While the Obamas went to services at St. John’s (Episcopal), Lafayette Square, Hubby and I went to Third Church of Christ, Scientist — a block north — for Easter services today. (Universalist tie-in: before they built this building, they owned the former Church of Our Father (Universalist), now demolished.)

“That I may seek that victory-beam”
I’ve written in 2004 and 2005 how I make a habit of reading The Dream of the Rood on Holy Saturday.
I wanted to note the translation I read today — by Jonathan Glenn, a professor at the University of Central Arkansas — for your convenience and edification.

Bible for Android?
No, I’m not preparing for a robotic mission. But after years of rejecting having a cell phone, I gave in — and did so with an Android phone. (After reading how a significant plurality of homeless persons have a cell phone, and how it is a leading entry-point for Internet technologies for persons in developing [...]
“From Jesus to Christ” online
If I had to develop a DIY training plan for ministry leaders — especially Unitarian and Universalist Christian ones — I would surely include the PBS Frontline series “From Jesus to Christ” (1998) as a resource. I had just finished my seminary education the year before, and was quite impressed in watching it. So when [...]
“The Bible’s Buried Secrets”
I saw the latter hour and a half of a two hour Nova tonight on PBS, called “The Bible’s Buried Secrets.” In seminary terms, it would be Hebrew Bible survey; indeed, I could see this being popular for seminarians, or those beginning an in-depth study but without access to formal lessons.
The Nova hook is the [...]
Where a home is a bench
Reader NDM takes me to task on Christian terms for my call to boycott Utah for organized Momon California Prop 8 actions. That’s put my thinking in a biblical bent today.
So when I read that a Ohio judge has allowed homeless voters to use the address of a bench or other non-building as a residence, [...]
Shortcuts for Bible citations
Oh, heavens! Many of you I imagine use TinyURL.com or some other URL redirection service when the Web address you have is too long to fit in a comment box, or to be practical in a blog post.
Oremus, an Anglican worship site, has a great service — let’s call it a cousin to URL [...]

Easter domain buying
I procured a domain that references one of my favorite biblical characters, or rather one of those characters whose presence (like Eutychus) only begs more questions.
Let me introduce (tentatively) theothermary.org — there’s no content there; indeed, I’ve not yet even pointed the nameservers to my host, but I’m pondering its use.
The reference, of course, is [...]
