  • Amazing (yet disturbing) grace

    One of my favorite authors is Jodi Picoult.

    She writes love stories mixed with controversial issues — stem cell research, faith healing, euthanasia, teen suicide — usually with a lengthy courtroom drama at the end.

    Her books are impeccably researched. When she tackles an issue, she knows her stuff.

    In her latest book, “The Storyteller,” she writes about the Holocaust.

  • Farewell to a Ragamuffin

    Of all my well-worn, marked-up, pages-turned-down books, those written by Brennan Manning are among the most beaten up.

    Former Roman Catholic priest Richard Francis Xavier “Brennan” Manning died April 12 at age 78.

    His most famous book and one that’s beloved by millions is “The Ragamuffin Gospel.” In it, Manning proclaimed good news for the “bedraggled, beat-up and burnt out” — good news for me and for you.

  • Practicing resurrection

    Second Sunday of Easter, April 7, 2013

    So, friends, every day do something

     that won’t compute. Love the Lord.

    Love the world. … Be like the fox

    who makes more tracks than necessary,

    some in the wrong direction.

    Practice resurrection.

    — Wendell Berry

  • The cross walk

    The dying evening sun shone through the stained glass and illuminated the altar at the Church of the Ascension, where a few members of the Episcopal congregation were about to re-enact Christ’s last supper in the Eucharist.

    “Tonight, the first act of the mystery of the Passion begins to unfold,” the Rev. Karl Lusk said as he explained the significance of the paschal triduum,  the three holiest days in the church year, beginning with Christ’s last supper and his betrayal, and ending with his resurrection on Sunday.
