Online resources for fun and enrichment

If you don't know about it, the Episcopal Cafe is one of the best places to keep up with what's going on in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. It's also chock full of great resources for inspiration and spiritual growth. They've just launched a video section, which will feature something new every Monday. I recommend the whole site, whether you're looking for prose or video.

Tobias Haller writes one of the most thoughtful blogs out there, and it's always worth reading. Not too long ago, he posted a tithing catechism. If you're looking for a resource on tithing, you'd be hard-pressed to find something better than this.

These days, there are lots of news stories on the Episcopal Church, often full of distortion and gross error. If you see something in the news, check out epiScope, the quasi-official blog of the Episcopal Church. Jan Nunley (formerly of Rhode Island) posts media roundups regularly, and she sets the record straight when that's required. For example, if you saw the article in yesterday's New York Times article about the porn-star-becoming-priest, you could check out epiScope for the real story.

Lastly, if you're in need of a laugh, look no further than the Cartoon Blog, part of the Cartoon Church empire. Some of the humor (or should I say "humour") is of a peculiarly British bent, but I think you'll like what you see. Dave Walker will license his cartoons for use in congregational publications, should you wish to bring some laughter to your community.
