Congrats to your brother...Posted by Anne Beltestad on October 19, 2001 at 14:33:53: In reply to: brainstorming for design ideas -- brother's getting ordained (Unitarian) posted by CorasMama on October 19, 2001 at 02:27:29: My parents are UU, in the SF Bay Area, and it's a nice group offolks. I know that their congregation has lots of different people...pagan, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Agnostic, "lapsed Catholic" like my dad, "lapsed Protestant"/Deist like my mom...why not incorporate symbology from whatever your family background is (or what you claim from it) and the UU symbol of the chalice and the flame? When I was a kid in UU they had an Ankh, but my parents moved to a more conservative church for a while and I don't know when they changed it. Their church uses a lot of tree imagery, the chalice with the flame above it, and yes, sometimes even a pentacle! And why not henna him while you're at it, in recognition of his special day? Obviously I don't know what your brother likes, but a symbol on its own in the palm of the hand would be a nice way for him to carry the energy of the day...and you could even do it after the event. Good luck! Anne Beltestad www.techinthehood.com/hennabyanne : Ok, so my brother's getting ordained next weekend. He's a Unitarian : Universalist minister. (The UUs are very intellectual, free folks. : My brother doesn't even believe in G/god, and I'm a pagan, but there : are also some very liberal christians, secular humanists, and : agnostics in the UU church.) He wants to see a henna design on me, : and so I want to think of something appropriate. Any body got any : ideas? : : BTW, if you are unfamiliar with the UU church, the link is below : : Thanks
