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 …
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 …

The many disparaging remarks by Anglicans/Episcopalians on both sides about Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' "sabbatical" are largely unjustified. Williams has made his share of mistakes, but the chasm between the orthodox and revisionists in the Anglican Communion is probably unbridgeable.

Back in 2000 there was a funeral for Nadezhda Shatova, a Ukrainian Pentecostal living in California. As noted below, on the surface there wasn't anything extraordinary about it.
