A known racist and extremist, James von Brunn, decided to make the Holocaust Museum a blood bath that would be remembered on his tombstone. And, he must have thought that his dreams had come true when the door was […]
Again, my apologies for not having much analysis, but I am quickly posting this from our diocesan conference. This next excerpt has to do with Dr. Ross’ view of the development of human history. As I have said before, I do not agree with Dr. Ross. And I do promise that more analysis will be […]
This will be a quick post, since I am at an Econolodge on the way to the diocesan conference. Let me do a quick cut and paste from the Wikipidea on a movement that has had much influence in American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism. That movement is Christian Reconstructionism. Christian Reconstructionism is a religious and theological movement […]

Father Orthohippo and Father Orthoduck were both assistant pastors in the same congregation once upon a time. We know each other well enough to laugh together, share grandducklings (or grandhippos) stories together, etc. He recently posted the below, which I am glad to share with you. Comments are welcome. What is your church’s practice when […]
