Thanks for a great weekend!

Lori and I had a fabulous weekend meeting so many new friends in Virginia. On Friday we met 75 wonderful people at Westminster-Canterbury, and then we met another couple hundred at Shrine Mont. We learned new names, answered a few questions, and we laughed and danced, and we ate too much food. We had a wonderful weekend. And it was my honor to celebrate my first Eucharist in Virginia in the outdoor sanctuary of Shrine Mont, the official cathedra of the diocese. Thanks to all who made this such a great weekend, and for the warm and genuine greeting.

A word on words...

It is my hope that this blog will be a place of dialogue and conversation. But please consider that you are a guest in someone's home (mine). Angry yelling may work for talk-radio, but it doesn't work here. Take your anger elsewhere. Present your point of view respectfully, and be open to others having a different point of view. Be respectful. Have a conversation. Take a deep breath before you hit the "submit" button.

And, I shouldn't have to spell this out, but I will:

1- Comments that are hateful toward any individual or groups will be removed. Period.

2- Comments that promote a commercial product will also be removed.

3- Keep it tasteful; use common sense and watch your language (this is a church blog).

4- I will not be drawn into arguments with anyone leaving an anonymous posting. You can leave an opinion anonymously, and if it is respectful, I will leave it stand. But do not expect a response from me. Conversation requires both parties introducing themselves. You know who I am, so have the courage of your convictions and stand by your comment with your name. Then we'll talk.

The name of this blog is Fiat Lux -- "Let There Be Light." So, please, shed light, not heat.
