As the minister at our UU says, "Evangelize." Not most UUs favorite word, but just relating the facts about UUism does quite a job on many folks. Thanks for sharing that story!
Holy cats! Better than my experience of a classmate asking me to lunch, then confessing that he didn't think he was "really" a Christian anymore because process theology and some of the stuff I said in constructive theology made a lot of sense.

I have to share this with my UU friend who took time off to recuperate after spending a semester at a Christian seminary and feeling like he was constantly having to fight for his beliefs -- he'll love your story!
Wowee, you ole missionary you!
ReplyDeletePreach it, sister! Must have been one heckuva paper!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I can't imagine! I'm a student at a fairly liberal Christian seminary and I still can't imagine! What an amazing event.

ReplyDeleteWow, you should share that life-changing paper on your blog! Sounds like powerful stuff!

Very Cool!
ReplyDeleteYou really are very special and spectacular, you know.
