Even at 99 years old, it was with sadness that I heard of Billy Graham’s death today. God used this man in a remarkable way and we should give thanks for his life and witness to salvation in Christ. https://memorial.billygraham.org https://billygraham.org/gallery/a-look-back-at-billy-graham-in-birmingham/ http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2018/billy-graham/ – Andrew

Our plan for Ash Wednesday (today) is to preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. In the Episcopal diocese of El Camino Real, they and their bishop are taking a different approach. http://amp.sanluisobispo.com/entertainment/arts-culture/article199143744.html Even the Babylon Bee did a send up: http://babylonbee.com/news/37-episcopalians-remaining-planet-vote-stop-using-male-pronouns-god/ – Andrew
Dean’s Bulletin Board 2.13.2018
It is as if our denomination has grown so extreme that it escapes notice. The postman biting the dog no longer makes news. I post this because I have already received a number of emails asking if the story is true—it is. But rather than react in self-righteousness, let us pray for our denomination and […]

This article is a follow up to my last sermon on Mark 1 about settling for the experience and not seeking the experience giver. I wish I had read this before I preached. It is about Eastern Orthodoxy, but you could easily substitute ‘Anglicanism’ where it reads ‘Orthodox’ and it is spot on. https://www.whitehorseinn.org/article/a-call-for-orthodox-churches-to-preach-the-gospel/ (Subscription […]
Dean’s Bulletin Board 1.17.2018: Rwanda News
Wonderful news from Rwanda. Let’s continue to keep Bishop Mbanda, Chantal, and Shyira diocese in our prayers. This will mean that Sam Mugisha will become diocesan earlier than expected. (In related news, Sam will be with us next month!) http://www.anglicannews.org/news/2018/01/bishop-of-shyira-laurent-mbanda-elected-to-lead-anglican-church-in-rwanda.aspx – Andrew

Dean’s Bulletin Board 11.27.2017: A Collect
A wonderful collect from the late 1800s from the Church Association (forerunner to the Church Society). Though nearly 125 years old, it’s a prayer worth praying today. For reference, it’s Tract 133 and more can be learned from here: http://churchsociety.org/blog/entry/collect_for_use_in_the_present_crises/ “ALMIGHTY GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, hear, we beseech thee, for his […]
DBB 11.15.2017: Same Sex Marriage Down Under
As the result of a postal survey, Australians have overwhelmingly voted to move forward with same-sex marriage. There is a significant minority who voted ‘no,’ but it is clear that most Australians are for the redefinition of marriage. Here is a brief video in which Dr. Glenn Davies, Archbishop of Sydney, responds to the vote and […]
DBB 10.30.2017 What do we owe to the Reformation?
A great listen for Reformation Day (10/31)! Written by the formidable Bishop J.C. Ryle and read by Lee Gattis, What do we owe to the Reformation? is a good reminder to give thanks for those saints who have gone on before us. Indeed, for their stewardship of the gospel that has passed on to us, let […]
