I am thinking of all the spaces I have known where people of different opinions and backgrounds came together around a common goal and learned to live in community. Over the past twenty years, I've been a part of these kinds of spaces, and it's been my experience that nearly all of them have done one of three things. Read more

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?

Last updated on: December 31, 2022 at 1:34 pm   By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

There are some things we have had the curtain pulled back on that will never shut. There are some paths we have gone down which prevent us ever going down other paths. Would I take back all that knowledge in order to get next-day delivery from Amazon Prime? Probably not. Well, maybe. Read more

All the Rings of Power Reviews I Wrote During the Show

Last updated on: November 19, 2022 at 6:48 pm   By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

While I am consumed by writing projects over here and unable to have coherent new thoughts, let me repost these from Facebook – presented without comment and as I wrote them while the show was going on. Including my biggest ever prophetic fail, as you will see… One: A Shadow of the Past Two: Adrift It looks gorgeous and it looks like Tolkien. Wonderful maps. Lindon was breathtaking and easily believable as something that Lothlórien would later echo in a... Read more

The King, The Goat, and the Book of Common Prayer

Last updated on: September 12, 2022 at 9:27 pm   By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

When I was a young and eager post-Vatican-II-influenced liturgy geek with an idealistic mania for displacing my elders, I used to think you could use liturgy for education. Now I know I was wrong. First of all, there are no modern people. There are just people. Secondly, liturgy can and will teach you, but that's not why you do it. You do it so that it gets into your bones, so that it holds you up in times of tragedy, so that it gives you words that are not your own to say to God when you can't come up with any words of your own. Read more
