Great Lectionary Preaching

I’m absolutely enthused over two sermon podcasts I’ve been listening to for several weeks. Both are examples of Anglican/Episcopal Churches that are standing for historic orthodoxy, but also embodying the Gospel in relevant, lively, ground-level Christian communities. I want to recommend these podcasts for all my listeners. Both are simple outstanding, and both are lectionaryContinue reading “Great Lectionary Preaching”

Dumb Up, Brother: A Spirituality of Ignorance

Somewhere in the backlogs of this web site I recounted what it was like being on staff at a church full of seminary students. Everyone knew so much that we had real difficulty doing anything- like buying stamps- without endless debate. Of course, there were advantages to having a lot of smart people in theContinue reading “Dumb Up, Brother: A Spirituality of Ignorance”

UPDATE: Carl Olson fisks this post. Just in case anyone missed it, I’m not trying to talk you people out of your Catholicism or tell you I’m glad I’m not a Catholic. James White’s blog is elsewhere. Comments are closed on this post. Mr. Olson can provide you the space to discuss this one, andContinue reading “Five Questions on The iMonk and Catholicism (where I also discuss some of my thoughts on how various kinds of Christians should appreciate and love one another.)”

Further Thoughts on The Locally Appearing Jesus

Be sure and read the original post first. As always, endless gratitude to Robert Capon. 1. The Biblical worldview is one of sacramental reality. The glory of God and his Son fill the universe. The purpose of creation is sacramental. Matter is fully capable of mediating the glory of God in whatever way God determines.Continue reading “Further Thoughts on The Locally Appearing Jesus”
