This is a great 18 minute interview with a great man, especially the latter half in which he describes with great clarity some of the challenges of the new Anglican reality.  Don’t miss this one.

I have been a subscriber to First Things for years.  Unlike many journals this one just keeps getting better.  Here is the link if you would like to subscribe. Take a look at the website and see what you think.  Their blogs and many articles are available without subscription.

I am grateful to Margie Shera for finding this very clever YouTube production.  I hope you find it helpful especially in talking with Christian friends who don’t “get” all this Prayer Book stuff.

I encourage as many as possible from St Peter’s to attend this historic event.  Here are the details for registration.  Along with great fellowship and teaching, we will be saying a grateful farewell to retiring Archbishop Robert Duncan and welcoming our new Archbishop, who will introduced at that time.

Our lessons for today include the well-know “Eve and the Serpent” narrative from Gen. 3.  This 10 minute video by Fr. Robert Barron offers some fresh and helpful insight into what for many is a very puzzling story.  Highly recommended.

Here are the founders of the feast.  Many thanks to the chefs and chief bottle washer!

And special thanks to Alice (seen here with Paige) for the gift of the beautiful El Greco painting of our patron, St Peter!

At Tuesday’s Pancake Supper, Sue read these two beautiful original poems. The first depicts the wonder and joy of the winter’s first snowfall.  The second is a celebration of what we are all hoping will arrive real soon!  Thank you, Sue for sharing your poetic gift and your contagious love of “all things bright and beautiful…”

This blog post came to me indirectly.  It may be one of the most powerful, penetrating and convicting words I have ever received.  Be prepared.  Sometimes it takes a layman (or woman in this case) to remind us of our calling.

Sacerdote, celebra tu misa como si fuera tu primera misa, como si fuera tu última misa, como si fuera tu única misa. (Translation in the blog post)
