Coming up for air

Picked up the Paul Roche translation of the works of Sophocles yesterday at our sole downtown bookstore. Read Ajax.

Yesterday we had a very civil and substantive discussion at our conference meeting regarding providing some sort of memorial service for a couple who was coming-to-terms with an abortion. Led to discussion about funerals for children who did not survive to full-term (which my wife and I know from first-hand experience). I'm quite impressed with how respectfully we handled everything, since there are a variety of theological stripes in the room.

Received a return email from the pastor who published his belief in open communion in the Lutheran last month. He was very nice. I'm sure he continues to be wrong, but he was very nice (heh).

I have deleted some of the blogs and added the N.T. Wright Page, an unofficial page with links to as many of his writings as are online. That can be found in News/Reference.
