We must return to proclaiming powerfully and joyfully the event of Christ's death and Resurrection, heart of Christianity, principal fulcrum of our faith, powerful lever of our certainty, impetuous wind that sweeps away every fear and indecision, every doubt and human calculation. — B16

Toons and Suchlike

Hahaha, leave it to a cartoons discussion to pull me out of my shell. “Totoro” is pure magic, but “Ponyo” is even better, in my opinion. I love pretty much everything Miyazaki puts out (though “Kiki” is the weakest, for me), though we don’t let the kids watch a lot of it (wifey has even [...]

Re: Junia, [complementarian/eglatarian]-isms

Alastair Roberts has spilled quite a few words on the topic. My take is that he argues for ordination to be reserved for men, but more roles to be open to women than ‘traditional’ complementarians would typically permit. Worth a look.

Happy Easter

A blessed Easter Sunday to all of you. I hope that you all were able to take joy in the Resurrection, despite any shortcomings that you may have encountered in the liturgical traditions of your churches. ;) Btw, I discovered while shaking my pastor’s hand on the way out that he had an iPad tucked [...]
