Amid mixed feelings about his leadership, the Very Rev. Robert Taylor resigned as dean of St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle yesterday.

Somehow, liturgy is condemned to be out of date, old, and of a mythic past. Out of this comes a sense of transcendence, a mystical, ineffable, sense of floating gift, by which we can come together more and have a new attitude in one’s step and underline the ethical way we should reach out to one another. One of the difficulties in Anglicanism today is that for many this simply is not good enough.

“Members of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin are gathering in Stockton, California, March 28 to take two major steps in reorganizing the diocese. The first step will be a “service for healing and forgiveness” at the Episcopal Church of St. Anne in Stockton, the temporary home of the diocese.” Following that a special convention will be held at St. John the Baptist in Lodi for the purpose of re-organizing the diocese whose most recent convention voted to leave the Episcopal Church.

There have been a number of essays posted in the secular media over the past two weeks which have attempted to put the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright’s sermons about racism in the United States into some sort of broader context. But there have also been a few helpful essays written from within the religious community.

The blogger Aaron Orear has posted a lovely story of interfaith religious cooperation at his local cleaners. It’s a reminder that while there are certainly tensions between christians and muslims, there are still plenty of hopeful signs all around us that we can live and work in harmony with each other.
