Attempting a change.
ER HOST Is attempting a change over to WordPress. No inbound URLs should change (they all go to "comments.php" or "more.php" and those will remain the same. The main page of the blog will still be "index.php". The only thing that will change is your RSS links. I will keep you up to date and inform you all when the final change has been made (may be tonight... but most likely not!)

Lunch for 10K, no reservations.
IA The Inclusive Church Blog we learn about Sikh ministry:
Every Sikh temple throughout the world has a Langar (Punjabi for "free kitchen"). This is not a soup kitchen. It's not exclusively for the poor, nor exclusively for the Sikh community. Volunteering in the cooking, serving and cleaning process is a form of active spiritual practice for devotees, but the service they provide asks no religious affiliation of its recipients. Our guide's chorus was, "Man, woman, color, caste, community," meaning you will be fed here regardless of how you fit into any of those classifications. This spirit of inclusion and equality is reinforced by the kitchen's adherence to vegetarianism, not because Sikhs are vegetarian, but because others who visit may be, and by serving no meat, they exclude nobody.Read the whole article on World Changing
Giving away food without any strings - theological, political, economic - and without stigma is also a Christian ministry although we tend to apply strings or social stigma. "Soup kitchen" says something very different to our western ears than "Bodega" or even "food pantry".
Welcoming Lover
OVE BADE Me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.
"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"
"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.

On The Road Again
N DURHAM To-day, staying with my friends, Zac and Charles, their Hummer and the evil Bunny, Seth, plus the two new kittens. There was a party last night for Ed and John. John is Brodie's best friend. Small world. I've known Zac from online since before I left NYC and, when I stopped by on my way from Richmond, they invited me to the party. Seemed like a good idea. I drove home and returned the car grabbed the truck and drove back.
Cool party (it would have been better if I had brought my camera). Good people. Silly jokes... Some folks I've known from online and never met.
It's been a week of reconnexions: My old SF Buddy Peter popped up on my chat screen, "Hi, Huw. This is Peter." It was amazing. My first typed response was "YAY!" I had a long talk with Jenn in San Diego. I had two hours (plus) of conversation with Donald in Richmond.

Sunday of the Cross
Reposted from the podcast last year...
HE HYMNS Of to-day are filled with praise of Our Lord and of His Cross. They are , indeed, some of my favourite hymns. The topic of the Cross was among my favourite even when I was a Protestant. The Anglican hymn "Lift High the Cross" is inspiring and uplifting. But very little about how we are to live is found in any of these hymns. How are we to be in response to the Cross?
