Lent I: Lead Us Not Into Temptation

I'm heading as far away from Anglican politics as I can get ... to a Santa Monica party celebrating St. Oscar of Hollywood Day. But before I do, wanted to commend Elizabeth Kaeton's excellent words from this morning: The First Temptations of Christ ... found here on her blog "Telling Secrets."

We have, like Jesus, been tempted to worship the false god of Unity, rather than the God who created the wondrous paradox of the diversity of humanity.

And let the church step away from that temptation. And let the church say "Amen."
