My ten favorite entries of 2004.

by Philocrites

In chronological order (although I'm going to cheat and treat a few related posts as individual entries):

• "Guide to UU blogs" — the most useful entry of the year, frequently updated. (1.3.04)

• "Questions the UUA Principles don't answer" (2.6.04), "Do Unitarian Universalists have morals?" (7.14.04), and "Credo: A first draft" (9.18.04) — some personal theology!

• "Happy birthday, Bach!" — my favorite personal essay of the year. (3.21.04)

• "We have no position. Yet" and "In praise of strategic thinking" — my two-part post on polyamory and the Unitarian Universalist Association, which also turned into the most-commented-on post of the year. (4.29.04)

• "Sociopastoralism." What's wrong with Joys & Concerns. (5.14.04)

• "Resisting stem cell utopianism." A few thoughts on the differences between fetuses and human beings. (9.14.04)

• "Beware 'Old Testament' comparisons." Against liberal self-aggrandizement. (9.23.04)

• "Cape Cod's scaaary Unitarian Universalists." Unfortunately for conservative Christians, liberalism is much broader and much deeper than "creeping Unitarian Universalism." (10.18.04)

• "Banishing faith from politics? Good luck!" An argument for theological criticism of politics. (10.24.04)

• "Liberalism reframed." Guest blogger Jake provides better post-election analysis than I do! (11.4.04)

• "Democrats need some 'thick we's.'" The left should go to church. (12.12.04)

How interesting that I didn't write anything interesting over the summer. My brain apparently still follows the academic calendar.
