Oscar Wilde got it. His last words, as he lay in his sickbed, were, “Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.” So to did the Roman Emperor Vespasian. Believing that emperors became divine after death, he came up this this as he breathed his last: “Oh dear, I think I’m becoming a god.” That’s the […]
I want to use my column this week to tell you about some extra security that the vestry will be providing very soon. Some parishioners will remember that a couple of years ago we undertook a detailed study into the security of our campus. Personnel from the Montgomery Police Department and the Department of Homeland […]
Sometimes I’m glad to be an Episcopalian… Wait… That sounded grudging… Let me try again… Nearly all the time I’m glad to be an Episcopalian… There… That sounds better. Today I’m happy with my choice of church for this reason – our tradition likes art. Think about that. Music? Love it. Poetry? You bet. Dancing? […]
“I’m glad he’s on our side and not theirs. With him we may have a chance of winning. Now I feel confident about our chances. We will avoid humiliation; hey, we may even be champions with him on our side.” I’m sure you’ve said this sort of thing when talking about sports with a friend. […]
Want to know my favorite thing to come out of the Digital Revolution? Audiobooks. That’s what. I wish they’d been around when I was a kid. I found reading very hard when I was young. Actually, the reading itself wasn’t that difficult, it was finding the discipline to do it that I found so challenging. […]
If you caught Mark’s sermon last Sunday you will have had your curiosity poked by a reference he made to a pair of speakers we enjoyed at the Diocesan Convention. They were Jim Davis and Michael Graham, two church leaders from Orlando, who recently undertook a groundbreaking study into who is leaving the American Church […]
I’m glad my kids are grown. Seriously. When I raised them we had no smartphones. We didn’t even have a PC until they were in primary school. In those days AOL provided our Internet at devastatingly low speeds. Those were the good old days – when it took five minutes to download a single grainy […]
I’ve been reading a book by an atheist. I won’t tell you his name or the title of the book because I don’t want to distract you from that first sentence. Let it sink in. I read a book by an atheist. It’s important to read the opinions of people you don’t agree with. One […]
Last week my car went the way of all reasonably-priced compact sedans. For fifteen long years it had done its job reliably, if a little boringly. Fifteen years. A good long life for a dog, and better than average for a Honda Civic. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; if the engine don’t get you, […]
One of the things I enjoyed most when I migrated to the U.S. with my three children was the new pattern of holidays. We loved the winter because of Martin Luther King Day and President’s Day, neither of which they have in the UK. Then there was the summer. My kids couldn’t believe their good […]
