		<description><![CDATA[For my non-liturgical or low-church or unchurched friends, let me explain the issue. According to ancient tradition, there are four times a year (Ember Days) during which an aspirant/postulant/candidate/ordinand (one who is in the ordination process) is to write a letter to their Bishop. But I never knew "what" I was suppose to write. We were told to let the Bishop know how you were doing, how you were coming along, in the whole " priestly formation" thing. But, really, you couldn't do that, not honestly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The healthcare debate is loud and earnest. As it should be. We are talking about very fundamental, elementary issues of living together in community. We are continuing the national discernment process begun in the 18th century of establishing what it means to say that our Creator endowed all hu(man)s with certain unalienable rights. Among those, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They wanted to know if I was saved; if I knew Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  I was baffled that my membership in the Episcopal Church did not satisfy their soteriological criteria.   Apparently, I needed to recite a formulaic prayer and if I didn't remember the exact day that I had uttered this prayer, then I could bet my bottom dollar (or worse, my eternal life) that my name was not written in The Book... Basically, I was being taught a theology of God-As-A-Mean-Girl...What the Church knew and had prepared through her liturgy, traditions and sacraments was that eventually I would need the mature solid food that is the ambiguous, paradoxical,  yes - and nature of theological truths.]]></description>

It is in this land of unlikeness where Beauty falls in love with the Beast, where things that were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new. It is where the Impossible becomes possible. It is where the lion lays down with the lamb.]]></description>

Many people have been wondering with me about the purpose of Twitter. The Rev. Chuck Culpepper, of MS, likened it to the CB Radio of the Millenium; just a platform that allows many people to broadcast to many people. And it is that; but so much more. Back in the &#8220;BreakerBreakerGoodBuddy&#8221; days of old, one [...]]]></description>
