Tomorrow is Bastille Day. We Americans don’t take much notice of that these days, but once there was a time when we did. Once was the time, especially as the storm clouds of World War II were gathering over us, when school children and working folk alike [...] Categories: Human Rights
July 4 weekend! Now this is a holiday! We won’t have another one until Labor Day, but that doesn’t even matter right now. What matters is that this is the last day of a glorious three days of blessed interruption. Thank goodness for all such favors. I [...] Categories: Elections

In the days of my childhood, summer was the season of the big-tent revivals. More than any other of the myriad things that summer could be and was, it was the revivals that were for me the major descriptor of what a complete and proper summer was. This rather [...] Categories: Music

Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox and, with its coming, summer officially ends. I have greatly enjoyed these “Summer Sundays” postings and, even more, the letters and e-mails that have resulted. I’ll be moving, 5 October 2008, to explorefaith.net, where I’ll…
Once upon a time there was a house…
I am going to preach this morning. Actually, in all probability I will be preaching by the time you read this. I will not be away from home in some alien pulpit, though, but at home in my own parish and among those whom I love. I won’t preach, of course, [...]
Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra, Florida, is the kind of church every pastor, rector, or preacher dreams of. It’s got children running about everywhere. It’s building yet another parking lot for reasons that are [...]
I’m not much for talismans or religious tokens in the usual sense of those things. I wear around my neck every day of my life a chain with four emblems or medals on it. One is a Celtic cross given me on my 65th birthday by my favorite college chum from more than a half-century ago. One is [...]
