Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return…. Photographed at the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined….  For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called [...]

The region of Hinterland Orkney takes its looks and atmosphere from the RL Orkney Islands off the northern coast of Scotland.  You cannot call it a desolate place, depending on what part you’re in; but it is rocky and hilly, and the North Sea climate is not given to large stands of trees together.  It’s [...]

During this time of the year, I like to take a look at one or two churches beyond my own virtual parish of the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life.  This year I’m returning to Finland, in a sense, for one. The Ristikiven kirkko, or Stone Cross Church, is a Finnish Lutheran church, located on an [...]

I am once again hosting the Holy Family for a day and a night during the Anglican Cathedral’s Advent Posada pilgrimage.  If anyone would care to stop by, the statues will be at my Oasis Hospitality Floor until 11:00 a.m. SLT on December 13.  Follow the SLurl.  There will be refreshments available on a side [...]

Saint George’s Church is a Catholic church institution, administered by the German Archdiocese of Freiburg, as you can see from the flag in front of the door.  They hold periodic prayer services — the schedule is [...]

Regular readers will know that I am an attendee at the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life, in Epiphany region.  But there are other churches scattered throughout the Grid.  I published photos on Flickr last Christmas time of the Finnish-style Riihikirkko in Bongo region, and of the non-denominational Church of the Dawn Treader in Born.  As [...]

No, you Python-heads, not in that way.  (Sheesh) In “reality,” the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life had a visit from its Bishop, the Right Rev. Tom Brown of Wellington, New Zealand. The parish had been preparing for this stop-in, and there was a good turnout for him, some thirty avatars, according to the report from [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve had anything of large substance to say about the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life. My last piece on them was about the “wild” garden outside the close, back in July. The Cathedral team has plenty to say themselves, though. Here is their leadership report for this month, at their [...]
