Matt and I spent a lovely hour with The Anglican (Canon David Roseberry) about his great new book for preachers, teachers, small group leaders and anyone who wants to think deeply about the scriptures and the feasts and fasts of the church: Ten Ways to Preach the Church Year. We also talk about writing on Substack and his brilliant series of articles, The Christ Church Stories, sharing memories from his 30 years as rector of Christ Church, Plano.
Also, I’m over in WORLD today if you want to check it out:
Being much addicted to asking Grok useless questions, and seeing that Dylan Mulvaney—a young man devoted to the idea that he can be a woman, or, according to the trans community, a “doll”—had finagled a trip to Morocco to ride a camel while holding a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier’s perfume, Divine, I wanted to know why. I typed in, “Why did Jean Paul Gaultier choose Dylan Mulvaney to promote the perfume, Divine?” Grok spewed forth a torrent of prose about a celebration of diversity and inclusivity. It also observed that the fragrance is a “celebration of femininity,” which “transcends traditional gender boundaries.” It offered me 15 websites if I wanted to know more. I do want to know more, but AI, thus far, doesn’t seem to be the place to find it.
Have a lovely day and here are some roses from my garden:
