*This entry adapts the introduction to my new book: Clueless: My Education in White Supremacy. If you find this intriguing and want to know more, the book is available as a paperback and also e-edition on amazon. In 1967, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King wrote, “Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in […] The post Thoughts on “Reeducating Ourselves”* appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

*Note: This is a guest post, written by a trusted colleague who prefers to remain anonymous because the cult who refer to themselves as “Gadflies” have been known to attack ministers who disagree with them. They have even succeeded forcing some to resign. That alone should pretty well indicate who we’re dealing with. I have […] The post Understanding “Gadflies” as GA Approaches* appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

My latest book, Ahnungslosigkeit: the Education of a Clueless White Man, will not be published till late this summer. In the meantime, here is a “sneak preview” of the Epilogue. (Now you don’t even have to buy the book to see what I’m driving at. How cool is that?)

You can call it whatever you want, but for two hundred years, the Unitarian branch of our tradition, particularly, has floated in a sea of white supremacy culture. This should not surprise us, because white America in general has really only come to question its own racism during the last couple of generations.  Some of […] The post Two Hundred Years of Unitarian White Supremacy Culture* appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

  STARTING WITH THE THIRD ESSAY I begin with The Gadfly Papers’ final essay because it is the most openly deceptive. Author Todd Eklof titles it, “Let’s be Reasonable,” and calls it “A Rational Frame Regarding Charges of Racism and White Supremacy within the Unitarian Universalist Association.” The phraseology itself is suspect. Scientific studies of […] The post The Truth about The Gadfly Papers appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

I came of age in the 1960’s, a turbulent decade of civil rights struggle, the Vietnam War, mega-rock concerts, and also iconic assassinations: John and Robert Kennedy, and of course, Martin Luther King.  No less emblematic of the ’60’s was the folk music scene, the acknowledged queen and king of which were singer-songwriters Joan Baez […] The post Thoughts on Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and “Keeping Things Vague”* appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

Roman Catholic Bishop Roger Foys has officially pronounced Covington Catholic High School’s youth free of sin in last month’s dustup at the Lincoln Memorial. “We should not have allowed ourselves to be bullied and pressured into making a statement prematurely,” he says of earlier comments, based on a short video of Covington boys apparently mocking […] The post Thoughts on Hurtful Hats appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

I have two disabilities. One is minor, the other substantial but also invisible. My minor disability is extreme sensitivity to light. I can’t go outside on a sunny day or even use my laptop, watch television, or even attend a college basketball game without sunglasses.

Over the years, when I’ve been part of a functional worship “team,” my need to prepare Worship well ahead of time has never been a problem. At UUMA Heartland Chapter Retreats, where I was long-time Worship Coordinator, we sometimes did collaborative Worship. We would discuss it beforehand, along with any music I might present. Everyone […] The post A Question of Process: PTSD and BTC: part 2 appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

Part of my mind truly yearned to go forward with Beyond the Call when Don Southworth called me. There were rich and productive aspects to the program, and people I had grown to care for. I wanted good relationships with my Peer Group. At the same time, my dread at even being around my Peers […] The post A Question of Process: PTSD and BTC part 3 appeared first on Dennis McCarty.

Many years ago I took a year away from my ministerial preparation at Meadville Lombard Theological School, to do a chaplain residency at a teaching hospital on Chicago’s far north side.

When we close out our reflective time together and return to the wider world, may each of us carry with us a piece of what we gathered. Be it a smile, a piece of a song, a fractal from the warm glow we share–each tiny spark grows greater through sharing.

One Irony of the Unitarian side of Unitarian Universalist history, is that we’re structurally descended from New England’s Puritans. As English followers of the notoriously hard-core John Calvin, the Puritans were famously straight-laced. At first blush it would seem strange that Congregationalists, Unitarians, and others among America’s most liberal traditions, trace our lineage to Calvin.
