Ken’s e-Pistle – January 10, 2024

Ken's e-Pistle January 10, 2024 We were all saddened to learn of the passing of Coy Temples this past week.  As I mentioned in Worship, he was a remarkable scholar, veteran, barrister, judge, presbyter and friend.

Ken's e-Pistle January 3, 2024 Some years back, probably more than I want to remember now, I took a personal retreat at a monastery.  This particular group of religious men observed a discipline called Canonical Hours.  It outlined times of work and prayer in such a way that you became keenly aware of the [...]

Ken’s e-Pistle – December 6, 2023

Ken's e-Pistle December 6, 2023 We are now deeply into Advent, the season of waiting.  Sometimes it hurts to have to wait, but the final result is worth it. I have a friend who serves as an officer on one of the big submarines stationed at King’s Bay, near St. Mary’s, GA.  One of [...]
