Interstitiality

Resurrection

It has been quite a while since I last posted. I figured that it was about time that I warmed up the engine and got this train back on the tracks. For all I know, I might be posting for no one else but myself for the next few weeks. But here it goes…

Many things have happened since my last entry:

--I now have the adjective “Reverend” before my title Doctor. I was ordained to the ministry of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. on October 1st. It was a wonderful event with Episcopalians, United Methodists, and Presbyterians all present. AKMA preached a great sermon. Good day all the way around. I'll post some pictures later on my Flikr page.
--We recently celebrated my call to Seabury with a special liturgy of installation
--I presided over my first Eucharist (a CUIC service) at Seabury this week. Here is more information on CUIC, which is an acronym for Churches Uniting in Christ—an ecumenical dialogue among many Christian traditions.
--We lost another Lavabo Bowl. For three consecutive years, we have lost to Nashotah House by a touchdown or less. We lost 6-0. We were driving for a game-tying or game-winning TD. We were on about the 10 yd. line when the Black Monks intercepted my throw on a ball that one of our players tipped. UGH!
--My in laws came for my ordination (Oct 1st) and decided to stay until Thanksgiving. As Forest Gump once said, “And that’s all I have to say about that”
