CONFIRM MY HEART'S DESIRE

Welcome! You'll find here occasional writings, a few rants, and hopefully some insights too, about Christian discipleship, the Episcopal Church, and on faith community's life (at least from my viewpoint) at the Parish of the Epiphany in Winchester, Massachusetts, where I am blessed to serve as the rector. At the Epiphany we understand ourselves to be "a welcoming Episcopal community, united in God, called to seek and serve Christ in all persons, and to transform the world with love and generosity."
Why this title, "confirm my heart's desire"?
The title comes from a line in Charles Wesley's hymn, O Thou Who Camest from Above. You can read the text and listen to a schmaltzy-sounding version of the tune here. The hymn is not widely known, except in England, but with persistence on my part, and with the persuasion of other musicians, priests, and hymn-nerds, it's gaining, slowly, additional admirers.

The Bible Challenge...game on!

Tomorrow at 9:00 folks at the Parish of the Epiphany who are interested in reading the Bible in the next year will gather in Hadley Hall to check-in, and to hear from each other how these first four days have been. Who knew Genesis would be this engaging?

I'm grateful to Marek Zabriskie for figuring this out--the Bible Challenge--and to my sisters and brothers at Epiphany who are doing this with me.
