From here to there

A few people have asked me why I haven't posted much on this blog lately. There are a few reasons. One is that I wanted Jessica Gates, the Communications Officer of the Diocese, to be able to assert her voice in this space. She has graciously encouraged me to continue to post here, and I've done that at times.

For a while, I was posting bits of humor or other items of potential interest here, but it seemed that perhaps this space was best used for news and commentary on diocesan matters. I'll probably post here, on occasion, as it relates to things that are of interest to the whole Diocese. For example, I was elected as a Deputy to General Convention, and I hope to post things here as GC 2009 gets closer.

Should you have immediate interest in reading my rants or ramblings on diverse and sundry matters, please visit my new home in the blogosphere, Seven whole days. See you there!

(OK, maybe you'll see me here too, now and again.)

The Church Awakens: African Americans and the Struggle for Justice

Here is something interesting from ENS. It is a really involved

project - I recommend everyone take a look.

[Episcopal News Service] The Archives of the Episcopal Church has
launched an electronic publication and online exhibit titled "The
Church Awakens: African Americans and the Struggle for Justice." The
multimedia exhibit, available at
http://episcopalarchives.org/Afro-Anglican_history/exhibit, covers the
period of enslavement to the present, with emphasis on the Civil
Rights era. As an educational resource for Church settings, the
exhibit is designed to expand on the strength of reader input and
future research.
