Following a Calling: The unexpected road to semi-professional Unitarian Universalism
Hi there. My name is Thomas Earthman and I run the I Am UU Facebook page, Twitter account, and this website. I make a small amount of money doing so, though a lot of what is raised goes into software fees, hosting costs, and other business expenses for the project. I never wanted to be […]
Facebook is down, and it’s a surprisingly real problem…
Facebook is down, and for most of our audience, that means they won’t know we posted this. We’ve asked people to subscribe to the blog by email and we encourage people to follow us on Twitter and/or Tumblr. We do that because we are all far too reliant on Facebook and it’s whims. I post […]

Five Thousand Unitarian Universalists Walk Into a Facebook Page…
There is no punchline to that, but it is a heck of a set up, because it is hard to believe. For a project focused on Unitarian Universalism, and saying things that a lot of UUs don’t particularly care for, we’ve garnered over 10% of the likes that the UUA has, and the number of […]
We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties
The I Am UU project is in a bind, and we need your help. The short explanation is that we’ve had a computer fail at the worst time. It means that we will be publishing fewer new images and blog posts, though we are working to make sure that the Monday Meditation posts are ready […]
5 Years In, and So Much Left to Do.
The I Am UU project is coming up on its 5th anniversary.So much has changed in that time, both for me personally and for the project. As it has grown, I have seen myself move from being just a blogger and passionate UU evangelist to more of a religious educator and community leader. I have […]
