    Laundry run: I hate this cart

    March 22, 2008 - By 

    UPDATE: This is how I do the laundry run for the local homeless shelter: with a homemade cart somebody made that fits in the elevator. The bags of dirty laundry have to be stacked and wedged carefully so they don’t fall off the sides, as I hate making more than one trip between the laundry room and my car. I completed the run yesterday evening, after making the swap on Easter Sunday at the hospital (I was in the neighborhood). Ginny I can has iPhone?

    Pharyngula: EXPELLED! from Expelled

    March 22, 2008 - By 

    PZ Myers got pulled out of the line for a private screening of Expelled, the creationist “documentary” by a rent-a-cop at the producers’ request. But his guest, Richard Dawkins, was not recognized. IM N UR THEETRE, MOCKIN UR DOGMAS! See all 1200+ comments for more enjoyment of the delicious irony at Pharyngula: EXPELLED! As seen various places, most recently OneUtah UPDATE: A video of a post-expulsion discussion between Dawkins and Myers is here.

    Fat Liturgical Dancer: Small Churches Suck

    March 22, 2008 - By 

    I can’t wait to repost this over at the Holy Moly blog… perhaps later in the liturgical season of Soccerates, when attendance drops and we combine two services into one over the summer. I already sent a link to Father Steve, who really loves the upholstered chairs we have at St Nick’s and performs a kind of meditative dance when he lines them up in new and interesting patterns before services.  He may get a kick out of this: Fat Liturgical Dancer Now that every church is certain that the only path to success is by having a Mega Church,…

    ++Katharine: Building Bridges

    March 22, 2008 - By 

    Episcopal Life Online – NEWS Our Bishop ++Katharine has been in Israel living out Holy Week with an ecumenical group, walking the walk and talking the talk. The linked article tells more about the Good Friday pilgrimage along the Via Dolorosa, and how the group negotiated traffic, curious and incurious people on the street, and even an angry person who spat at them. But ++Katharine is also building bridges – there were two photos near the top of the photo that said “Click for more information,” and with this one, the text is: ELO photo/Matthew Davies Following the March 21…

    How Holy Is This Night

    March 21, 2008 - By 

    Caminante, no hay camino: The Great Vigil of Easter Brother Curtis spoke of the Exsultet:‘This past Easter morning at 4:00 a.m. we were celebrating the Easter Vigil in the monastery where I live.

The monastery chapel was still in darkness, illuminated only by lighted tapers held by the monks and a large number of people worshipping with us and the great Paschal Candle. In this darkened space tears rolled…
