The Way We PracticeJesus and the Messy Incarnation of JusticeThis week, on the eve of the Feast of Christ the King, I’m back with another conversation with my friend Joshua Daniel. The spark for this conversation was a speech given by Raphael Warnock in which he makes some theological claims about the nature of democracy. From there we followed the conversation to a wide range of questions about the church and politics. I hope you find our conversation helpful in your own discernment of these important topics!Some resources mentioned:* David Fitch interview with Stanley Hauerwas: “The Present Moment with Stanley Hauerwas.”* An...2022-11-1958 min

The Way We PracticeThe Clock and the ChotkiIt is a rainy morning, each drop sounding with a chaotic rhythm on the tin roof. The incense is lit, nothing fancy—just a simple stick bought on the side aisle of the grocery store. It smells of cedar and myrrh. Before me there are a few scattered icons—St. Luke, patron of writers, the Holy Family, Mary and the Christ child. Before them a candle flickers, a spent “office” candle from church with plenty of life left for my purposes. It sits in a jar that once held spaghetti sauce, now filled with sand.I’m prep...2022-08-1808 min
The Way We PracticeThe Grail of CreationWhen I was a child, few movies captured my imagination like the Indiana Jones series. Indy was everything I wanted to be—an adventuring scholar, at home equally in a library or a jungle; a good guy with a gruff edge. I saved my money, bought myself a felt fedora and a whip, and set off into the woods in search of adventure. I didn’t discover the Ark of the Covenant or escape ancient booby traps, but I did find a few old bottles and a cobbled leather shoe—exciting enough fare for a nine-year-old.Perhaps it was...2022-05-2607 min
The Way We PracticeThe Willow at the End of the WorldThere is a place in a forested park near my home, on the lower side along the creek, where my family likes to spread a blanket or hang a hammock in the nearby trees. We love the water and the life it feeds. It is a good place to sit and be and watch. Once along this creek we found the iridescent wings of a Great Purple Hairstreak butterfly; another time we discovered a salamander, swimming among the rocks. There are always plenty of birds and dragonflies and water bugs moving about.Beside the creek, on...2022-05-2210 min

The Way We PracticeMeta, Fantasy, and the Found WorldI walk on a trail in the early spring, leaves bright—a yellow green, not fully operational, not yet manufacturing the chlorophyll that will be the plant’s food, not yet mining the sun for its energy. Operational, manufacturing, mining—no—breathing, eating, growing. There is a change creeping into my language, a forming—conscious and unconscious—into the patterns of the Machine. It is happening around me too. My children ask me to “pause” the reading of a book.
