John Kutsko, the Executive Director of the Society of Biblical Literature, sent out the notice yesterday that the in-person meeting for 2020 SBL (and AAR) was canceled. We are, however, moving it to a virtual meeting. I am on the SBL Council and can assure everyone that this decision was […]

SBL 2020 Going Virtual

This essay was written as part of the outreach program of The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Lexington to continue to minister to our community in this time of uncertainty and “social distancing” that requires not meeting in person. For essays by my friends and colleagues go to “Calming the […]

What good is sin?

This past month and for the next month or so, I have been teaching a class for The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd called “Characters of God.” It is based upon some reflections I first began back in 2002(!) and have, at times, thought would make a nice book. […]

Please join me and members of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd on Sundays at 9 am for our class called “Characters of God.” “In this class Father Christian will lead us in a careful reading of many familiar biblical figures to better understand who they really were and […]

“Characters of God” Sundays at 9 am

The situation in our country right now demands that we reexamine our beliefs, convictions, and commitments. The sad reality, of course, is that this situation of hatred, racism, and inequality has always been present and should always have driven us to such reflection. Now, it should be unavoidable for everyone, […]

If I am a Christian… Rights, Government, and the Will …

This is an essay I needed to write and I wanted to write. In fact, it took me several efforts to get to this version and I will be sharing more thoughts on the subject in other posts. But this particular essay is also part of the outreach program of The […]
