Kind of wild to see the entire theatre roused by Handel to stand in acclamation of the King of Kings… … in Bill 9 Quebec.

When someone on the Internet tells me that Western tradition is dying, I (1) look up academic presses to see how many books on Augustine are being published this year, (2) go outside and throw a rock and see if it hits something Western tradition made. “Hm,” I think, wondering what death is again.

Facebook reminded me about when I went to a small-town Pride picnic with our local churches... ... *before* I was out. My denomination drives me nuts sometimes, but I'll say: I'm grateful that I ALWAYS knew the one community that *would* receive me in full was Jesus' church.

On my way home from the Canadian Theological Society’s Annual Meeting, grateful that even though there are many kilometres between us, that Canada has an active and collegial theology scene.

Did a funeral today—awful circumstances. But I was steeled by this view: the cemetery gates were busted open in a recent storm. “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.”

This is deeply sad news. I was privileged to get to know David in his seminar on “The Theology of Luther and Calvin”—more appropriately titled “Pure Protestantism According to David Demson.” I loved every minute of it.

"It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Professor David Demson yesterday. David was a devoted and beloved member of the faculty at Wycliffe College for nearly twenty years.

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.
