    I think you are underestmating Trump, he’s not going anywhere, and the Le Pen prediction seems very bold of you considering recent history…

    #8 happened in the US about a year ago. The DC Madame’s little black book. I posted about it at Episcopal Cafe that meny clergymen were listed and I was lambasted for posting. That if their rector was on the list that wasn’t anyone’s concern but he and his wife.

Don’t bet on beards leaving; mine’s certainly not going anywhere (I hate shaving!)

  • Sermon preached on 30 May 2010

    Here is what I said yesterday for Trinity. Text below. Ah, Trinity Sunday – every preacher’s favourite. How are we to understand it, is always the cry. Well, as usual, if that’s the cry, the sermon is unlikely to provide an adequate answer. However, Trinity Sunday is an invitation to think about the nature of…
