I almost forgot! Today is the feast day of St Epiphanios! I don't think about him much these days, but I know he's always judging me. And you. So watch out.

I once described the Oxford Patristics Conference to Dame Averil as the “Olympics of Patristics,” which she used in her closing address for the conference.

I was born in Minneapolis. Only lived there a year, but its name is always part of me. Dang proud of the way the people resisted, and heartbroken that people died, that families were terrorized, that our fellow human beings were treated less than the Image-bearers they are. Twin Cities, you shine.

Today, on the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, we announce the return of Credo!
Today, May 20th, is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. A fitting date to announce the long awaited return of a classic Chaosium game: Credo, the game of duelling dogmas.
