Assorted essays, sermons, observations, reviews, and general grumbling, mostly (though not necessarily all) having to do with the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion
Thanks for your note, muthah+. Of course you're right, and Mimms and the GAFCON gang can't do anything we don't allow them to do. (I've just begun to read "The Way, The Truth and the Life"; comments in due course!)
No, we're high and dry, but a considerable number of people aren't. Some homes in Iowa City and Coralville were pretty well wiped out, though more of the damage was on the campus and in some commercial districts (though not downtown). Cedar Rapids and some other cities were hit very hard, both in the downtown and in residential areas. Thanks very much for your prayers. ERD is helping. (FEMA, so far, not so much.)
The Rev. Canon William S. J. Moorhead ("Fr. Bill") -- About 20 years of parish ministry in Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, plus 2+ years early on as a novice in the Order of the Holy Cross (a great experience, but not my vocation), and 1+ years as interim Episcopal chaplain at the University of Iowa. Then 15 years in the Office of Student Affairs and Curriculum at the University of Iowa College of Medicine (now retired), and also serving as non-stipendiary priest associate at Trinity Episcopal Church, Iowa City, Iowa, and doing supply ministry all over eastern Iowa. In 2016 the Diocese of Iowa recognized my fifty years of ordained ministry by making me an Honorary Canon of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul.

Bill, the likes of Mimms can't destroy anything unless we allow him to. Yes, the Church is going to look different, but it will be better for it.
Hope you are not having to swim these days. Keeping you folks in IA in prayer.
