I don't know if anyone is still reading here after a FOUR YEAR(!) hiatus (I've been busy!) but just in case, posts may become more regular again. After four years' teaching at St. Paul's Classical School in Melbourne, FL, I am now vicar of an APA mission church in Port Orange (near Daytona) Florida, a congregation we hope to revive and grow so that it can plant its own mission (in St. Augustine, FL) in due time.
In the meanwhile, how's about a new feature? "What does the priest do all day?"
