- Traditional, not traditionaists. There are more ‘both/ands’ in this world and in our church than ‘either/ors.’ Lutheran theologian, Karl Barth, said that a wise preacher holds the Bible in one hand and the daily newspaper in the other. The point is clear and consistent with Catholic tradition. Although God has revealed himself through the Scriptures, it is also true that God continues to b... [続きを読む]

the apostles. Readings: 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 Psalm 63:2-6, 8-9 John 2
0:1-2, 11-18 She was different where it counts. I suppose there are m

- Saint or Sinner or Both? My maternal grandfather was a farmer―of s
orts. Born in Brooklyn when farmlands could still be found, his mothe
r abandoned his father and their children when ‘Pop’ was still a y

- 2008/07/18 04:12It's all about health, wholeness and holiness.
- This ‘release’ that came to my recent attention may be of interest to website visitors. It’s not the first time I have been informed of the importance of diet and exercise. It’s just one more reminder that holistic health is just that―holistic. During my time as pastor at St. Joseph, I included this kind of information in my weekly visits to the elementary school children. When you stop and... [続きを読む]
