My experience is that it varies widely. For me, I’ve just had too much Barthian/Lutheran folks influencing me to preach a sermon without 1) sticking close to the texts at hand, and 2) getting “to” Christ (unconditional grace-gospel type language). The solid teachers I try to emulate all do these.

Sorry to chime-in randomly, but I’ve done several of these for my own formation process. They are great! Pretty low-impact work-wise, but very stimulating. Could scratch the itch if you want to be growing your sense of Episcopal identity.

We go every couple years for the summer months. Normandy is a beautiful part of France!

Glad to be here! Where in France are you? My wife’s family lives near Chantilly (haut de France)

Do you know when the Audible will be released in the U.S.? Really looking forward to listening!

We just got Promissio in English a couple days ago. I’m not seeing much interest in Bayer in English apart from the Lutheran Quarterly circles, which is sad. He cuts me deep.

Do you think they will ever translate this one into English?

You should read her commentary on the Tao te Ching if you get a chance. Super interesting.

I typically read all the scripture offices in morning prayer, so for me evening prayer is more about…letting go? The examen might be helpful if that is your goal as well.
