As the US celebrates the life and liberatory ministry of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, we note that King’s liberation theology called him, time and again, to be on the side of the oppressed. To find ways of being in solidarity with those who suffered not only from racism, but also from militarism and … Continue reading Dr. King’s Liberation Theology
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the gentiles do the same?" (Matthew 5:43-47)On this day, January 15, in 1929, Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta. He went to Atlanta’s Morehouse College, and got a BA at age 19. Then: Crozer Theological Se...

Note: I have posted this in one form or another on or around the Martin Luther King Day Federal Holiday for 14 years. Long time readers may be sick of it. Some of those who were offended in earlier rounds have left the building in a huff—or come to see that maybe it was not so far off the mark after all. The thing is, year by year, it becomes more relevant. Today is the Federal Holiday celebrating the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. He was born on January 15, 1929 and was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis,Tennessee. It was a long, hard fought effort to create a federal holiday, following proclamations in several states. President Ronald Reagan signed the legislation creating the holiday in 1983 and it was first cel...
Drawing only 10 minutes or so means slow progress, but I’m enjoying myself, and the geometries that keep appearing in this structure the more time I spend with it.

I love the hymn, Freedom is Coming (#1035). Liberation can be articulated in in words, actions, and music. At a time when racial inequality is raging, there is a part of me that clings to the words, “Oh yes I know. Oh yes I know. Freedom is Coming.” With accents and fermatas in the music, … Continue reading So Long To Go

This past week, my beloved friend Estelle died. She had been living with her granddaughter Michele, and thankfully, she was at home with her family during her final days and hours.

“The Clearing” Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose. Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently, until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it. Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue. –Martha Postlethwaite Happy 2023, Beloveds, and welcome to 30 Days of Love, Side With Love’s annual month of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice! Having recently marked both the Winter Solstice and Gregorian New Year, this is a period of pause and contemplation – a time to reflect upon what has been, take stock of what is, and dream about what...
Note: Today is the actual birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The public Holiday in his honor will be tomorrow, Monday, January 16. I will have more to say about that then in my annual rant. Today I am resurrecting a post in which Dr. King reminds us himself how truly revolutionary he was. When the Reverend Martin Luther King , Jr. was being held in jail in Alabamain 1963 he received a letter signed by several well-known White self-proclaimed racial moderatesand liberal ministers who decried the unpleasantness and social disruption of the on-going campaign against racial discrimination in Birmingham. Since he had unaccustomed time on his hands he took the time to patiently, even lovingly explainthe situation in Am...
The Archbishop of Sydney complains that Paganism doesn’t bring fulfillment, communion, and transcendence. He’s wrong. We are moving toward a post-Christian world, and Paganism is particularly well-suited for this time… for those who want it.
Recently my thoughts have turned to the place of hell in Christian thought. Back in 2021 the Pew Research Center conducted a survey of American belief in heaven and hell. It found across denominations from Catholic to Pentecostal to Fundamentalist in the aggregate ninety-two percent of those who identify as Christian believe […]
In a Religion News Service interview with Adelle Banks, Lewis V. Baldwin, a scholar of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s works, makes the following point: “[Dr. King’s] legacy is being hijacked, misinterpreted. For an example, on the extreme right of the political spectrum, there are those who argue that Dr. King was opposed to affirmative … Continue reading "Distorting Martin Luther King’s legacy"

A short “ thought for the day” offered to the Cambridge Unitarian Church as part of the Sunday Service of Mindful Meditation (Click on this link to hear a recorded version of the following piece) —o0o— Last year I spent some time looking again at the work of the twentieth-century process philosopher Charles Hartshorne (1897-2000). Not least of all this was because I had become aware that he had seen how the most important sixteenth-century Unitarian theologian, Faustus Socinus (1539-1604), gifted our own Judaeo-Christian tradition with two fundamental insights that are central to Buddhism, namely, the idea that nothing exists independently of other things (pratītyasamutpāda) and the unreality of a permanent self/soul. ...
Major General Benedict Arnold, Continental Army. Note— This is an epically long post as befits the career and complexity of its subject. Pour yourself a favorite beverage and settle in for a read. If only he had died of his wounds after the Saratoga Campaign—or better yet, had completely recovered and not fallen for the wiles of a teenage temptress, or nursed the bitterness of a petty jealous grudge Benedict Arnold would be celebrated today as one of the greatest military heroes of the American Revolution on one hand or risen on that reputation to almost any political position he desired after the war, perhaps to the Presidency itself. But he threw it all away to die an un-trus...

In ancient Roman mythology, the month of January is named after the god Janus. He is the god not only of beginnings and endings, but also of the liminal spaces — the gates, transitions, and passages that are betwixt and between one thing ending and another beginning. As a visual manifestation of this duality, Janus […]

I’ve been a Beacon staff member and a publicity team member for seven and a half years! In that time, I’ve witnessed the rise of podcasts as legit and meaningful coverage for authors; the gradual expansion of book sections at major publications like the Washington Post and The Atlantic; and the ongoing growth of the indie book scene here in Boston. And, of course, my work and my life have changed since the onset of the pandemic nearly a full three years ago.

Friday the Thirteenth mumbo jumbo. I have never been superstitious and have often been condescending to those who are—cue Stevie Wonder . That is, of course, if you discount the two years in my boyhood when I carried a rabbit foot key chain in my jeans pockets until all the hair wore off and I was left with a weird, mummified paw with surprisingly sharp nails. But I outgrew that phase. Later in my militant atheist literally piss-on-churches youth I lumped religion with superstition and went around muttering about mystric-tristic bullshit . I rolled my eyes at my hippie friends who got into New Age crap—crystals and pyramids, Tarot , I Ching, and Ouija boards . These are the results you get when you cond...

John Hancock, the elegantly turned out young merchant, in 1765 by John Singleton Copely. John Hancock one of the most powerful and influential of the Founding Fathers who never became President, but just might have if he had lived longer. He was also one of if not the richest man of his time, a shrewd businessman who often skirted the law, and in his own way true celebrity of his age. But he also dedicated himself to elective public service on the local, state, and national level. No, Hancock did not sell insurance. Or teach penmanship. But the man with probably the most famous signature in American history was, however, a very successful and wealthy man who became a leading ...

Buffalo Bill Cody--still a handsome man in 1916. On January 10, 1917 a family gathered around the bed of a dying man in Denver, Colorado. His health had been failing for some time and he was in great pain from renal failure. His great mane of white hair was soaked with sweat. The day before a Catholic priest with whom he had become friendly was called to the bedside and the 70 year old allowed himself to be baptized into the church and receive the Last Rites . When the old plainsman , soldier , hunter , scout , and showman drew his last breath it was international news. Buffalo Bill was dead. Coincidently so was the man named William Fredric...

The Lucas Gusher at Spindletop Hill south of Beaumont, Texas in 1901. Photo by John Trost. On January 10, 1901 after almost nine years of poking useless holesinto a salt dome formation near Beaumont, Texas in the southeast corner of the state near the Louisiana line and Gulf Coast some nearly busted and discouraged wildcatters watched in amazement as oil geysered 150 feet in the air from a well head at a rate of 100,000 barrels per day. It took nine days before the well was brought under control.
