HILE there are some who imagine the vastness of the universe implies the un-truth of the Christian Gospel, I rather like CS Lewis’ science fiction writing on this matter: Earth is the one planet with life that is out of sync. Decades later, we are finding other planets and they may have life, but are [...]

Are you the one to build me a house to live in? I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about among all the people [...]

s the current series winds down (I need only to add a conclusion) I’ve decided to add the previous series into it. The Invitation to communion (“With Faith and Love Draw Near!”) as well as the most recent post on Bible Reading as Tarot Reading, seems to me to be a full set with this [...]

Continuing our series on “The Big Three”, Trinity, Incarnation and Eucharist. The Menu for the entire series is there in the sidebar. The first posts went “inward” on this Journey, from Eucharist to Incarnation to Trinity. Now we go the other way – outward… When Jesus said that we are to Love God and our [...]

This is eternally precious to us, because we too live ordinary lives, and the fact that the Lord lived such a life, sanctifies everything: from the difficulty, [...]

RINITY is the third of the “Big Three” doctrines without which I can’t make sense of Christianity. It is the third leg of my own personal xmin stool. It is also the third in doctrinal Chronology. After Eucharist (from the very beginning) through an understanding of Jesus as God, came the understanding of God as [...]

Last time, in this series on the “Big Three” (see the menu in the sidebar, there) I wrote about God having flesh. And there was an interesting conversation in the comments afterward. I tired to make it clear that these essay are documenting what I think is needed for Christianity to make sense. I recognise [...]

F I’m ever asked why I want to be a priest, I hope I can be this eloquent. (Props to Fr T)

ROPER CHRISTIAN Revolution is a threat to the social order. Opposition to caste system is root of attacks against Christians in India, says archbishop. He errs, I think, when he hopes, “We will be given help by the central government and by the State” because that comes at a price. But Glory to God for [...]
