Liturgical Nerds: August 2009
http://liturgicalnerds.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. Sex, Ordination, and Covenants. Over at The Huffington Post, regular columnist Rev. Debra Haffner is writing about the commitment to celibacy and chastity for ordained clergypersons. I encourage you to read the entire article. The most interesting statement is where Rev. Haffner asserts that. Make sense to ask [ordained, single clergy] to give up adult sexual lives outside of the congregation. Reviewed by Josh here. A church that is simply recognizing different preferences.

Liturgical Nerds: Experiencing Jesus
http://liturgicalnerds.blogspot.com/2009/08/experiencing-jesus.html
Sunday, August 23, 2009. The experience of Jesus in Christian worship and discipleship is not primarily 'spiritual'- whatever that means- but sensory, corporeal, bodily, tangible, enfleshed, incarnate, and immediate. An overemphasis on so-called spiritual or heavenly aspects eviscerates the power and import of faith. It turns us inward. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Expatriate Minister: July 2009

Friday, July 31, 2009. Let no place in me hold itself closed.". For some reason, reading poetry seems the perfect way to end the day. Rainer Maria Rilke's. The Book of Hours. Is especially appropriate in the last, dark hours. Written at the turn of the last century, it is as powerful in the first decade of this one. I am quite taken with this particular poem, and I hope you are as mesmerized by it as I am this evening. I'm too alone in the world, yet not alone enough. To make each hour holy. Just as it is.
