The colours work together a bit better than St Mike’s. Though I prefer how NA robes close instead of being open like UK robes.

This is probably a millennial-academic thing, but I'm always shocked when I am perceived as an adult by other adults. This dinner with our international students was excellent, and I can't believe there's a public photo of me looking like I know what I'm doing. news.mcmaster.ca/in-photos-ha...

I think most people would be shocked to discover that there are places outside Europe and North America that were doing this before they were even born

Reading this kind of thing boils my blood. I understand if you want an institution that aligns a certain way theologically. But how does this sort of sentiment not lead to the creation of ideologues rather than students? Which, isn’t that typically the conservative argument against “liberalism”?

In an act of pure vanity, I finally went to one of the main libraries here at McMaster and found my book on the shelf.
It's two over from Jenson's /Visible Words/, the book which essentially set me down this path (besides also reading Hilary at the same time). That is just wild to me.

I forgot to share a pic of this ordination gift that was given to me by my current parish of our patron. Absolutely incredible work. (Framed by two of my son’s patron saints, Green Monster Truck and Ambulance)

Does anyone else have a running list shared with your partner helping decode what the hell your toddler is trying to say when asking for a specific Bluey episode? No? Just me?

Not sure if there's anyone over here yet that's interested in the work of Robert Jenson, but I was honoured to write a little and be a part of this special issue of the Canadian-American Theological Review based on a panel we had last year on classical theism. Let me know if you're interested in it!
