Blogito, ergo sum. I blog, therefore I am! Actually, "'Amor, ergo sum': I am loved, therefore I am" (N.T. Wright). Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. My blog is a public space to share thoughts about God and the world. My purpose is 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".

Bishop Wester in the Deseret News

Last Friday the LDS-owned Deseret News published a wonderful story on Bishop John Wester, who serves the Diocese of Salt Lake City. It is a generous and gracious article about a generous and gracious man. Bishop on a mission: Wester aims to maintain community cooperation, by Scott Taylor. I think it is very true that bridges are built between "those of different faiths are based in simple friendship and understanding."

Indeed, as Bishop Wester points out, "There are all kinds of values that we cherish together and so much we can do together," he said, adding that while doctrinal differences may exist, "you work on what is common."
