		<title>LGBT theology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To Bishop Spong, the debate is over but in case you don&#8217;t agree I&#8217;ll add my view. It seems that much &#8211; if not most &#8211; of the scriptural basis for considering homosexuality as sin can reasonably be interpreted as referring to homosexual rape rather than homosexuality itself. Don&#8217;t throw Leviticus into the argument unless [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recruiting generation Y</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems pretty clear that there are worldwide hard times ahead.  It also seems pretty clear that the Episcopal church in its present form is going to have a more and more limited role in shaping the path that our society takes in navigating the troubles of the future.  The aging of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life after the sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The wardens comments from the fall 2009 &#8220;Chronicles of St. Paul&#8217;s Willimantic:&#8221; Changes in how we function (other than getting some underused space cleaned out) have been minimal.  the big change is that we don&#8217;t have to think about property management in general and the roof in particular!  Having property issues become someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Global warming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As far as I can see there is overwhelming evidence that global warming is real, rapid and at the very least partly driven by human activities. Everything from plant hardiness zones moving north, melting sea ice, collapse of ice shelves, extremely rapid melting of glaciers and ice sheets, ecosystems moving towards the poles or to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Us vs the environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We humans and our technology always have been hard on the environment. Back about 13,000 years ago, in America, the Clovis people developed a way of making very effective spears for hunting mammoths. In a span of at most 450 years these huge mammoths became extinct.  Whether Clovis hunting was the prime cause can be debated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflection for Sunday May 24</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For one in place of Judas
The apostles sought God’s choice
The lot fell to Matthias
For whom we now rejoice.
Today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles, written by Luke, is puzzling in some respects.  It seems that an important position had to be filled.  The twelve apostles were now only eleven in number.  Yet there were [...]]]></description>

		<title>The world in transformation I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What we do today – as an individual, as the church, as our society, as our species – will have an effect on tomorrows world.  We leave our footprints; some will fade with time, others won&#8217;t.  It can take hundreds of years to replenish an over pumped ancient aquifer, thousands to restore a heavily damaged [...]]]></description>

		<title>St. Paul&#8217;s in transformation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[St. Paul’s transformation story really starts with the arrival of Rev. Pat Gallagher as half time vicar back in th fall of 2004. From what I’ve heard, the time before her start was characterized by divisions and disagreements &#8211; as well as a a rather rapid burn through of the endowment. That period ended with [...]]]></description>
