The Episcopal Church Welcomes You! Karen and I are Episcopalian, and attend St. Andrew's Cathedral in Jackson, Miss. I began visiting the Episcopal church in about 1999, and Karen and I started Catechumen classes in the fall of 2002. We were confirmed in 2003. A lot of you may not be familiar with the Episcopal church - I know I didn't much about it before I started investigating. Hey, you might like it too! Peek Through The Window of the Episcopal Church. St Andrew's Cathedral's web site - my church!

Wednesday, March 31, 2004. Jesus Before Christianity, Chapter One. Our system exploits and pollutes our world. It doesn't enable us to manage overpopulation and distribute resources. It promotes an ever-increasing spiral of violence. The problem is that our system is focused on profits, not people. Hasn't the collected wisdom of the ages told us that the love of money is the root of all evil? Even worse, according to Nolan, we have a hard time changing the system because. Para; 10:18 AM. Para; 9:00 AM.

Thursday, January 15, 2004. I'm still processing the aftermath of the Robinson Ordination. Several people have said that by approving his ordination we have abandoned 'via media.' This is silly. 'Via Media' is not a weapon, it is a process. To say that we didn't talk about the ordination is just a plain and simple lie. There was plenty of discussion. Para; 8:19 AM. I write speculative fiction. I code. I play classical guitar. I am a life-long Episcopalian. View my complete profile.

Monday, July 28, 2003. Para; 9:38 PM. Thursday, July 24, 2003. When does 'tough love' turn into 'hardness of heart'? Because they think they are showing "Tough Love" for a sinner. I think they are being cold and heartless, showing 'hardness of heart' more than anything else. I also find it odd that most of the Schism churches from the Anglican Communion have all kept "to bring all of the world into unity under Christ" in their core values. Para; 9:08 PM. Thursday, July 03, 2003. When people are broken th...

Monday, August 30, 2004. Jack T. Chick and the Bible. Sometimes I enjoy tweaking my riteous indignation muscles. I started searching for a cure for hiccups, and I found a very good one, but it was hosted by some sort of über-Roman Catholic, so I investigated a few links and became thoroughly offended. Our own Biblical Scholars can't agree on who's accurate and whose inaccurate. I figure it's best to read the Bible and try to figure it out for yourself. Para; 4:36 PM. View my complete profile.

Tuesday, December 21, 2004. The Catholic League's William Donahue is obsessed with anal sex. From the CATHOLIC LEAGUE for Religious and Civil Rights. Catholic League president William Donohue concludes: Not to include any disrespectful holiday cards for Jews and African Americans does violence to the multicultural virtue of inclusion. How did this happen? Para; 12:03 PM. Tuesday, December 14, 2004. Rev 1:9-20 A Vision of Christ. John describes his situation on Patmos and states "I was in the spirit on th...

Friday, January 28, 2005. Is pretty savvy to take something hateful and turn it into an invitation. I might go and visit one of their churches one day. I'm sure SpongeBob would be welcome in the Epsicopal Church as well. I know I've seen enough kids with SpongeBob shirts and what not around the child care area. This of course is in reaction to James Dobson's hateful message about SpongBob "encouraging the idea that homosexuality is not the work of Satan.". Who does the raping around here? Para; 11:26 AM.

Sunday, February 29, 2004. The Word of God. As the sermon today went: "Lent is a time to strip away the things that separate us from God.". Para; 3:48 PM. Is God the only one who can save us? Are dependant upon God alone for salvation? Spong states that we don't need rescuing, we need empowerment. Can we save ourselves and present ourselves to God and say "Glory be to you, Almighty Creator! I have purified myself and come to give you thanks and praise! Can we say this? No God would not intervene directly...

Sunday, March 23, 2003. Todays sermon was interesting. If focused on the Weakness of God that saves us. It's not a phrase we think about: The weakness of God. It's right there in 1 Corinthians 1:25:. For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. Para; 4:53 PM. Cutting Edge Theology is a bit hard to explain. It involves approaching spirituality through the Head and works to understand how Scripture, Reason, and Tradition apply to Today's issues.

Wednesday, June 09, 2004. I can get a glimpse of God, Goodness, Truth, Beauty, Evil, etc., but can I fully understand any of them? Not broken. We need to reunite with God. We do that by following the examples and teaching of those people who we beleive have found their completeness in God. As Christians we look to Jesus of Nazareth. Para; 10:50 AM. Wednesday, June 02, 2004. Notes from the Catechism. Does this mean that our definition of God as omnibenevolent fails? Para; 8:22 AM. View my complete profile.
