Quake hits NE Nevada, has buildings swaying in downtown Salt Lake City – Salt Lake Tribune There was an earthquake in Nevada that shook buildings – hard – in Salt Lake, more than 200 miles away. I’m not too worried about family members there, but I expect they’ll have some good ‘all shook up’ stories for me later.

Has the Anglican Split Begun? | Liveblog | Christianity Today Meanwhile, in the western suburbs of Chicago, I attended a Wednesday lunch meeting witha senior American Anglican leader who said in essence that the time may soon come for orthodox Anglicans to create some kind of new global structure because of repeated failures of ABC Williams to hold “revisionists” accountable for proceeding with gay ordinations and same-sex rites and for advocating a host of other non-orthodox revisionist teachings.This leader who spoke at aninvitation-only event anticipates creation of anew Anglican Province in North America thatorthdox Anglican leaders would recognize.
