Christ is Risen!

Be Poets of the Logos!
Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus. I am ordained in the Independent Sacramental Movement, serving under the omophor of Bp Craig of the Universal Anglican Church. We are founding a mission here in Buffalo. You can email me at "arkouda" at this domain.

Disclaimer

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

God, it’s him. Again.

New Theme’s Done!

KILEY DOKILEY! The new theme is done. It’s a serious tweak of the Atahualpa theme – a rather fabulous theme with a metric tonne of options available for the user to set. Those of you familiar with my old blog design, I’ve sought to recreate as much of it as I like [...]

What is Christian?

O WE WERE Sipping tea in the church, a clergy friend and I, relaxing in that most Orthodox of fashion: making Eucharist and fellowship with our ginger beer and crisps after a really smashing pot luck. We were discussing “What makes it Christian community” – that is a church or a meal or whatever. [...]

Available from the Bethleham Bible College, this altar set follows the ancient canons of not using "vessels of gold". Other canons, of course, state exactly the reverse. Sign me up for confusion: this ain’t no organised religion!
I picked this set up in Kensington Market, Toronto.
