Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

Help, Help! I’m Being Oppressed!

T ONE TIME, As many readers know, I attempted to live out what I saw as Theological Orthodoxy within a “canonical” Orthodox Church. At the time this included traditional teachings on human sexuality: these are heteronomative assumptions of monogamy equated with divine revelations of morality – and to make that statement I do not need [...]

Muscular, you know, Religion

HILE I CAN In no way applaud the conclusions of the conversation (especially in the second, follow-up post) – because it only takes into account American issues and treats them as global – this one passage is so dead-on a critique of the only magazine to publish an essay of mine as to make me [...]

It’s the anti-gay doctrine, stupid

HERE IS ONLY One sin left, and a new Anglican denomination knows that sin is Teh Gay. Sure, Terry Mattingly wants you to imagine it’s about the tmatt trio (aka the Red Herring) and about Biblical Authority. He wrote a very predictable article on GetReligion. It’s a blog I no longer frequent, but I knew [...]
