Bishops Blogging...! Oh my, oh my! "House of Bishops 2.0"




Well, who knows who started it, but now we've got Episcopal and Anglican Bishops blogging, video blogging, facebooking, (twittering?), youtube-ing, and the rest. I think it is great, actually, and so glad that some of them are realizing the possible benefits of embracing (with good Anglican intentionality, of course) Web 2.0...

The Dean of the Phoenix Cathedral, Nicholas Knisely made a presentation to the House of Bishops here in the US about the benefits of blogging, so I am waiting to see who else might jump on the bandwagon.



More on the Bishops Blogging over at Episcopal Cafe

Is your bishop blogging?

You'll see a few that I've linked on the left side of the page.

Here's a sample, and there will be more to come, I'm sure.

Let me know if you know others who are blogging (or Twittering), there are already a few on Facebook, but I'm
on a Facebook Fast for Lent...

Peace and Blessings,

Gandhi Quote - "apply the following test"

A shoutout goes to Bishop Marc Andrus of the Diocese of California who has posted this quote, and felt it was well worth quoting again:


"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melting away."
~Mahatma Gandhi, 1947
