The lessons in this book are those Schmidt did not and probably could not have learned in school. They aren't so much facts and concepts as states of mind and acts of will. Most of the lessons contained in the book came to the author through trial and error and reflecting on mistakes and misunderstandings. Some emerged out of a time and pain and disillusionment. It is when a relationship is strained, a project botched, or an idea scorned that creative...

Author
Description
Anglicanism world-wide faces many problems in the post-Empire era. Churches that were originally founded as colonial and missionary outposts by Great Britain and the United States have now become autonomous Anglican provinces; and what used to be a predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon group of churches in the northern hemisphere has become a truly global community, most of whose members live in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. Using the experience...

Dios mandó solemnemente que santificáramos las fiestas. En los Evangelios son numerosas las referencias a banquetes y celebraciones, también en las parábolas. En la Iglesia, la fiesta es el centro de la liturgia. Sin embargo, el cristiano corre el riesgo de ver solo un futuro sombrío, de impacientarse con sus defectos, o de ver a Dios como un ser estricto y distante. Envidia entonces la felicidad de quienes carecen de fe y parecen gozar con su...

La Pasión de Jesús nos habla de su amor por nosotros, un amor infatigable, incondicional, infinito, lleno de "locuras". Nadie nos ama como Él.
Es lógico que el cristiano medite a menudo lo sucedido en aquella primera Semana Santa: el lavatorio de los pies, la institución de la Eucaristía, la Pasión y muerte de Jesús, la amorosa esperanza de María durante el Sábado Santo, y la resurrección y apariciones de Jesús a sus discípulos.

The Bible contains many stories of what might be called 'bit players'; those who appear briefly, sometimes only for a few verses, and are not central to the narrative, but who still play a significant role. These old stories feature and were written by people with whom we share a common humanity and whose encounters with God have much to teach us. In their stories we see something of our own stories and, if we listen aright, we can hear the divine...
