Sometimes I think that blogs are dead, dying, passe, old news, yesterday's hotness. This might be true (I'm on Twitter!), but they've been saying the same thing about books ever since radios became widely available, and I still like me a good book (note ironical understatement). Thus, I come before you this day to recommend to you a new blog which I think is amazing.
Tom and I overlapped in seminary, though he was working on a doctorate in church history while I was a lowly MDiv student. He has an amazing memory for details and a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that that outranks my own easily. He's also a man of great faith as well as dedication to the church--a dedication that comes with a healthy skepticism as regards our fallen nature as an institution.
Tom has recently begun blogging under the name of "Crusty Old Dean", a reference to a favorite episode of The Simpsons as well as to his relatively new position as Dean of Bexley Hall Seminary. He is currently in the middle of an extended reflection on how the Episcopal Church governs itself.
So this might be of limited interest to you, depending on why you come to my website, but if you are involved in, curious about, have any love for The Episcopal Church, you really owe it to yourself to check out the Crusty Old Dean.
