This has been a very difficult two weeks. Classes have us all at our wits end. The Anglican Communion drama is still going on and we are all still fit-to-be-tied. All-in-all, things have been better.
There is a large contingent from the seminary going up to Gene Robinson’s consecration. I decided not to go early on, for a variety of reasons. I think I have changed my mind. There are a bunch going up just on Sunday for the consecration and then returning, same day. I’m trying to get a ticket and hopefully I will be able to attend. The type of language coming out of the American Anglican Council convinced me I should go. They are so strident and absolutist, and wrong.

“Some things hurt us; we hope they will not happen again; we call them bad. Some things please us; we hope they will happen again; we call them good.” (Thomas & Wondra, Introduction to Theology, p.153) From a quote by Temple, concerning redefining sin in our modern era surrounding the notion of self-centeredness.

Well, “Law & Order” will be filming here sometime this week. It never ends.

I was wrong. They have not been filming “Law & Order” these past couple of days. They are filming a new movie entitle, supposedly, “The House of D,” staring Robin Williams. There are a whole heck of a lot of people roaming around. Most of the shooting seems to be taking place in Hoffman, my building, in the gym and Refectory. It seems to be set in the 1970’s – funny seeing all these people dressed up in what is now absurd (although quite retro-chic) 1970’s clothing.
So, look for the movie, and if you see it you will see General Theological Seminary!

Ashton is here now. We are going to see a movie in a bit, walk Daq later this evening, and we will not forget FOOD!

Law and Order is here in force this morning. I’m not sure how long or for which series, but I have never seen so many people with such an array of equipment and supplies for any of their previous shoots. It looks like they will be here for quite a while. It is fun and interesting to watch. I’m amazed at how much effort, how much equipment, and how many people it takes to produce a one hour series.
