Happy St. Andrew’s

Andrew is not the most well-known Apostle.

However, he was the first disciple of Jesus Christ.  He was also the brother of Simon who later became St. Peter, the Rock of the Church.  In fact, it was Andrew who introduced Simon to Jesus.

Andrew was also a fisherman (as was Simon Peter) and it was through interaction with him that Jesus first became associated with the fish, one of the earliest symbols of Christianity.

It is fitting, then, that the Feast of St. Andrew also be the Eve of Advent, in anticipation of the first idiomatically Christian season of the AUR calendar, Christmas!

On St. Andrew’s Day, let’s look forward to the Season.  (And, do something nice for your siblings!)

AUR Soars on Palm Sunday’s Idiomatic Creed Homily

After taking a brief dip during February, the American Unitarian Reform zoomed to over twice its normal readership in March!

Most of the gains were due to the Palm Sunday homily explaining how Reform Unitarianism’s idiomatic (rather than dogmatic) creedalism clarifies the purpose of religion and allows us to see the good and truth in other religions. 

However, there was also significant interest in the homilies on homosexuality, the history of Unitarian Universalism, and the ancient origin of celibacy, authoritarianism, Trinitarianism, and sectarian hostility.

We would like to thank the readers who took the time to read our homilies, and especially those who shared them on Facebook, Twitter, and by email.

God bless!
