Guest Blogger: Marcus Steele

This really is a real person. Honest! I’ve decided to invite some guest bloggers–some well known like Fr Rutler and some who are newer to the blogosphere. Marcus Steele is one of the newbies. Marcus was a poster child of success: a Marine Captain and Harrier fighter pilot; an advisor to the largest institutional investors in [...]

New Archbishop of Canterbury

There’s a new Archbishop of Canterbury. I must confess that we had a pony in the race. My sister is married to the Anglican Bishop of Worcester, Dr John Inge, and his name was mentioned at one point. Alas. The big hat at Canterbury has gone to a certain breed of Church of England Evangelical [...]

New Evangelization and the New Media

One of the problems with trying to communicate the gospel in the digital age is that everything seem so easy and cheap. I can make a radio show called a podcast right here from my laptop. Shucks, I can make a video with my laptop and load it up to my own YouTube video. I [...]

This World is Not My Home

A real sweet gospel song…
