This is Robin Walker's blog.
I am the Dean of the Diocese of Brandon & Rector of St. Matthew's Anglican Cathedral, in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. I have been in this ministry since January of 2003.
My big interest is "preaching among exiles," to borrow a term from Walter Brueggemann.
This blog is mainly devoted to my sermons, and the sometimes circuitous process by which I get to them, as well as current issues in church life as I experience them. I welcome constructive comment on the content of my personal posts. Comments on linked articles should be directed to the appropriate authors. Note that this is a moderated blog. I will not accept comments dealing with local and/or personal issues.
The main page usually contains only material from the current week. Past articles are found in other categories.
I invite you to visit the website of St. Matthew's Cathedral, at www.mts.net/~stmatt/

Readers of this blog may notice that an entire category of posts has been deleted, along with all of its contents. "Life in the Church" was an archive of material commenting on events in my ministry, and in the wider church. Some of it was ephemera, other material was available elsewhere. One article in particular, "A Message from our Provincial Bishops," dating from November 2008, was the single most popular document on this blog, likely because it was linked from some other site. Obviously, that link is now inoperative. The number of calls to it distorted the site statistics, which is at least part of my reason for deleting the category as a whole. The other is that I wish to focus more attention on the process of sermon preparation, and less on personal and church events. There are plenty of sites providing church news of all kinds. I am choosing not to put so much personal material up here, so one other change is the deletion of pictures of my grandchildren. |
