Taken at Maroon Bells, near Aspen, Colorado. You know, I really need to upload the rest of my photos from the October road trip. At the moment, though, I’m just testing a new beta version of ecto, 2.2.0 beta 3, and it has a very, very cool Flickr plug-in that pulls photos in very nicely, and then it applies all my fussy drop shadow doodaddery. This process would be speeded up greatly (like, Warp 10, Mr. Worf greatly) if I could log in automatically to Flickr. However, I couldn’t log in to my own personal photos to pull them, although…

Testing a few things… ecto with WordPress, specifically with the configuration I have with the WP-WYSIWYG Rich Text editor. It did not play well with the HTML coded tags in the last post, which I ought to have realized. So I will try adding the “quick tags” via ecto, which use angle brackets. Also, I want to see how it handles the little “insert current iTunes track played here” thing that ecto does. And it’s currently not working right, as it seems to remember the last thing tracked before I downloaded and installed the beta. It’s too late tonight to…

Posted by a commenter at Father Jake Stops the World I've lost track over the years of the citation, but there was a book published in the last generation that reviewed growing congregations across denominational lines (including Episcopal churches). That study found five factors as important: 1) good preaching; 2) good music; 3) good adult Christian education; 4) opportunities for hands-on service ministries; and 5) small group interactions. (Interesting, considering the attention it has always gotten, that Christian education of children wasn't afactor.) As a frequent supply priest over the years, I've been really surprised and saddened at the…

Ship of Fools: Features WE DECIDED TO DO SOME technological digging to find out what had been going on. The fact that Freddie, our Mystery Worshipper, had given no name for the priest in the Abbey report was starting to look rather convenient. Had we been hoaxed? Via Dylan's Grace Notes… this reads better than an old-fashioned mystery novel.

Father Jake Stops the World NYT: How many members of the Episcopal Church are there in this country? KJS: About 2.2 million. It used to be larger percentagewise, but Episcopalians tend to be better-educated and tend to reproduce at lower rates than some other denominations. Roman Catholics and Mormons both have theological reasons for producing lots of children. NYT: Episcopalians aren’t interested in replenishing their ranks by having children? KJS: No. It’s probably the opposite. We encourage people to pay attention to the stewardship of the earth and not use more than their portion. I'm a childfree, environmentally aware Episcopalian,…

One Utah » Blog Archive » Crumbs of Compassion So, how is the country doing after a six-year diet of crumbs? Well, the good news is that, just in time for Thanksgiving, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has found a way to eliminate hunger in America. The USDA will now use the term “very low food security” to describe people who used to be considered “food insecure with hunger.” Statistically speaking, hunger will no longer exist for the 3.9 percent of U.S. households in the “very low” category this represents about 11 million people, using 2000 Census figures. The bad…

We've been having some minor technical difficulties with our feed. But now that my husband David has figured out who to set up the automatic Feedburner plugin so that it updated correctly, all seems to be good now. I updated the little feed image widget on the left column. For everyone that was reading via RSS feed, sorry! I hope you find your way back here, I didn't do do this very cleanly when I cut everything over. And I'm sorry that I put David through that – it was pretty frustrating for him while he was getting it straightened…
