Our parish has no place to change babies and no place to nurse them. I keep meaning to ask our pastor if we can organize something. Maybe find a used changing table and rocker and make a mom's room in one of the basement rooms.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-11166797500346167512011-10-27T14:32:03.308-05:002011-10-27T14:32:03.308-05:00Expat- if you come back to read this response- I&#...Expat- if you come back to read this response- I'm interested in why UU exists as a church and not as a social justice group that has decided to help homeless and advocate for environmentalism and abortion rights. I understand that different UU congregations have different causes they might take up- but if the UU believers believes that no truth is more important than others, why is there a need for 'chalice lighting' and such? <br /><br />One supreme truth that UU could get behind- the dignity of the human person simply because they are human- but by embracing this truth- they would have to advocate for all life and I think that makes them uncomfortable<br /><br />Thanks for commenting- and I didn't go into that coffee hall looking to critique the UU community- I just found it interesting<br /><br />My 'position' or questions about UU might be better explained by the post I wrote the next day- I don't know if you read part 2 of thispriest's wife - S.T./ Anne Boyd https://www.blogger.com/profile/03792937108732259684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-35508638946269175162011-10-27T14:15:21.807-05:002011-10-27T14:15:21.807-05:00Look, do us all a favor:

We won't come into yours and point out all the problems (and speaking as a former Catholic, Catholicism has a slew of them.)<br /><br />You speak of a Supreme Truth as if it is an advantage. Personally, I see it as a potentially dangerous flaw. People are willing to die, and more dangerously, to kill for what they consider Supreme Truths. For me, the biggest advertisement for Unitarian Universalism over the past 100 years was the 9 / 11 attacks. That, my friend, is the ultimate conclusion of a "Supreme Truth."The Expatriatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762488684043664889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-11219820792172749672011-10-25T10:37:10.344-05:002011-10-25T10:37:10.344-05:00*sigh* Why does the ease at taking care of one'...*sigh* Why does the ease at taking care of one's children in a church seem to be inversely proportional to the church's opposition to birth control? When my first child was about 3 months old I took a Sunday off work and we, along with some friends, took the 60 mile journey to the closest parish offering the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Mass. When I got into the ladies' room, I found the following note above the trash can: "Please do not throw diapers away in the restroom or in the kitchen or in the dumpster. TAKE THEM HOME WITH YOU." The changing table that someone had so generously donated when I was attending that parish in my teens was covered with stuff. We have not been back, but apparently the family with 10 kids sitting in the front wasn't insulted. If I'd gone into any pro-choice Protestant church, I'd have had a nice changing table with a place to throw away my diapers and someone would have let me know where there was a nice comfy chair for nursing.Alicenoreply@blogger.com
