Judas communion

I'm being very opinionated over at Neotheologue's blog, and he's kind to put up with me. There was an article in the Washington Post about various practices of communion and he posted on it. Another commentator said there isn't a wrong or right w

The Christian Century has redesigned its website and made more of its articles available online. I'm going to put them under my Good Reading category, but only because a new friend of mine and fellow Blue Devil works there now, as an editor and wri

"Our Lord is greatly cheered by our prayer. He looks for it, and he wants it. By his grace he aims to make us as like himself in heart as we are already in our human nature. This is his blessed will. So he says, 'Pray inwardly, even if y
