Bishop’s Blog: The Other Soft Voice

A great deal of the discourse these days is anger, dissembling, harshness. It is a shame, but I suppose it has one advantage. No one would seriously claim it is up-building. You know whence it comes.

Diary of a Theologian

Matthew was born in the mid Sixties in England and died at age 25. He had Down’s Syndrome, a problem recognized by his mother (the author) at his birth: she tried, unsuccessfully, to get the hospital to let him die. One feels that this book, published a decade ago by Paul Dry Books, is in part a recompense. Certainly by the end the reader knows that Matthew had a life of great importance to many people.

Getting Ready for Sunday by the Rev. Will Brown

The old Prayer Book Eucharistic canon speaks this way explicitly: “And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee…” God has given us everything, and we so we owe him everything.

Book of Malachi

Join Church of the Incarnation for it’s Bible Institute conference that includes solid Biblical exposition along with traditional liturgical offerings.The December session will focus on the Book of Malachi which is an often ignored and overlooked minor prophet in scripture and is only four chapters long. It is the last book of the Old Testament, and after this prophetic revelation, followed 400 years of silence. During this silence, Israel waited patiently for the coming of its Messiah. Far from being minor, Malachi sets up the entire New Testament by preparing us for the Incarnation of the Messiah, the first coming of Christ.

Mission to Nicaragua
