I was gratified to learn this evening that this blog, denoted in transliterated form as Catholikos Diakonos, has been nominated in several categories of the annual Catholic Blog Awards. The categories for which I am nominated are: Best Blog by Clergy/Religious/Seminarian, Best Written Catholic Blog, Most Informative & Insightful Catholic Blog, and Smartest Catholic Blog. In addition, our CL collaborative blog, Cahiers Peguy: the drama of Christian humanism, was nominated for Best Group Blog.
Without sounding too maudlin, or over-the-top, thank you. I am humbled. It is always nice to be encouraged and to receive validation, especially for an endeavor that truly comes from my soul and which I do not do competitively and could not do without a community.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
