Brekke Abroad: February 2012
http://brekkeabroad.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Reflection on Ash Wednesday. Last year on Ash Wednesday, I watched as the Body of Christ was fractured. I listened as a one clergy member’s theology took the Holy Bible and turned it into a weapon. Slings and arrows in the words of Joel. “Sound the trumpet” he proclaimed. Alert Christendom! There are Gays among the clergy! There are Gays among the ordianands! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Sunday, March 6, 2011. I've been to the Mountain Top. Well friends, it's been ages. I am paying the price of procrastination and haivng to lock myself away to write essays (like I should be doing now.). BUT, I wanted to announce that I preached my very first ever sermon this morning (first in my WHOLE life, can you imagine I got through 1.5 years of seminary without having to! Work of theological genius (right? And post it. :). I have ...

Trinity Hall in waiting. But the most exciting news is that I have an official church attachment. Actually, it’s more like a chaplaincy placement. I’ll be a chapel assistant at Trinity Hall, one of the Cambridge colleges! So Very. Exciting! Not my photo, but a lovely shot. I'll take some pictures soon. In which I...

Brekke Abroad: December 2012
http://brekkeabroad.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. The Reluctant Seminarian Returns…. It’s been nearly half a year since I’ve updated my blog. Some of it was the madness which surrounds graduating from seminary. Some of it was the emotional exhaustion of a summer unit of CPE (at a hospice no less! But, as a friend of mine says regularly, it’s time to fish or cut bait. It’s time to reinvigorate this blog, or close it down for good. I’m the Reluctant Sem...

Brekke Abroad: Being Ruth
http://brekkeabroad.blogspot.com/2013/02/being-ruth.html
The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. In case any of you who were hoping I’d update regularly once I re-vamped the blog, sorry to admit the cold hard truth. I will never make it as a professional writer because I procrastinate and have less than zero self-discipline. That’s why I’ll make an excellent pastor – right? So Ruth. That pesky Moabite who is so damn good. That you can’t help but like her. She works so damn hard in those fields,...Yep Bec...

The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Sunday, February 6, 2011. Epic Fail and Egypt. Don't be alarmed by the title - this post isn't about a potential for Epic fail in. Rather, it's a recaping of my re-evaluation of goals (i.e. the epic fail) and thoughts on what going on in Cairo (Egypt). Now, Egypt. There are so many things I could comment on!

The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. More pictures from Paris.because I just can't help it! The Eiffel Tower - it still takes my breathe away! The Rose line at San Sulpice - Da Vinci Code anyone? Miss Venus herself. It's phenomenal that she was carved by hand thousands of years ago. It's like a woman was frozen into the marble. What a blessing, a treat, a joy to see so much of this wide world. Monday, June 6, 2011. To hear Notre Dame filled with o...

Brekke Abroad: January 2012
http://brekkeabroad.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The International Adventures of the Reluctant Seminarian and Friends. Saturday, January 21, 2012. We are often asked to step outside of ourselves for the sake of the Word. God’s love is boundless, and we are asked to push past the artificial boundaries imposed by our culture and community to be an expression of God’s love. This “Holy Discomfort” is exactly how I started my New Year. Graduation) I get. Let me not get ahead of myself too much. Because New Years Day started off with a band (sort of). Preppi...
