St. John’s Savannah is probably best categorized as Evangelical High Church or Evangelical Catholic in the sense of William Augustus Muhlenberg. Perhaps the most classically High Church parish in the US is St. Thomas Fifth Avenue.

Welcome to the blogosphere. It’s not exactly quill pen & parchment, but it’s all we who lack a publisher got.

Now, now Dug, you Romanists were not at all the ones at whom my “pseudo-papists simpering in closets” comments were directed. Careful reading of my text will reveal that I was referring to Anglo-Catholics, not Roman Catholics, so unless you have hopped the Tiber and gone off on the Canterbury trail since last we spoke, you are safe from my ire.

Hear, hear, Alistair! I’m presently dining alone outdoors at 10 p.m. at a sidewalk cafe in Stuttgart, Germany. It’s an extraodinarily unfamiliar (and intriguingly unprecedented) circumstance for me. You have provided me with about the best proxy for dinnertime conversation I could have imagined.

Mind you, I think you mistaken at points (there is nothing pseudo about my papism, nor am I aware of anything simpering, closeted, or homosexual in my constitution), but such are the nuances and controversies best hashed out over beer and pipes. (Though I imagine that, a liter into the weissebier, we’d soon forget the theology and devolve into dueling Eliot recitations, the likes — and volume — of which would clear the surrounding tables of any timid patrons.

I have little to offer in interpretation of your dream, at least without further elucidation. Was the airship a dirigible, or were there propellers involved?

I do know selected “Selected Shorts” and enjoy it very much. If I were to read a piece, I believe my style of delivery would do well with Mark Twain’s “Concerning Tobacco”. There is another, far lesser known piece called “At the Bureau” by Steve Rasnic Tem of which I have always been fond and that I have recited with great success at a few gatherings.

Alastair,

I do not think I could write nearly so well about myself. It reads like a 19th century novel; the style reminds me of George Elliot, maybe Middlemarch. It does seem that your natural habit would be the English moors.I enjoyed your bio. Write more.

Do you know the NPR program “Selected Shorts”? If you were to read aloud a piece of literature, say a short story, to a group, what would you pick?
