Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

Very cool people. I knew a couple of Unitarians in Seminary, and loaned some videos to a Unitarian minister in training at Vanderbilt some years ago. That Divinity student was leading the service at the Unitarian church where she was doing her field education, and decided that the theme would be Spike -- yes, my own dear Spike of BtVS -- as model Unitarian (with clips of him saying things like "From now on, we'll have a little less ritual and a lot more fun around here!") as compared to the surprisingly Calvinistic theology represented by Angel. I still have a copy of the worship service bulletin with Spike's face on the cover that she gave me when she returned my videotapes.

Anyway, the folks at this church made sure I knew about their Wednesday night suppers (which conflict with my teaching schedule, but maybe next semester...) and their worship service times (assuring me that blue jeans are always appropriate even at the 11 AM, and since I tend to over-sleep on Sundays when I haven't got a preaching job and thus miss the casual-dress 8:15 AM service at my nearest Presbyterian Church, I'm very glad to know about their 9 AM option).

I definitely want to keep in touch with this group.
