My cousin passed along, via facebook, her husband’s blog. I have not read much of it yet, but what I have read is very exciting to me. I know next to nothing about the Episcapalian tradition (like, for example, how to spell it!), though the bit of nothing I do know makes me grateful for the good work that community does. I really look forward to reading her husband’s sermons and thoughts on social justice. Maybe you will too?
Also, remember when I started my “I will read the Bible all the way through” idea? As predicted, I got through Genesis, then stopped. I swear the Bible itself pushes me away, and then there is all these other beautiful lovely stories to read that actively try to draw me in….. But, having finished The Brothers K, and having lost a man whose writings stemmed from his understanding of the Bible, and were critical to me, and facing a bit of a religious exile next year when it comes to home churches, I am determined to renew my familiarity with the Bible, no matter what, starting (ahem) tonight.
Wish me luck! Or pray, if that seems more appropriate to you
