ANGLICAN BLOGGING 101
You’d be surprised how often an Anglican story contains too many jokes:
A celebration to honor the first 25 years of the Episcopal Preaching Foundation began with a memory that pointed to the future.
It is, of course, tempting to insert some snark here about how the Foundation’s motto is “Making Roman Catholics Feel Better About Their Homiletics Since 1988″ or something along the lines of “We Show Christendom How Not To Preach.” But once you do that, you run smack dab up against this:
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, who was a PEP participant in 1993 [and who recently preached this sermon. - Ed], held two question-and-answer sessions with the participants on May 29 and 30, and spoke about the changing nature of preaching. She also presided and preached during Eucharist on May 30.
And you realize that some jokes can only write themselves.
