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 normally contains only material from the current week. Past articles are found in other categories.

St. Matthew's Cathedral, Brandon
The Cathedral was built in 1912, a year before the Diocese of Brandon officially existed. It is a remarkable testimony to the confidence of the people of this city in the pre-WWI period, when, in Laurier's words, everyone here believed that the 20th century belonged to Canada. WWI took the wind out of those sails, and it was 1924 before a Bishop could be elected to fill the see, and 1951 before the Cathedral lost its "pro-" status, only then being paid for.
