Easter Morning seems like a wonderfully appropriate moment to start discussing a coming transformation to one of the more popular blogs in the Episcopal blogsphere:
“Some time in the next week or two, Daily Episcopalian will undergo a significant change, from a stand-alone blog to one element of a larger site, and from a one-person enterprise to group-effort supported by almost two dozen writers and editors, and an as-yet-unknown number of visual artists.
Our aspiration is to create a visually appealing, intellectually stimulating, spiritually enriching and at least occasionally amusing site where Episcopalians and those interested in our Church can reflect upon contemporary life in a context informed by faith and animated by the spirit of charity.
Our aim is frankly evangelical. To the extent that we can speak intelligently, passionately, persuasively and truthfully, to the degree that we can manifest wisdom, humility and genuine concern for those we disagree with, we will succeed in drawing Episcopalians more deeply into their faith, and in persuading those without a spiritual home to explore our Church.”

Wonderful! We should all be doing this, I think. We’ve really got to start turning our attention outward to speak to and about the rest of the world; all the fighting is sapping our energy terrifically, and we just can’t accomplish anything by being so focussed on our own internal issues. The great shame of it is that we really have a lot to offer. So I’m very glad to read this.
Blessed Easter, Fr. Nick.
