BREAKING NEWS: UUs to Join Episcopals

Last updated on: December 11, 2007 at 7:47 am   By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Whodathunk, Missouri – In a move that some are hailing as “Well, Duh,” seventeen (16) congregations of Unitarian Universalists have signed an agreement of intent to join in full Eucharistic Communion with the Episcopals. “Why not tie the knot?” said Jeff Jefferson of Jeffords Ford. “We’ve been watching the Episcopals for some time now. Oh sure, they’ve been getting some bad press — but it’s all good by us! One says heresy, another says hooray!” Shannon Ford of West Jefferson... Read more

Did you read about that Baby Jesus that was recently stolen from someone’s yard? Oh, I’m sure more than one Baby Jesus has been stolen this year – perhaps even in your town! Well, I decided to do something about it … I became an Investigator. The other day I went door-to-door in my neighborhood in search … of Baby Jesus. My first stop was the home of Minerva Simmons, aged 73, on Tomball Drive. She’s the owner of the... Read more

I’m a bit put off that there was not a more sufficient waiting period. Scout’s honour, I’m writing just as fast as I can. Please, in the future dear publishers, be patient.

The Face of Santa

Last updated on: December 5, 2007 at 6:42 pm   By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Back in ’05, I received the following note from a reader: I caught this [show on the Discovery Channel] on Christmas day. It was a very interesting history about his life and how his relics had traveled. Then using the relics they reconstructed his face using forensics. My thoughts? Well, it just goes to show ya, scientists should always check with the Orthodox — it might save time, effort, and money: Icon of St Nicholas, 10-11th century, the Walters Art... Read more

Do you believe that I can do this?

Last updated on: December 3, 2007 at 10:19 am   By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

“If God doesn’t destroy America, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology!” Sayings such as this are popular in the editorial pages of local newspapers – everything from wishing the destruction of homosexuals to the angrily penned words hailing the inevitable fall of America. They spew forth from talk radio, political speeches, even pulpits and mosques. “The wrath of God is coming! “A hard rain’s gonna fall!” Even goofy bumper stickers …“The goddess is coming and boy is she [ticked]!”... Read more

Judas, Judas, Judas … Do Ya Love Me?

Last updated on: December 2, 2007 at 10:04 am   By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following snippet of an Op-Ed piece on the “Gospel of Judas” by April D. DeConick, a professor of Biblical studies at Rice University, speaks volumes about our current situation. In an age of instant gratification, scholarship is often out the window in favor of the quick fix (fix as in a fixed fight). Yet, it’s times like these that encourage good parenting. You know, where you, as parent, have to hold to the truth — even when continually challenged... Read more
