Hiatus
For a while, there will be no further posting here. Many thanks to faithful readers. Yesterday, with 21 visitors and 36 views, was the best day of our run. The latest article was even "liked" twice by unfamiliar readers; I'm interested to know how they even found us, if they're willing to comment. We've averaged … Continue reading Hiatus
Being a Millennial Anglican
Everyone else is wrong and I am right.
Future issues
The following issues will shape the social landscape for as long as the Millennial generation is alive. Ten years after the Great Recession, the US has had its longest bull market ever. The recovery has benefited the country, but not the individuals of whom it is composed. We are experiencing the largest transfer of wealth … Continue reading Future issues
On Literary Criticism
One of my best professors taught women's studies. She understood that feminism was only one way of interpreting the world, and she was interested in whether we could use it's vocabulary and arguments correctly, not in our adopting that perspective. Once, I wrote a feminist essay on the Canterbury Tales. Based on these lines "No … Continue reading On Literary Criticism
Meditation on tradition: A satire
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYIxTQ1nvDI Nothing is more ridiculous than the traditions of the Church. If you’re surprised to read that from a Christian source, don’t be. We know best!

On Postmodernism
I hadn't thought to mention it before, but I won't be addressing Postmodern thought here. A basic tenet of Postmodernism is that there is no way of knowing anything. As such, it is irrefutable. Many Christian media have made efforts to demonstrate that Postmodernism lacks coherence. That's a snipe hunt. Postmodernists who even care what … Continue reading On Postmodernism
Case study
The purpose of this series was to serve as an experimental platform for Alternative Christian Media that could compete with mass media for the attention of consumers without "watering down" a Christian message. As case studies were requested, a case study is provided. Method An Anglican Millennial, the author targeted older clergy to express his … Continue reading Case study
Conclusion
When I graduated college, my choir gave me a copy of St. Augustine’s Prayer Book. If you have one, open it to the copyright page. The first edition was published in 1947 and reprinted 13 times. The second edition has gone through 18 printings. That’s incredible for a book with a niche market as small as … Continue reading Conclusion
