“Western clerical celibacy is in an unprecedented crisis,” says the conservative Catholic canon lawyer Edward Peters. The reason? Since the 1960s, the Catholic Church has permitted married men to be ordained as deacons, an order of clergy just below that of priests; and in the past 35 years about 100 married converts, all former Episcopal priests, have been ordained to the Catholic priesthood."

Does this excite anyone else? Nashotah House is hosting a conference on Anglican-Orthodox relations on October 8-10. Entitled, "In the Footsteps of Tikhon and Grafton," the conference will include presentations by scholars associated with Nashotah House and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary. The conference will conclude with the signing of a Concordat between the two seminaries, like the covenant

Some of us may think we're being persecuted... (HT Life on the Planet)
Just a reminder that we don't know what persecution is:
Please pray for us in Jos, we are being attacked by Muslims. Churches have been burnt, no exact figures of casualties yet. We need prayer to stay the hand the hand of bloodshed, destruction, violence and death. Pray for instant return to peace and order. The crisis
...over at Kerry's blog, she had a link to this excellent article by Matt Kennedy.
It's on the use of incense in the church, and on the bigger question of beauty in worship:
God is the author of beauty. Anglican worship seeks to employ all the aspects of God's creation in worship...to reflect God's created beauty back to him. God's created beauty comes to us through sight, smell, taste, and

We all do know George Will, right? In case you're too young or have just crawled out from under a rock, he's a conservative columnist with brains and the driest of humor.
Papa Rooster's favorite George Will quote: "Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings."
(On the other hand, he has famously said: "Baseball is Heaven's gift
Our bishop is amazing. Here he is, praying for Bantam17...
...and for Bantam13.
For each one of our 23 confirmands, he prayed an individual, Spirit-led prayer that made you wonder how he could possibly know them so well, never having met them. Only by the power of the Spirit, of course!
We meet in this beautiful old chapel only for feast days or special occasions like today. Even though

On Monday, the General Synod of the Church of England decided to allow the consecration of women bishops, and struck down all amendments by traditionalists which would have allowed them alternative oversight by their own bishops.
This move takes away the alternative options granted and promised to traditionalists when the ordination of women as priests was first allowed, and is likely to create
Remember I mentioned the Global Anglicans Future Conference (GAFCON) taking place in Jerusalem last week?
Well, there has been great rejoicing since the conference's culminating statement has been released!
Here (from Australian participant Tony Payne) is the best description I've read of what the statement means for the various groups represented: (HT to Barbara G.'s list-serve)

My real-life friend at Square Peg in a Round Hole has written an excellent post on what making the sign of the cross means to her:
Of course, many may ask, as I once did, - why is a physical action even necessary? Isn’t reflection upon these realities enough? And for you they may be. But physical action can often serve as a way of re-centering our mind, of speaking to deeper realities, and
It's been a quiet evening. Blondechick15, our most verbal and somewhat high-maintenance child, is at a Christian drama camp until Friday. The public areas of the main level of our house are finally in an unpacked state for the first time in weeks, so tonight I actually felt like I had a few moments to sit down at the table with Chicklet5 and play a phonics game with her.
We had a lovely time,
We discuss and model three disciplines with our kids during Lent: confession, fasting, and engagement.
Confession:
We discuss: Why do we need a whole 40 days of penitence? We should confess our sins year 'round, shouldn't we?
And we should indeed. But we get comfortable in our sins. Or we pretend they're not really sin. Or we're so used to them, we forget about trying to change. After all,
With permission, I am delighted to share this poem with you, written by the father of a homeschooling family that has recently joined the core team of our church plant. It describes his experience in joining us on one of his first Sundays.
It is beautiful and humbling to be a part of what God is doing there!
I remember entering a room
With a carpet of red;
Before me, a fireplace,

Don't forget about the first-ever Carnival of Anglican Advent Traditions! (Details here.) Post your submission(s) on your blog and email the URL of the post(s) to me by noon on Tuesday!
It's going to be so exciting to meet new Anglican--or any liturgically-minded--bloggers and readers. I can't wait to be inspired by everyone's ideas!
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I'm ready to think about
Do you desire to make your Christmas preparations and celebrations more Christ-centered?
Curious about how a full observance of Advent can lead to a more joyous Christmas celebration?
Would you like to find out how others approach the season of Advent?
Join us on Wednesday, November 28th, here, when I'll be hosting a blog carnival focusing on "Anglican Advent Traditions." We'll be sharing
In my last post in this series, I contrasted a typical evangelical view, of communion as a memorial only, with a sacramental understanding of it as a spiritual feast--food and drink for our souls. With a sacramental worldview, you believe that something happens when a sacrament is performed or received.
You believe that something happens when you anoint someone with oil for healing--that it is
Weeks ago, I began a little series explaining more about the church we're planting, and why we believe people will come and are coming to it. In Part One, I described it as a "three streams, one river" church, made up of the three streams of liturgical/sacramental tradition, evangelical, Bible-based teaching and discipleship, and freedom of the Spirit in worship. I've been exploring the
We're meeting in the pretty chapel today, since it's All Saints' Sunday and we're doing two baptisms! It'll be our first baptismal service--so appropriate on All Saints'.
Rejoice with us!
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ
Yesterday was All Saints' Day.
All Saints' always reminds me of a banner that our sending church displayed every year on the Sunday we celebrated that day in the church year. It was a joint effort of a gifted painter and an experienced banner maker, and it depicted Christ on the cross, painted in oil on canvas. Underneath his outspread arms, were painted many faces, half hidden in shadow, that
Well, the Midwest Anglican Awakening service this morning was an incredible joy to attend! Wheaton College's Edman Chapel was packed out. I've been there for numerous conferences and events since I graduated, but I've never seen it so full since my days of attending daily chapel there. The sheer numbers were exciting!
Papa Rooster and our clergy house guests were up and gone at the crack of
This post is third in a series of sorts....

Papa Rooster, reading what I wrote for last time, tells me I HAVE to quote C.S. Lewis on solemnity, from The Preface to Paradise Lost. But he can't find his much-underlined copy, so he turns to the internet and finds this gem of a post.
Since it so beautifully supports everything I said about ritual and ceremony--how nice, huh?--I
Well, a few weeks ago, I posted pictures of the lovely chapel our little church plant will someday grow into--and gets to meet in occasionally even now.
But if you want to picture us on a regular Sunday morning, here's the pleasant room where we usually meet.
That's Jan, the catechist who began the church--Papa Rooster's former college roommate.
And that's one of my urchins
There's not a buyer in sight for our house, but Sunday mornings at Light of Christ have been so encouraging! We've had lots of visitors recently who appear to be interested in joining us regularly. I'll hold off on telling you much about them yet, but it might be enlightening to share what brought them in the first place.

How should the Church respond and minister to those identifying as homosexuals? It's one of the most difficult questions of our day--and it's the issue (along with Scriptural authority) which has split the Anglican world in two.
Parties on both sides have been asked by worldwide leaders to be part of a Listening Process to help answer this all-important question.
One of the most amazing
(In the comments of this post, Sarah asked for this abridgement, taken from the Book of Common Prayer. The Scripture passages are the ones we're including daily right now, but I plan to rotate passages that I want the kids to be very familiar with.

From a USA Today article:
A potential courthouse showdown looms this week between 15 Northern Virginia churches, including two that predate the Revolutionary War, and the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. At stake are beliefs neither side will compromise, millions of dollars in properties and legal precedents that may reverberate nationwide. In the past six
Ohhh, that is exciting!<br /><br />This spring I will be taking 2 distance-classes from Trinity School for Ministry (In PA...but I'll just be doing distance.) Also, I'll be attending the AMiA midwinter conference :-) Much to learn!<br /><br />Jen in Seattle
What kind of Orthodox? Greek? Russian? <br />(The way my brain works: What kind of FOOD are they serving!?!)<br />In any case, it sounds wonderful.
My hubby will be there too. Sounds like an amazing conference!
Jen--<br /><br />Those are both great opportunities that my husband has taken advantage of also (in the past). Hope you enjoy!<br /><br />AC--<br /><br />Papa Rooster says what they are serving up ;) is mostly OCA--Orthodox Church of America, which is an offshoot of the Russian tradition.<br /><br />Amy--<br /><br />That's cool that our dh's will be there together!

This is wonderful! I'm Roman Catholic, but I am very close to an Orthodox family, and I believe that the benefits we have gleaned through mutual undertsanding are invaluable. What a great way to coexist! =)
