It's been too long since I've updated. We'll it's rainy today. Really rainy. (We need it.) It's too bad it rained today. Winchester is having its International Dogwood Festival this weekend. Not too many people are likely to come out for that. We're not.

The bright side is I'm back to writing an update for Penguin Postings. (Now I'm an optimist?)

This is All Saint's Chapel, the University of the South's campus chapel. We, associates of the seminary, don't normally worship here. Holy Week was an exception. For the "smells and bells" of Holy Week to be in such an impressive setting is very powerful. Maundy Thursday's "stripping of the alter" in that space accompanied by the lights being extinguished was quite moving. Although I did not attend the Holy Saturday/Easter Vigil, Monkey-Girl tells me that it too was a powerful service.

The long and short of it is this: if you come to visit, you will see All Saint's. It's a beautiful worship space, and a trip to Sewanee would be lacking without taking it in.
