Stuff for Seminarians
|
There are a lot of resources out on the web that are useful for UU seminarians.
As is normal for the web, however, the problem lies in finding the sites.
What I have tried to do here is to create a list of web sites that UU seminarians
might find helpful. If you know of any sites that should be added to this list, please
contact me.
Additionally, I recommend you subscribe to the UUMINS2B mailing list hosted by the UUA.
Information about this list is here.
It is not a heavy volume list at all.
