The theology of Unitarian Universalism is welcoming to people of all faith backgrounds. Shared values are a roof that shelters a wide variety of religious traditions. We particularly welcome interfaith and GLTB couples. Our Minister, the Rev. Jennifer Brooks, coordinates interfaith services with Cantor Avi Tekken (of Brookline, MA). Cantor Tekken teaches Hebrew school to children of the Island’s Congregation Shirat Ha’Yam, which holds Shabbat services in the Meeting House during the summer months. http://www.unitarianchurchnantucket.org/weddinginfo.htm

Also a "GLTB" hangout

Thousands of speakers addressed small audiences across America, yesterday. Some may have had interesting presentations. Aggressive PR and media bias ae the reasons we keep hearing about her.

Ah, the "Unitarian Universalist Church" believing in everything, and believing in nothing!

Rev. Lovejoy: Here's a box of Unitarian candies.

Lisa Simpson: But the box is empty?

Rev. Lovejoy: Exactly!

The Sheehan Cult actually believes that fasting for a day is doing something special.



They call it a “rolling” fasting. Didn't you hear Rush?

Cindy Sheehan prefers to live in Venezuela under the dictatorship of El Supremo Hugo Chavez

Yes but he democratically elected 8 times unlike our own President Bush who stole the election not once but twice

"Cindy Sheehan packs church"

More editorializing in headlines from the DeadStream Media.

-- yawn --

A scant 250 people "packs" a political meeting, er......"church". (??)

Gee, where I attend Mass, that's the minimum attendance on a summer holiday weekend when everyone is out of town. And that's to hear the boring, old message of Christ's magnificent sacrifice for our redemption, instead of the hip, exciting agitprop of hangdog, sad Mother S.

You know, IMHO, this is where she belongs. Churches do often encourage the role of the 'pacifist.' It think it's totally appropriate.

I see you don't know much about the Unitarians. They are a "church" about like the Mexicans who are in this country illegally are Americans.

It was a misleading headline, to say the Church was packed. I looked on the church site, and they say the Church holds 500. The Newspaper said there were 250 in attendance....HALF PACKED.. and Half Baked.

This historic 1809 Unitarian Meeting House is an ideal location for weddings of all sizes. Its gracious, rose-upholstered pews seat up to 500http://www.unitarianchurchnantucket.org/weddinginfo.htm

Looking up info on this Samuel Dangremond. Seems he has had a run in with peace activist before...if this is the same Samuel Dagnremond. http://www.academia.org/campus_reports/2001/dec_2001_5.html
Tufts University refused to pursue assault charges against three students who attacked junior Sam Dangremond for expressing patriotic views. The assailants ironically belonged to a left-wing student group, the Coalition for Social Justice and Nonviolence.

A long held tradition for generations of students at Tufts University has been painting the cannon in the main quad. Students decorate the reproduction of a cannon from the U.S.S. Constitution with symbols and phrases. But when Sam Dangremond painted the American flag on the cannon, he crossed the line into political incorrectness.

Dangremond is the editor-in-chief of The Primary Source, the conservative magazine at Tufts University. On the evening of October 1, he painted an American flag and the phrases, "God bless America" and "liberty and justice for all" on the cannon to honor those killed on September 11. An angry student shouted at him, "You better be guarding tonight. We're going to get you and it's going to be good." As is tradition at the Medford, Massachusetts school, Dangremond camped out by the cannon overnight. "It's a tradition in the sense that staying the night up there is a symbolic act of dedication to whatever you've painted on the cannon," he told Campus Report.

At 5:00 am the next morning while he was in his sleeping bag, Dangremond was attacked by three assailants in hooded sweatshirts and bandanas over their faces. Two of them wrestled him to the ground and held him down, while a third painted over the cannon's patriotic symbols, writing, "Violence has no peace."

Once Dangremond was able to free himself, he called the Tufts Police Department. The police found the three aggressors, Tufts seniors Adam Carlis, Lou Esparza, and Liz Monnin, still by the cannon. They are all members of the student group, the Coalition for Social Justice and Nonviolence, and worked for the left wing Tufts newspaper the Radix. The attackers admitted to the police that they had restrained Dangremond. They were not taken into custody, but Dangremond did file assault charges against them. The attackers in turn filed assault charges against Dangremond, claiming that he had attacked them.

The attackers' student group, the Coalition for Social Justice and Nonviolence distributed an e-mail stating, "Some of our Coalition members were assaulted although the charges are being brought upon them." They did not explain why their members wore bandanas covering their faces or why they made threats the previous evening.

the Unitarian Universalist Church

Tells me all I need to know. I guess the Druids had already rented out THEIR hall for the Saturnalia, so Cindy was forced to select an alternate venue ...
