A Time of FellowshipHey there, Reader! I was very blessed this year to be able to attend the 2023 AALC Pastor's Conference. I got to spend just about a week hanging out with brother seminarians and AALC pastors. It was such a wonderful time! The hotel was very accommodating and had one of those 'make your own waffle' waffle-irons that I love. We spent most of the day listening to presentations by Rev. Dr. Alfonso Espinosa which were very engaging and insightful. And each evening we had a full Divine Service with The Sacrament. It was truly a wonderful time! Here are some pictures of the whole thing, if you want: The Paul-Side GambitOne of the things that happened at the Pastor's Conference was position paper on women's ordination presented by the Pirate Christian himself, Pr.

23 November 23 Psalm 136 “ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. — Psalm 136:1-3 This is such a wonderful Psalm, especially today. I'm sure I could spend time (and much digital ink) on the common refrain, "His Love Endures Forever." Instead, though, I would like to meditate on some of the pieces of this Psalm and how they apply to us directly. Verses...
