Welcome to Attend Both
Sometimes, less is more. As we prepare ourselves for going to two services this coming August, one of the things we want to do is make our service of worship shorter. Not only so, but we want to do this by disciplined arrangement, and not by chopping things off arbitrarily. In order to do this …
Apologia for Trinity Fest
Periodically you see reminders in this place about our upcoming Trinity Fest, and that will of course continue to happen. But this post introduces a new feature, which is a periodic tidbit on what it is we think we’re doing. Trinity Fest is a descendant of the February history conference, which we held for many …

Cupboards Appearance in Spokane
This must be the season for shameless appeals. For our friends in the Spokane area, here is a reminder that Nate is going to be at Auntie’s Bookstore tonight (Wednesday, May 14th) at 7:30 pm, for a book signing. The store is one of my favorites, one I try to get to whenever I am in Spokane. …
