More news on the “Episcopalian/Anglican schism” front: a local church held its final service as an Episcopalian congregation Sunday, and after the service they walked their cross, altar, and vestments down the street to a new facility, to reopen as an Anglican parish under the authority of the Church of Uganda. It was splashed all over the Sun-Times, and the images included lots of children waving banners, and young men bearing an altar cross with a very large crown of thorns. The thing is, this particular church has apparently been split before, as there are TWO churches named “Resurrection” in…

The hell with humans – what about our beloved little cat Riley? He’s chipped, though the studies seem to have been just on mice and not on cats or dogs. Is he at risk? I’ve just fired off a query to Avid, the manufacturer for clarification or comment. Their email address was not easy to find, but turned out to be on their online ordering page.

Could there be a psychological or neurological reason why some people tend to be conservative, while others tend to be liberal? Possibly; and it might extend to how people think about new scientific ideas, political concepts, and even matters of faith. This might explain a lot about the current divide between the liberal and conservative wings of various Protestant churches, including my own. The “persistent in their judgements” sure sounds familiar. So does the “structured” model versus “anything goes, you adorable herd of cat-nuns” model. Their brains are different from our brains! Their zombies won’t eat our brainsssss, and our…

From the ongoing discussion at Father Jake’s regarding the protest of border-crossing Bishop Akinola in Wheaton: a commenter has posted a press release from Changing Attitudes Nigeria director Davis Mac-Iyalla, the gay Anglican activist from Nigeria who is now living in exile in Togo. He regrets that he probably won’t be able to arrange a visa and funds for travel in time to walk the picket line. Father Jake Stops the World: Protest Against Abp. Akinola on September 23 Changing Attitude Nigeria fully supports the plans of peaceful demonstration against our homophobic Archbishop Peter Akinola. Archbishop Peter Akinola keeps refusing…

Salt Lake Tribune – Keep a distance: Seminary, school should be in separate buildings In Lindon, a new charter school – a public school that operates with taxpayer money – and a seminary operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are occupying the same building. That doesn’t technically violate the constitutional mandate that government not support or endorse any religion, since each organization separately leases its space. The Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy and the seminary don’t even share an entrance. But the perception is there that the public school is simply too cozy with the LDS…

The Lead The article talks about Bishop Persell’s commitment to trying to find a middle ground that will [enable? help?]the Church to comprehend different understandings of how to be Christian in the world I missed this article from June; I just noticed it because I was checking background on a more timely news story detailed below. +William Persell is my bishop and I know how hard he’s worked to try to keep lines of communication open. I’ll do my best to remember it in the coming weeks, as clearly he would wish us all to do. The article mentions Fr.…
