Tuesday, March 27, 2012. CWOB: Asking the Wrong Questions. For all looking for a current state of the question on the development of some of what I discuss below, I recommend The Origin of Feasts, Fasts, and Seasons. By Paul Bradshaw and Maxwell Johnson. So, I want to reframe the question, necessary in a changed contextual reality- post-Christendom. The question is about Holy Baptism. What is our practice of invitation? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). In Chapter 19 of the Rule, St. Benedict writes, "The ...

Sunday, February 13, 2011. Communion Without Baptism (CWOB): A Follow-Up to Derek Olsen. Read his three-piece concerns on the subject:. Communion without Baptism I. Communion without Baptism II. Communion without Baptism III. I will say this as follow-up to Derek's concerns, oriented through my own lens, which tends to orient ecclesiological and ascetical concerns to the Person and work of Jesus Christ:. Where do I lie? Not keep a promise? In the totality of Incarnation of the Second Person the Word the ...

Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Problematizing the Language of Inclusion and Exclusion as a Singular Hermeneutic for Christian Community. In recent times, the language of inclusion and exclusion has largely been attached to queer persons and our place within the life of the Body of Christ. There are gains and losses with this language. And there are losses. Increasingly, this language functions at a very low level as an all-encompassing hermeneutic or lens by which to interpret all matters. Use of this language al...

contemplative vernacular: Matter Matters: Anglican Materiality
http://contemplativevernacular.blogspot.com/2012/05/matter-matters-anglican-materiality.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. Matter Matters: Anglican Materiality. Everywhere I read these days, I encounter a lot of words about “spirituality.” In a recent conversation with a Lutheran student, I asked, “But what spirit? 8221; “Well, the one in creation.” “Certainly. But Whose? 8221; … Finally, I said, “The Spirit of Jesus.”. This is what Anglican liturgies do. This Spirit and any spirituality that goes and be-s with, takes us into the life of the world to be for the life of the world. Contemplative pract...

contemplative vernacular: "Eastern Rite Anglicanism": Reflection One
http://contemplativevernacular.blogspot.com/2013/04/eastern-rite-anglicanism-reflection-one.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Eastern Rite Anglicanism": Reflection One. I want to say a few things about a notion for an “Eastern Rite Anglicanism.”. I will offer a reflection day by day as time allows. When I was 19, icons are what attracted me to liturgies and to liturgical traditions. In a paper I wrote at 22 after a visit to an Orthodox Divine Liturgy:. Incense swirls upward, rises loftily toward the roof and abruptly pours out through the room, descending upon the crowd. Icons are not foreign to the sens...

contemplative vernacular: System Down?
http://contemplativevernacular.blogspot.com/2013/01/system-down.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. This is a brief follow up to one part of a conversation related to sanctity, Christology, and our common praying. See at Derek's here. And at bls' here here. One of the things I have learned as a lover of the Prayer Book and of Anglican history is this: The system has rarely been fully operational. Evangelical practice often led to Sunday Morning Prayer with sermon. Methodist rigor often led to para-Church activities replacing the parish. And then there is the average Anglicans ...
