Dear Friends,

I have spent a week on top of a mountain in North Carolina.  It has been a rich time of prayer, study, reflection and mainly writing.  I have been in a PhD program for several years and given planting Incarnation, taking on Canterbury and last years nomination I have not had much time to devote to the dissertation.  I now find myself close to completing the first full draft and will soon enter a season of editing and hope to submit this work this summer.   I am writing on Visual Theology and specifically the use of media in liturgical worship.  It has been a journey through scripture, doctrine, history, spirituality and more to develop a practical application of media. Thanks for your prayers in this endeavor.

I return to Florida later this week.  Until then Pastor Robin is holding down the "fort".   

in the mission, 
Fr. Jon+

I was saddened to learn of Chuck Colson's passing.  The church this side of "Glory" is less without him, but Heaven is rejoicing!  There are lots of things you can read on the web concerning his amazing life and ministry. I had the privilege of meeting him last year at the inauguration of Don Sweating as the president of RTS / Orlando.  Don wrote a personal tribute and reflection about his friend CLICK HERE

A friend on facebook posted a link to an interesting interview of Russ Douthat with Bill Moyer and his book Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics.
