Changing Language, Changing Music [Musing from the Music Mouse]

by UUFH

Love of language is one common thread that tends to hold Unitarian Universalists together. Members of this faith community pay attention to language, and to the ways in which it is used. As cultures change, so do languages. People express joy, hope, disappointment, sorrow, happiness, and attach great importance to how these emotions are demonstrated. […]

Meet Linda Mallory [Getting to Know Our New UUs]

by UUFH

I live near Etowah in the Crystal Heights neighborhood with my husband of 29 years, Joe, and our 26-year-old son, Luke. We moved here over five years ago when Joe’s company relocated to Fletcher. I recently retired from teaching Deaf and Hearing-Impaired students in public education but continue working in my field with local school […]

Meet Claudia Boozer Short [Getting to Know Our New UUs]

by UUFH

In a way, I feel as if I have “come back home.” My formative years were in Raleigh in the 1960’s; my parents retired to Hendersonville in the 1990’s and were active in UUFH. My husband, Mike Short, and I have recently moved to Hendersonville from New Hampshire. We are now “snow birds,” living our […]

Less Income Inequality, More Opportunity [President’s Message]

by UUFH

As if beer drinkers needed further motivation to enjoy craft beer, doing so is moving money from Wall Street to Main Street and helping the middle class. I read an article this week that small breweries’ share of the market doubled from 6% to 12%, while overall beer consumption remained flat in the five-year period […]

Ethical Eating Tips

by UUFH

“Ethical Eating” may help us think about other ways we can be “ethical” in our lives. One of these is by using only cruelty-free products. These include products such as cosmetics, shampoo, hair products, baby products, perfumes, and more that have been manufactured without killing innocent animals. If you’re interested in information about cruelty-free products, visit www.crueltyfreekitty.com. […]

Tribalism, Empathy, and Compassion [President’s Message]

by UUFH

Even a polite proposal to establish immigration quotas based on country of origin is to suggest an immigration system that was abolished in 1965 as part of the civil rights movement. Of course, Trump’s proposal wasn’t remotely polite, and I truly feel sorry for anybody who fits Trump’s claim that he’s the least racist person […]
