If God can destroy New Orleans, just think what he can do to your Church!
As the Globe and Mail reports, God has Spoken: only Gregorian chant, damnit! The floor opened right up and swallowed them. Just like in Numbers 16:30!

A friend of mine laments relying on his clergy job for money to survive. I’d love to be in his position (even after all the horror stories he’s told me - and those that I’ve heard from others).
As I start to settle in to Buffalo - finding a permanent job, a place [...]

A good holiday to those who celebrate the Quartodeciman Feast of the Resurrection tonight - and/or last night! Christ is Risen!

Since moving to Buffalo, I’ve had the time - and the sleeping schedule - to rededicate myself to trying to pray on a regular basis.
I love the Western Offices - I’ve been using my Monastic Diurnal. The tradition of reciting large parts of the psalms every day is wonderfully edifying. But [...]

One of my favourite spiritual writers when I was living in NYC was James Redfield. You might know this name from his spiritual-adventure book The Celestine Prophecy. The concepts in the book - the “Celestine Insights” - are a sort of “deep” ecumenism in that I think they pretty much fit all traditions [...]

I was having one of those “spiritual but not religious” conversations with a fellow Buffaloan and we were discussing Shinto, one of my favourite topics. What I noted was:
In Shinto, a person walking the path sees an especially beautiful (holy) tree or amazing mountain view and, giving thanks to the spiritual presence he feels [...]

It’s been a day of Stonehenge news, oddly. Stonehenge - and the other Great Works of Britain - are a fascination of mine. They are a testament to mans ideas of the sacred, I think - as evolving and yet constantly present through time.
The BBC has this really wonderful video, an animated history [...]

Half the World is in a religious, springtime party today. I’d up it a bit - because most of the world’s primitive cultures observe the original holiday: equinox. (Let’s not forget Bach’s birthday…)
A Blessed Day!

If you like Chinese classical music, this page of Taoist Music may be of interest to you. There’s nearly an hour of music to DL on that page, free, as well as lots of information on Taoism, from the Taoist Culture and Information Centre (in Hong Kong).

The RE:Jesus blog makes a post that mixes common Christian piety with just a little bit of Triumphalism and lack of knowledge of Hebrew and Judaism. (I’m torn as to how to classify this because while RE:Jesus is an emergent blog, the claim they make has been heard by me in Orthodox, Catholic, Methodist [...]
