Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Friday, November 07, 2008. A Hand for Richard Land. I want to thank Richard Land for graciously congratulating Barack Obama on his election and for his spot-on comments about how more proactive pro-life policymaking can help create create common ground among the Left and Right. Here is the link. Women - and men - facing unexpected pregnancies need all the help they can get. That help comes not only at the point of making a decision about whether or not to ...

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. I want to give a big shout out (ha! To my friend Debbie Ingram with the Vermont Interfaith Action. VIA has managed to get all three major contenders for this year's gubernatorial race to participate in a forum on VIA's core issues of affordable housing, access to health care, and opportunities for youth. That's right, Debbie Ingram . . . the Rick Warren of Vermont. A good example - Affordable Housing. As part of an agreement with...

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Joe Six Pack the Plumber. As part of my vocational practice discipline I am reading Eugene Peterson's reflection on the pastoral call. Under the Unpredictable Plant. Eugene Peterson is the guy who translated. Version of the Bible. I have long been amazed by the keenness of his insights into scripture. Under the Unpredictable Plant. Has proved that he has the read on my soul also. I suppose that is the radically upsetting meaning of ...

From the Wilderness: Another Fold

http://fromthewilderness.blogspot.com/2008/12/another-fold.html

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. I let someone go from the church the other day. Not an employee. A parishioner. And a friend. We met in a coffee shop and she began asking about ways that she can get more involved in church. But that wasn't what she really needed. What she really needed was permission to leave.

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. I'm Going to Walk: An Advent Meditation on Strong, Dark-Skinned Mothers-To-Be. When Irie gave birth to our daughter we showed up at the hospital, parked in the garage as practiced, and then rode up the elevator to the main floor. Irie's contractions were monster, so the walk was very slow, and very painful. And - and this is what really peeved me - why was the maternity ward on the third floor anyway? But my experience with Irie h...

From the Wilderness: What We Can Learn From the Wal-Mart Death

http://fromthewilderness.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-we-can-learn-from-wal-mart-death.html

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Friday, December 05, 2008. What We Can Learn From the Wal-Mart Death. Ethicsdaily is running an op-ed I wrote. About last week's death of Wal-Mart employe Jdimytai Damour. I'm posting the piece here with their permission. By now we have all heard about the Wal-Mart employee in Long Island who was trampled to death in last week's Black Friday shopping stampede. But the truth is most of us don't know who milked the cows today that we will drink from tomorrow&#46...

Dispatches From A Pilgrim In A Strange Land. Saturday, November 15, 2008. Playing the Wrong Game. Like a lot of you I grew up playing. My mother was the banker. “Reading Railroad, do you want to buy it? 8221; “No.” Pass Go! Collect $200. “St. Charles Place, do you want to buy it.” “No.” Pass Go! Collect $200. Yes!
