The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.
Snapped this yesterday and thought it captured a typical view of Saint James Church Fordham... hardly know it's in the midst of a busy Bronx neighborhood, would you? Last night's vigil liturgy was a delight, the warmth of the congregation and the fellowship meal we'd shared earlier in the afternoon offsetting the cold winds outside. We wish all a very blessed Christmastide.

“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

A joyous Christmas to you. Lovely picture.
What a lovely photo! Christmas joy to you and James!
That's St. James, all right. The old church is beautiful with the snow.
I hope that you and James had a wonderful day.
I wish you & James a blessed Christmas Father T.
An excellent photograph. Do you often get writing in the sky above your church? I suppose it's cut backs in heaven. You used to get angels singing "Glory to God..." Now God just texts us. Ah, well. Life moves on.
I think the Mad One is upset because Jesus won't befriend him on Facebook.
Have a very blessed Christmastide, Tobias.
A very joyous Christmastide to you and James.
And also with you!
Merry Christmas, Tobias and to all who are dear to you. May you enjoy many blessings of the season and good health in 2010.
Ah, was there ever a more typical-appearing (northern!) Episcopal parish at this time of year? :-)
Merry Christmas, Tobias, to you and yours!
