Thanks for sharing this! Though I wish she'd addressed atheism in UUism more directly, I really like her analysis.

Ditto. Interesting, but I didn't get the random bullet points. Those sound like her theology, not UU. I certainly don't believe in God and I consider myself among the devouut ;)

A few people have taken exception to her "we believe in the unity of God" statements, but otherwise, it seems a pretty positive reflection on UUism.

I try to avoid the word "theology" unless I'm talking about gods, since theology literally means "the study of god". I prefer "sophiology", the study of wisdom. Or even "philosophy", the love of wisdom. To the ancient Romans a philosopher was someone who lived in accordance with a school of thought, not someone who studies ideas in an academic manner.

"Theology" is definitely a tricky word, no doubt.
