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."

Rosh Hashanah
I love Shofar Callin', which is odd because generally I don't listen to rap, not that I don't like it necessarily, it just isn't really part of my reportoire. Sundown this evening marks the end of Rosh Hashanah. So, I thought this would make a great Friday traditio. Plus, as mentioned last Saturday, I read Marek Halter's Sarah, which, while not a great work of literature by any stretch, is a very imaginative and interesting re-telling of the story of Abraham and Sarah, written in the voice of Sarah. Additionally, I am most of the way through Kugel's fantastic book on the Jewish Scriptures.
