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 […]
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 […]
First, let me reassure you that I did not join the millions of people who watched a 58-year-old Mike Tyson box a YouTube influencer half his age on Netflix last week. It smacked (or punched) too much of what is wrong with our culture … self-promotion, celebrities, stupid wads of money, and fake entertainment – […]
Wonder, Love and Praise As I write this, the halls outside my office are filled with the sounds of children’s voices of varying pitches and tones. This is Vacation Bible School week, and I love VBS! Honestly, beyond supporting the staff and the volunteers, my role is almost non-existent which allows me to watch […]
Memorial Day If I was speaking to a group of young people in a room who were interested in military service, I would be compelled to tell them, “You are more statistically likely to die by suicide as an active duty member or military veteran, than you are likely to be killed in combat.” […]
Pentecost by John Birch When was the last time that we heard the wind of your Spirit roar through this place? When was the last time your fire lit up this room? When was the last time we took you at your word and met together in expectation of your Spirit filling this place, […]
