I am assuming which may make and ass of you and me that you mean First Unitarian because I download Scott and Kaaren and Jen's sermons in podcast form and they usually are pretty good.<BR/><BR/>Have you noticed that Jennifer Crowe has picked up Scott's cadence and delivery style? It is interesting how she has copied him. I don't know if this is conscious and intentional or unconscious but it is kind of spooky really.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I agree, their preaching is pretty good and their church, as you probably know, has grown further since they have been there. It kind of reminds me of Yogi Berra's comment about a certain restaurant, "People don't go there any more because it is so crowed."<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the comments and all the best in 2009,<BR/><BR/>David MarkhamDavid G.

I concur...<BR/><BR/>I found you through PeaceBang and your comments on Boston UU. I"m sorry that you aren't finding uplifting preaching at your usual place of worship (I presume...) If you're willing to travel a bit, I strongly recommend Patrick Thomas Aquinas O'Neill -- a strong Unitarian Universalist name if ever I heard one! -- at the First Unitarian Church of Brooklyn, NY. He is a truth-teller with a big heart.<BR/><BR/>And if you wish to travel farther afield, no one beats Rob Hardies at All Souls in Washington, DC for power and message. He is a deeply spiritual man.<BR/><BR/>Just a few thoughts from a UU minister who knows a good preacher when she hears one...Berrysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209763327019181639noreply@blogger.com
