EAR Presiding Bishop,
As are many, I’m sure, I’m saddened by the departure of several bishops and clergy (and laity) from the fellowship of the Episcopal Church. I’m guessing we’ve not heard the end of this: there’s sorting out of the property and pensions and what all. Personally, I wish you’d let them go [...]

ELP… My First Diocesan Convention is under my belt. I learned rather a lot: we did nothing, actually, but the politics of the situation is important.

NLY RECENTLY have the liberals in ECUSA began to cover up their actions. I remember one priest insisting that the vast majority of clergy serve the BCP Liturgy exactly by the rubrics. To which I replied I’d never been to even *one* service that was so. Not one - in 25 years. [...]

ODAY’S Bad Marketing Decision: The Episcopal Church has decided to name General Convention 09 after a build of Linux.
Paul Fromberg (of my former St Gregory of Nyssa Parish in SF) designed the cool logo.

HIS MEME Is moving through the Presbyterian Blogs. It’s currently filling up my ecumenical/emergent RSS feed. It was started by the moderator of PC(USA), Bruce Reyes-Chow in his own blog. When your Primus Inter Pares gets her own blog, then you’re using the internet.

ODAY’S Readings in my RSS are filled with an odd counterpoint: on the one hand there are the Lambeth Bishops. The officially scoured and spun blog from 815-land. There are on-going Episcopal contributions such as Bp Alan and there are newbies to the fold such as Bp Porter.
