  • I am feeling so much grief about the oil crisis–and I know I’m not the only one. My heart aches for the land… the people… the workers (from the rig and those cleaning up)… the entire ecosystem… the Creator and Life-Giver… and everyone directly and indirectly dependent on the Gulf of Mexico. And the question…

  • Just a quick thought for a Monday morning… Why is it that the millions that protested the Iraq Conflict peacefully for years were virtually ignored by the press and totally ignored by Washington while today’s ‘protesters’, hundreds of angry and abusive anti-tax protesters, are media darlings and have Congress cow-towing to them?

  • Today, so much is expected out of bishops, that they aren’t able to do any of those things.

  • If we are to listen to the media coverage surrounding The Episcopal Church, one would think that there aren’t any conservatives left. Man, are they wrong!

  • The Archbishop’s tortured logic places guilt squarely on the victim once again.

  • Our habit is to argue over the form and politics of our faith, but, as the question raised by the chicken and the egg might suggest, aren’t we looking in the wrong spot for assurance?
