I had the privilege of writing some expanded thoughts on the need for slow pastoral formation for the PAOC's Testimony/Enrich magazine. It was published this week, and you can read it here

As I am sitting at my desk writing this article, I have a (digital) stack of papers that need grading.

How are you marking the start of the new year? We are celebrating by having to replace our hot water tank.

As is my tradition, here is my reading list from the year. I enjoyed a lot of the books. What was your favourite book from the year, or what should I add to my reading list in 2025?

I look back at all the books I read in 2024, sharing which ones continue to stand out to me.

I cannot stop thinking about this quote placed at the beginning of a book I read recently:

“Where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community. Where community is to be formed, common memory must be created.”
- Georges Erasmus

I went to a used book sale today where books were $1 each, and I think it is a sign of maturity or self control that I kept myself to just five books.
