It’s All Connected (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Friends,My wife and I are coming up on our tenth wedding anniversary in a few weeks, and after that many years of marriage and having known each other now for 18 years – literally half our lives – we have a tendency to become unintelligible to other people.This is true of all families and close friendships to various extents. Inside jokes, twisted idioms, it all blends into a special language. But somehow we’ve been a lot like this since not long after we met. It’s always felt like we could

Dear FriendsLast week’s thread of “fairness” continues to weave through this Sunday’s lectionary, perhaps shouting even more loudly than last week, depending on if you’re reading track 1 or track 2!

Dear Friends,The other night, my rector and I sat on one of the dilapidated benches outside our parish’s memorial garden chatting and waited to see if anyone would show up for the last “campfire compline” of the season. It’s a program I started last summer – monthly compline around a fire pit followed by s’mores and fellowship. It’s a little program but in the course of it, maybe 7 or 8 services total, a good number of people in our parish learned what compline was and got to experience it toget
