Hubby and I spent more than an hour at the Sackler Gallery, one of the Smithsonian museums (with its twin, the Freer) that gets less than its fair share of visitors despite it having some of the most interesting ancient and modern art installations. When you think Asian art, think the Freer and Sackler.
But when […]
Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN) lost his bid for the Senate, but there was something dignified and stirring in his concession speech. We’ll see more of him.
But I wanted to note the biblical passage he quoted and used as a slogan for the campaign:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers
That’s […]
The Human Rights Campaign — the largest US lesbian, bi, trans and gay organization for civil rights; headquartered in my neighborhood, by the way — has started up a Revised Common lectionary-based resource, as reported by the United Church of Christ News (link):
The Human Rights Campaign has launched a weekly online preaching resource to provide […]
Y’all know I love Ubuntu Linux and use it exclusively on my home computer. I wanted to highlight a piece of software I’ve been using on it: GnomeSword, the Bible and related texts reader for the Gnome desktop. (I’m using it to identify the introits in the old Evangelical and Reformed Church The Hymnal lectionary. […]
Ah! Some enterprising writer has created a substantial article — ported from a personal site, it seems; wise move — about Geneva or preaching bands. Excellent! (he says Montgomery Burns-like.)

Much of what follows also applies to the endless references to popular writers and poets I heard used in Unitarian Universalist […]
Perhaps you’ve read about the The 100-Minute Bible, a page-turning condensation recently penned by an Anglican priest, the Rev. Michael Hinton.
The BBC’s Radio Four has collected some submissions for a ten-second Bible, a few of which are quite clever.
A reminder to my Loyal Readers, I’ll be preaching at the Church of the Holy City (Swedenborgian) this Sunday. That’s 1611 16th St. NW, Washington, at 11:00 a.m. Metro to Dupont Circle north exit and walk four blocks, or take the S2 or S4 bus to Corcoran Street.
In the “more” I’ve put the texts I’m […]
In my recent post Is the mainline church closed-source? I resigned myself to using the King James Version of the Bible. Last night, I installed more open-source software on my computer — I’m loving the Ubuntu Linux, but that’s another entry — and GnomeSword2 Bible Guide had a translation I had never heard of: the […]
