For the next three weeks, this site will fall silent, as my wife and I take a much needed summer vacation. Some of that time will be spent in the company of our grandchildren, for which we give great thanks.
See you in September...

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/
