Anglo-Catholic Ordinariate

Fourth Maryland church to join Catholic ordinariate. Members of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Cantonsville, Md. have voted to join the Catholic Church through the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, following suit with three other churches in the state. 

Cardinal Wuerl as the Vatican's delegate established the U.S. Anglican ordinariate Does his  success make him a leading choice for the next pope?

The First Church of Atheism.

Britain's first atheist church is barely three months old and has 400 plus members, more than can fit into its services.  Officially named The Sunday Assembly, their ‘meetings’ combine music, speeches and moral pondering with large doses of humor and are held in a former church.  

The Assembly's central tenets are to "help often, live better and wonder more." At last Sunday's service songs included "Help" by the Beatles and "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler. The "sermon" was given by the founder of an education charity on the subject of volunteering. The service ended with big cheers and shouts of "Who would like a cup of tea?"  The Sunday Assembly's success suggests many urban atheists crave the sense of community that comes with joining a church.  (Is that all that they crave?”)

clearing snow

 A fellow puts his ladder up to his roof and begins to shovel snow. The layer of snow then slides off taking  the poor guy to the ground. He was not hurt.

A babbling rill in Ireland

Beauty -- be not caused -- It Is --

Beauty -- be not caused -- It Is --
Chase it, and it ceases --
Chase it not, and it abides --

Overtake the Creases

In the Meadow -- when the Wind
Runs his fingers thro' it --
Deity will see to it
That You never do it --

~~ Emily Dickinson
