Looking back, I’m quite proud of my writing in February 2006. Quite a bit about on the practice of worship and several pages of hard-to-find transcribed Universalist General Convention documents.
Church websites should have details for Sunday servers
Thursday, February 2nd, 2006
I was reading through the list of churches of the Church of England, Diocese of Europe, and lighted on St. Ursula’s Church, Berne. Because I have Swiss German ancestors? No, because I love the name Ursula. (As in Andress.)
Emergency weather feeds
Saturday, February 4th, 2006
There’s a resource that I doubt many ministers or church administrators know about: the Experimental XML Feeds and Web Displays of Watches, Warnings, and Advisories. With it, you can subscribe to an RSS feed for your state, county, or in some cases, sub-county. [That’s all you need]

Now, a word on what is ordinary and what is proper.
Folding pulpit
Sunday, February 19th, 2006
There I saw the answer to a problem few have and even fewer have written about: a folding pulpit or reading desk for congregations that rent Sunday space in a non-church facility.
On Chutney’s morning prayer, part 3
Friday, February 24th, 2006
PeaceBang . . . and I talked recently about whether services like these are used in toto, or are essentially showrooms for elements to be pulled into locally produced service sheets. Both, we thought.

How does that little smudge get on the forehead? What do you use?
