A great resource

I love this site. It combines work on anti-racism, gender justice, environmental justice, economic justice, and social justice.

Here’s another.

Reading these could keep me busy for a long, long time.

Theology of Class

February 28, 2004

There are lots of books, articles, and theses on Class, but here’s an insightful piece relating class and Calvinism.

Thanks to The Right Christians for the link.

“Never be ashamed of love. Be ashamed of hate.”

As one of several new members to the Transformation Committee, I’m wondering if we can’t use technology to our advantage. I’ve set up this blog as a tool for us to communicate with each other and, when we’re comfortable, with anyone interested in the work we do.

If you’re new to weblogs or “blogs,” it might be important to point out some differences between a blog and a regular website. The most important difference, as far as the work we do, is that blogs are interactive. An author posts something and anyone reading it can reply by adding a comment. This results in an ongoing conversation.

Blogs also have their own culture and language. Here are some sites to introduce you to blogging:
20 definitions of blogging
a blog learning tool
a little history

If you noticed that those were links to other websites, you’ve found another of the neat things blogging offers. It’s easy to not only refer to something, but to connect the reader right to it. For instance, here’s a list of UU bloggers. If you read a few, you’ll see how blogging can quickly become a great means of building relationships and connections.

It’s my hope that we can use blogging to help us with our work.
