Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Occupy Wall Street – A Sign of the Times. Posted by United Church of Christ. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Ten years later, shoulder to shoulder. September 11, 2011, has come and gone, and Im feeling that now, the heavy lifting begins again. The period of reflection and commemoration was as rich as it was long. There were ample opportunities to stop and reflect on the meaning of that tragic day 10 years ago. Posted by United Church of Christ. Links to this post.

The United Church of Christ: Ten years later, shoulder to shoulder

http://unitedchurchofchrist.blogspot.com/2011/10/ten-years-later-shoulder-to-shoulder.html

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Ten years later, shoulder to shoulder. September 11, 2011, has come and gone, and I'm feeling that now, the heavy lifting begins again. The period of reflection and commemoration was as rich as it was long. There were ample opportunities to stop and reflect on the meaning of that tragic day 10 years ago. This is how Shoulder to Shoulder describes itself:. I was on the program to speak as a leader from the Christian tradition. In my remarks I lifted up our UCC General Synod ...

The United Church of Christ: November 2011

http://unitedchurchofchrist.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 28, 2011. No, Im not going to launch into a theological reflection on the Trinity. Im sure that most who might tune into this blog are quite familiar with that kind of thing and dont need or want me to give my latest version here. So, I wont. However, I did come across something that has a Trinitarian ring on a recent visit to the UCC in the upper Mid-west, in Minnesota. Posted by United Church of Christ. Links to this post.

Tuesday, November 08, 2011. An Ecumenical Visit to Germany and the UEK (Union of Evangelical Churches). Krista Grengel, Reinhard Groscurth, and Peter Makari.

The United Church of Christ: Why Wait?

http://unitedchurchofchrist.blogspot.com/2011/12/why-wait.html

Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Many U.S. citizens are aware of the embargo and share the view that this is an unnecessary and failed policy that serves as a barrier to economic development in Cuba, leading to impoverishment and other economic hardship. The embargo harms constructive people-to-people relationships between Cubans and North Americans, many of whom are Cuban Americans. So, we wait and we hope for the day that it ends.
