Don’t have much time to write about this because I am tired from the proceedings, and am about to go to bed. The official history conference (encased like one of those Russian dolls inside the larger Trinity Fest) started today at the Kibbie Dome at noon. Great set-up there, and the folks at the Kibbie …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Two
We are most grateful to God. The day began wonderfully, with a joint worship service of Christ Church, Trinity Reformed Church, and Christ Church, Spokane, along with all the early arrivals for Trinity Fest. The Lord gave us a seven day work week, and each week we have the privilege of building everything we do …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day One
Of course, this is actually the pre-func stuff. Trinity Fest proper starts on Monday, but people are starting to roll in from all over, and the “kick-off” event tonight was the ball sponsored by NSA, what they call their “Windy.” The SUB ballroom was full tonight, with hundreds of people having a really good time. …
Reminder
I want to begin by reminding everyone (again) that the Christ Church worship service tomorrow has been moved in both place and time. We were originally scheduled to be at the Kibbie Dome at 10 am, and we have moved the services to be at the Logos Field House at 9 am. There is a …
Their Little Charade Parade
If the intolerista case against Trinity Fest (and other of our doings in Moscow) were a used sofa, there would be about seven springs poking up out of it. A number of them are in a dither because they have culled from some of my posted comments references to “battle” and whatnot, revealing thereby that …
Black and Tan Is Now Here
About halfway down this page on the right side, you can see the cover of the just released Black & Tan. That book is now available and the good folks at Canon Press are standing by to take your order (1-800-488-2034). Or, if you prefer, click on the picture here and order it on-line. There …
America the Christian
We have had some local kibbitzing about our upcoming history lectures at Trinity Fest, and our so-called “revisionism.” Critics of the thesis that America was an explicitly Christian nation in its establishment and founding often point to the first Treaty of Tripoli (1797), which concluded hostilities with the Barbary Pirates. In the course of that …
Something Wrong With His Typewriter
This morning I received a copy of an anonymous attack on various members of our churches, posted on the ever-reliable Venom 20/20. For those who know nothing of it, you have not really missed out. For those who are aware of this particular spray of bitterness, let this answer suffice. One of the temptations that …
Tomayto, Tomahto
An editorial writer for the Lewiston Tribune wrote that folks should “quit picking on” me, and I appreciate the sentiment. But this expression of charity was too much for one letter writer, a woman named Joan Opyr, who wrote an indignant response. It turns out that I have been picking on Moscow — for several …
Wahoo From the Yahoos
This falls under the heading of prayer request and thanksgiving. We are now in the week running up to our Trinity Fest, and all the indications show that we are set for a great conference. Registrations have been strong, the scheduled events are much broader and deeper than we used to have at the old …
