It’s What We’re Here For
Jan. 21, 2007 By Harry T. Cook Luke 4: 14-21 The Episcopal Church in the United States of America, as a British friend of mine would say, has its knickers in a twist over what the Bible says about this and that, what correct belief is, etc., etc. Dozens of parishes are forsaking their bishops […]
Seeing It, Though Through the Glass Darkly
Dec. 31, 2006 By Harry T. Cook Matthew 2: 1-12 Epiphany is the name of this Sunday. It’s actually the name of January 6 in the Western Church. But January 6 is a Saturday this year, so many churches will celebrate Epiphany on the previous Sunday (Dec. 31). On whatever day it is celebrated, Epiphany […]
Matthew 25: the sheep and the goats
Simon wrote: It strikes me that our destructive side (sin) is exactly that which makes us want to divide and put boundaries around things. This is precisely the scandal – what Richard Rohr calls the ‘humiliation’ – of grace; we have no control over the loving inclusiveness of God. We are loved and included, even […]

Galatians: Exegesis and Theology (N T Wright)
as power games. Of course, as C. S. Lewis used to say, if people really thought about these things, it might become clear that the attacks, though sometimes interesting and important, are not ultimately valid. But most people in western Europe, and many in North America, do not think very hard about such issues. They […]
Judgment by works?
From ‘pontifications’, a blog (http://catholica.pontifications.net/?p=2112). “…Jesus’ parable of the last judgment (Matt 25:31-46)….
