones who would purify the church, and we failed. We just don&#8217;t see it, because the ways we have tunnel vision are so in sync with so much of liberal, secular culture, we have [&#8230;]]]></description>
