A sermon from the HUV-B
Thursday, 30 December 2004 11:57 A GMT-06
From Godspy:"Because the Lord, the High God, has taken the same path as [the shepherds] have: he has left his glory behind him and gone into the dark world, into the child's apparent insignificance, into the unfreedom of human restrictions and

Merry Christmas
Tuesday, 28 December 2004 5:11 P GMT-06
This quote from St. Augustine is from my prayer book, but I don't know its source. The "who has been made" language made me think what? But perhaps it echoes the "Word made flesh" in referring to Jesus' physical body, kind of
On vacation
Tuesday, 21 December 2004 9:43 A GMT-06
We're on vacation in NY/NJ/PA. We attended my cousin's wedding on Saturday and went into Manhattan on Sunday. Another cousin of mine recommended we go to Chumley's in Greenwich Village, which used to be a speakeasy way back in the day and still h
Way down in the hole

In honor of The Wire, whose season finale is this Sunday (and which I will miss because I'll be on vacation) and its writers, who truly shocked me last week with the demise of a certain someone (spoiler!) I give you their theme song:Way Down In The H
Mary and the scandal of particularity
Sunday, 12 December 2004 3:52 P GMT-06
From the Christian Century's cover story on Mary (which is not yet online):"As Catholic theologian Lawrence Cunningham puts it, there is an "almost outrageous particularity" about saying that God's presence in the world is localized in
A little bit of blogging
Thursday, 9 December 2004 10:09 P GMT-06
I'm in the middle of a huge project at work, working twelve hour days for the next two weeks, etc. etc. so posting will be light to non-existent for a while. Prayer for the second week of Advent (now that it's almost over):Merciful God, who sent yo

Friday Round-Up, the serious stuff
Friday, 3 December 2004 11:24 A GMT-06
I made the assertion in my previous blog that the sacraments were political, and kind of left it at that, but Keith and Lee show why.Mark blogs on the UCC ad controversy.Doctors killing babies in the Netherlands, via Amy Welborn (and Hugo and Lee.)
World AIDS Day

Lots of links via The United Methodist Church's site. The 2004 focus is "Have You Heard Me Today? Women, Girls, HIV and AIDS."
Sectarians vs. Realists: The Return of the Sectarians!
Wednesday, 1 December 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Lee reminds me that I promised to reply more fully to his blog and links to an article by Robert Benne, which is supposed to be a contrarian view but feels to me like a good summary of the "Neo-Augustinian" position with a reminder to not f
