To you before the close of day.... two of the velas (including mine) had gone out; otherwise it was a full house at the end of church today.
Dunno what the crack is… the furnace has been turned off so perhaps it is the building settling down into a cooler state of being.
Enjoy these velas, because it will be a while before I can find like ones.

“The Windsor report. It’s just a report. When did it become like the Bible? The Covenant. Why do we need another Covenant? We have the Baptismal Covenant. We have the Creeds. What else do we need?” Bishop Martín Barahona, former Primate of la Iglesia de la Región de Central América and Bishop of the Iglesia Anglicana Episcopal de El Salvador
About Me
- Caminante
- I am a life-long Episcopalian, who has been ordained since 1993. I was rector of a family-size congregation from 1994-2008 and and ended three years as priest in partnership at a pastoral-size congregation in Vermont's fourth-largest city (Rutland) in 2011. Now I am vicar of a tiny congregation in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I am involved in church governance at the diocesan, church-wide and international Anglican levels. I was a member of a CREDO faculty team working with the clergy and lay leaders of l'Eglise Episcopale d'Haiti. I also try to go to El Salvador a few times a year and am officially Canon Missioner of the Anglican Episcopal Church of El Salvador (since 2004). In 2007, I finished the 1570 km Chemin de Saint Jacques/Camino de Santiago de Compostela. I greatly enjoy hiking in the Vermont Greens and NH Whites and reflect on those hikes. In 2010 I also completed walking the 273 mile-long Long Trail in the Green Mountains of Vermont... maybe next the Appalachian Trail? Lastly but most important, I am a cat-fanatic. (N.B. Whatever I post here does not reflect either the opinions of my congregation or of The Episcopal Church but merely those of an individual.)

Qu'est-ce-que les "velas", s'il Vous plait?
Vous avez fait la journee a Compostela? Mon dieu!
Nous avons recu les deux aujourd'hui.
Ils sont a Votre?
:)
Congrats, caminante...
'Velas' — candles, votives. These votives reside by the Mary altar at Saint Mary's. Some Sunday nights there are only four burning but today by the time I left the church, all were... maybe that's because 2/3s of Naomi's family came to church.
Lovely.
