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 [...]

The Right Wing in England is all in a lather. Ruth’s certainly playing the race card calling the Archbishop of Canterbury “Bonkers” and showing rather horrifying (and perhaps Photoshoped) pictures of Muslim Extremists.
Why?
well, here’s a interview with the Archbishop:
Christopher Landau (BBC) asks: To begin with you’ve given this vision of if [...]

From over on my LJ Friends list, my buddy Zac (whom I’ve know for like, ever) asks questions of everyone on his friends list. It’s a fun meme idea, but I don’t use my LJ save to keep track of people. So don’t expect me to pass the meme along.
Here’s my question:
