Just up the road from here, an Episcopal "priest" (I hate that term for Anglican ministers) tell us us about why It's Not about Sex: I believe the archbishop's essay underscores what really is going on within the Anglican Communion and beyond. Debate about sexuality, or more precisely, homosexuality, is not really the issue; it …
TitusOneNine – A Tech Update from Greg Griffith re: a Denial of Service attack on the SF/T19 server
Earlier this year, in the post Create Your Own Anglican Communion Network I said the following: Note that your computer can pick up more than your own router. This works both ways, and illustrates our next point: you need to set up your wireless network with whatever security you can manage, otherwise a TEC revisionist …
The Catholic Calendar Script
One of the more popular features of this site is the Anglican Calendar Script, which announces the current liturgical event (Sunday, saint's day, etc.) according to the traditional Anglican liturgical scheme. I've gotten requests to expand it to include other liturgical calendars (TEC, RCC, etc.) Well, it looks like another has risen to the challenge. …
Holding the Property and the Organisation of the Church
Dr. Peter Toon's long discussion of the organisation of various churches and their relationships to holding their property is a great idea but, as is the case with many things about our legal system, is also easier said than done.

The Charismatic Nature of Anglicanism
In the midst of everything else going on here, I received an interesting comment on my piece Charismatic Anglicans: The Missing Link: I used to be a Lutheran who was sort of involved with the charismatic movement before coming to Canada. I became very discouraged with my church. I recently joined an Anglican Church in …
Life and Eternity on Titusonenine
While maintaining this blog (along with everything else,) I've had the chance lately to visit (and sometimes comment on) Titusonenine, the blog of the Canon Theologian of the Diocese of South Carolina, Kendall Harmon. This is a major Anglican blog, some would say the best. As with many things on the Web, encountering this has …
Sanctifusion: A Blog to Check Out
While making this blog a stench in the nostrils of many at TitusOneNine, I'm pleased to announce a new blog worth looking at: Sanctifusion. With the things that divide Christians into this "tradition" and that, it's good to see something that blurs some of our boundaries. Sanctifusion does that. Take a look.

Cape Henry and the Triumph of “Plan C”
This weekend we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the landing at Cape Henry, the first enduring landfall of English settlers in the New World. On 29 April 1607, a group from the Virginia Company landed and, led by their Anglican chaplain Robert Hunt, prayed for the establishment and propagation of the Christian religion in the …
