From Dorothy L. Sayers. Again, I am struck by how contemporary and relevant her decades old criticism is. (Does that make me a romantic or her a prescient thinker?) A glib speaker in the Brains Trust once entertained his audience (and reduced the late Charles Williams to helpless rage) by […]
The following is my sermon from this past Sunday. As you can see in the first paragraph, I am somewhat apologetic about the fact that I cannot read and reflect on our current readings without thinking of Mack and our loss. Then again, I realized that this is precisely what […]

Please see MackBrady.com for more details, but we are excited to announce that the Philadelphia Union vs. New York Red Bulls game on June 23rd will be in honor of Mack. We are scheduling a number of events throughout the day to celebrate youth soccer and raise funds for the Mack Brady Memorial […]
