Jesus Answers Your Silly Questions

by Anne Kennedy | Apr 1, 2020 | Jesus, The Gospel

In this new age of coronavirus, I thought I would toddle over to Time.com and do the bold, terrible thing of gently disagreeing with NT Wright, who, we must all acknowledge, is much much smarter than me, and who has reams and reams of published work to prove it....

Lent: When Less is More – Fasting and Abstinence

by Mark Marshall | Mar 11, 2020 | Anglicans, Jesus, Spirituality

I should say right off that I am not the best one to write about Lenten fasting and abstinence. I’m Texan. I can maybe go 40 hours without meat as I more or less do at the end of Holy Week, but 40 days? As for abstinence, I do cut back on my alcohol intake during...

Why God Does Answer Some Prayers

by Anne Kennedy | Jan 30, 2020 | Jesus

I am mixing up all my blogging opportunities. I wrote over at Patheos yesterday about how Christians ought to pray, but then, in the early dawn this morning, I got distracted and posted about children, when really, I meant to answer a bitter comment. So, I’m going to...
