ARA MILES’ New book, Jesus Freak, is a blessing and a curse – both for the same reason: you have to sit down and think. You have to think all the way through. When Sara’s publisher offered to send me a review copy, I was very thankful. But I wasn’t expecting this [...]

AINT Gregory’s community invites us to “come sing and dance to Jesus’ lead“. How? There’s ample evidence – from all corners of the Church – that someone usually wants (or even craves) to function as a gatekeeper. You, my dear reader, are either too conservative or too liberal for my taste. [...]

Preached on 24 June 2001 at St Gregory of Nyssa Church in San Francisco… sorry for the repost: I’m in Toronto at the Pride Festival.

Christ is Risen!

REIND Of this Blog and my own friend, Donald Schell, has posted a piece over at the Episcopal Cafe on the icon of the Dancing Saints at St Gregory of Nyssa Church.

We continue with the serialised posting of Rick Fabian’s Worship At St Gregory’s. These few remaining post-communion rites conclude the liturgy proper as well as the portion of the text dealing with the liturgy itself.
E Give in response to God’s gifts to us, and so take part in God’s generosity. Hence this moment [...]

F All the liturgical memories I have from SGN, the most joyful and awe-full one is giving communion. I was never worried about getting it wrong. Everything else – speaking, reading, preaching – left me worried that I’d mess something up. Giving communion came to me naturally: Placing the bread [...]
