Silky Vestments



Brother Wes Browning seems just a little too infatuated with the nearness of all us clergy types at the City Hall Tent Meeting. Apparently finding out that we aren't all child-beating Old Testament patriarchal types has poked a hole in the thin veneer of his reality.

His infatuation in Real Change focuses on "silky vestments." I believe I should take Brother Wes to Kauffer's Catholic Bookstore and we shall show him how easy it is to dress for success; priesthood of all believers, you know?

More pooh


From last night's campout:


Operation Nightwatch has issued an honorary one-night bar to Dr. Wes Browning, for failing to show up for his designated shelter space, resulting in turn-aways from the Nightwatch tent. Some poor homeless guy had to do the burrito imitation (you know, roll up in your Army blanket and maybe lay on the cardboard, plastic wrapped if lucky).

So, Dr. Wes, you're on your own tonight. Mark it down, March 14, 2008.

Good luck. Rick
