Episcopal News Service - NEWS This is awesome. I have often felt that many people were left out of the liturgy because of their age or other factors.... the liturgy should welcome everyone, and these services are including children who have amazing gifts to share. Love it.

In case any of you haven't seen this... Video: Ecce No Homo | The Daily Show | Comedy Central "May I ask who your primary spiritual provider is?"

Hi everyone, Not that I like airing our diocese's dirty laundry, but it's been a rough week out here: http://www.diopa.org/ Bishop Bennison has been inhibited because of allegations he helped cover up sexual abuse perpetrated by his brother (an Episcopal priest under his authority)...

Hi everyone -- I've been away for a while because our daughter decided to enter the world! She arrived three weeks early, on July 1 -- Julia Siobhan. She's healthy and we're all doing well here at home, after we had to treat her jaundice one night in the hospital. I haven't had much time to...

Hi everyone -- Just got back from a trip to visit the in-laws in the UK, and did a little bit of sight-seeing along the way. My mother-in-law suggested stopping by Wells on our way to Bath, and to check out the cathedral. We were glad we did! The architecture was fascinating and the place...

I was in Pittsburgh earlier this year, and while walking by the Episcopal cathedral did notice this cool little grill under the cathedral with the coolest name: Hot Dogma. Apparently part of the profits go toward a youth group. But a neighboring grill had a similar name, so a settlement has been...

This bank is maintaining funds to help the families of the recent Amish school shooting with their medical bills -- the Amish do not have health insurance. http://www.coatesvillesavings.com/

It's final, the game's done! No link yet. But I just saw the game on Univision, two goals in the last several minutes. Gooooooool! But man, England wasn't looking so hot for much of that game. They'd better pull themselves together for the rest of the Cup.

I think the local paper's website is overwhelmed, so try http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9968933/ and click on the state of PA. The local paper's website is http://ydr.com/news/main -- try it later to see if you can get more info.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/bristol/somerset/4326286.stm So sad -- just saw The Curse of the Were Rabbit this weekend, and I absolutely loved it. Seems the fire destroyed nearly everything in the Aardman Animation Studios. :(

So, great news -- my husband and I will be spending about a month and a half in central London this summer. We've lived there before, myself for six months and he about a year (we were dating at the time, and my visa ran out. :( ) and while there we tried a few churches. It was frustrating...

A Jesuit bioethicist believes the religious right is exploiting Terri Schiavo and that there is no moral or legal obligation to keep her alive. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7276850/site/newsweek This is an excellent article.

Easter Vigil is my most absolute favorite liturgy of the church year. I still get thrills when I hear the Exsultet chanted (and for a while I wanted to be a deacon just so I could be the one who gets to sing that!). This year, though, I have left my parish and I have the opportunity to go to...

I do music at a college ministry to Episcopal and Lutheran (and Presbyterian and... well, a lot of people are there) students in Philadelphia. Monday night's discussion was fascinating, we talked for two solid hours on this question. Given that, looking at the 2000 census data, geographical...

Has anyone picked this one up? I got it in time for my plane ride last week because the title was so intruiguing. I'm about a 1/3 of the way through right now. The writing is somewhat rambly, but I love Jim Wallis' ideas about how both political parties "have it wrong" or "don't get it" when...

Hey, fellow Episco-pals... Just wondering if anyone here has been involved in Vocare -- I'm currently trying to build up a new Vocare ministry in my diocese and it finally occurred to me to ask around CF! For those who don't know what Vocare is, it's a young adult ministry in the...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6646711/ And Abu Ghraib was supposedly an isolated incident? Right.

Okay, I admit this is a biased source. http://atorrez.com/index.php?p=124 If anyone can give me anything positive on Dr. Hager, I'd love to hear it. At the moment I can't say I would support his appointment to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory...

I am writing my congressional representatives today. I have big concerns about the fallout from this election. I ask any of you who feel the same to do so also. I'd like thoughts on this letter before I send it. Thanks. (BTW, Weldon is a Republican who has represented this district...
