The other day, I posted about loss. I was mostly thinking about the loss of the church I've worshiped in for the last 5 years, or at least the loss of the building. Naturally, it got all mixed up with relating it to another loss – Mom – and how losing something you love resonates every time you lose something else. And then I saw this post at Sarah Dylan Breuer right afterward, talking about when you lose people when they decide they no longer want to worship with you, that the differences are more important to them than the…

I’m debating whether to post this on the church blog, partly because the blog URL will be changing soon to be in line with the rest of the St Nicholas site, and partly because I’m not sure E-Z the Answers Squirrel can “fly” without getting shot down by the Warden and the vicar.

Enough time has gone by since Holy Innocents closed that I think I can now deal with telling the story of the last 2 services held there.

daily episcopalian: Desmond Tutu on the Communion's peculiar priorities I am deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on what do I do in bed with whom, the South African Nobel Laureate Tutu told a news conference in Nairobi. That's preaching the Word, Bp. Desmond. I only hope your brother bishops bother to listen. [tags]Episcopal, Anglican Communion, Desmond Tutu, Peter Akinola, schism[/tags]
