@TheRevMDM Sir David Attenborough <in a hushed and surprised voice>: “although it appears to be a religious animal, the WASP merely utilizes religion in order to demarcate certain public spaces in which it can exercise power. In fact, the WASP avoids true religion at all cost.”

Christmas (1) by George Hebert
ALL after pleasures as I rid one day,
My horse and I, both tir’d, bodie and minde,
With full crie of affections, quite astray,
I took up in the next inne I could finde,
There when I came, whom found I but my deare,

[Daniel McClain @dwmcclain]

Since my dark soul and brutish is thy right,
To Man of all beasts be not thou a stranger:
Furnish & deck my soul, that thou mayst have
A better lodging then a rack or grave.
From the Temple (1633).

In 2017 I was fortunate to be invited twice to preach at the Advent Boston by then Assoc Rector @cubswn . In August of that year, after attending the Boston Historical Theology Colloquy I preached what I'm now entitling "God's Glory Can't Be Contained." https://t.co/nW2V2MhKVd

One of the things I do on the side is the Society of Scholar Priests. My Vice Chair and I wrote an email. You should read it. https://t.co/jhOjS1sHVU
