Overdue Aardies
Wherein we catch up on bestowing the Golden Aardvark Aaward.
It's been over two months since we last listed a group of posts meriting the AARDIE (Aardvark Award for Raillery, Doctrine, or Intellect in Exposition). As always, I choose honorees according to specific, yet ever-changing subjective criteria known only to the inner recesses of my fevered mind. Thus, "winners" should accept their accolades with somewhere between a pinch of salt and an entire shaker-full while "losers" should realize that I'm a cartoonish character bestowing a cartoonish honor, so maybe those who aren't selected are the true winners.
Anyhow, if you wish to display the award on your own blog, please copy and upload it yourself rather than stealing bandwidth from Pastor Snyder, who graciously hosts the graphics at his Xrysostom domain.
‡ Dan at Necessary Roughness comments upon what happens of a Sunday morning and what the true essentials of church might be in Liturgy, Hymnody, Homily.
‡ The Louisiana Conservative has posted several spot-on parodies of churches and sermons. My favorite so far remains First Church of Democrats.
‡ Simil Justus et Peccator isn't just a slogan, it's a statement of fact for the Christian, as Amor et Labor reminds us.
‡ Deviant Paradigm: Of the Wolf Within offers a longish but well-worth-reading post that examines faulty argumentation on homosexuality in The Big Gay Post.
‡ Does ELCA need A Dividing Hymnal? Of course not, argues the author of Personal Diatribes.
‡ Read Broken, Brackish Mountain from Masks of God and you'll probably figure out why I wish Bill would post more often.
‡ Yeah, a Christmas-themed post from Rev Cwirla's Blogosphere might seem dated, but his Focus on the Family is appropriate ecclesiology, no matter the season.
‡ Posts about life issues abound. One of the most cogent, succinct expositions on in vitro fertilization (IVF) that I've discovered is Baby, It's Cold Inside from Madre's Missives.
That's it for now. DV, the next batch will come before the parousia (maybe even before the Pascha). ¶ 15:49 |
