Feel hugely honoured and humbled to be keeping company with such heros.

People who run cathedrals in the Scottish Episcopal Church are called Provosts, in England and in the US and in much of the rest of the Anglican world they are called Deans.

In Scotland we also use the word Provost for the civic leader who would be called a Mayor in a lot of other places.
Deans in Anglican Dioceses in Scotland are similar to Archdeacons in England or Canons to the Ordinary in the states.

Usually I find that such hierarchical niceties have been worked out as a result of disputes of rather a long time ago.

Voices which distract, torment, dominate and control us to the point that we can not longer hear the voice of the One who knows our name and can offer us nourishment, salvation, strength…

Aha
Had an aha moment this evening when this question popped into my head… Are the Jeffrey John and Gene Robinson affairs not just reruns of the Donatist controversy? If so, of course, we know what the outcome will be.

Internet?
To me, the net is all about people. Community breaks out where people have meeting places and all of a sudden, we have the power for people to meet in so many new ways. There are far too many places online where we are offered information only as though we are supposed to think of…
