Apparently I created this blog in 2018. I have a vague memory of spending longer than really made sense debating what to call it, and considerably less time than I intended actually posting on it. I was busy studying for ministry, immersed in a placement and my academic work. I shared one hymn I'd written, which I still rather like (see the post below) and then disappeared for a year.
I qualified in ministry with Unitarian College in September 2020 (yes, I had my valediction service in the middle of the pandemic, yes, it was strange) and started working part time with York Unitarians, then added Bradford Unitarians into the mix. Somewhere along the way I found time to post one more on this blog, this time some ramblings about potatoes. No, I don't know, either! I've deleted that one.
I'm back now because having moved to a ministry closer to home (and spent a bit of time in the interim visiting other congregations) I wanted somewhere to put a few links to useful things for people who want to know about Unitarianism, from my own personal perspective.
Obviously a useful starting point is the national Unitarian website https://www.unitarian.org.uk/ but there's so much more!
Not all Unitarians know that we have a national magazine, the Inquirer - not an official 'voice from above' but an independent publication produced by Unitarians for Unitarians which showcases the best of British Unitarianism today - at least we (yes, I'm a Board member) think it does. And if your favourite chapel/project/resource is missing, why not write to us about it? We welcome contributions!
And there are lots more resources out there. Check back soon(ish) for some thoughts about one of my favourite Unitarian creations - Hucklow Summer School.
