Dear Friends:
I am pleased to share my Anglican Journal column for March, in which I write hopeful developments in St. David's Calgary where I serve.
All the other content in this letter is new and hopefully helpful.

SPECIAL ITEM
Here is my March column, written for the Anglican Journal
It is entitled "Lessons in Hope from a Year Like No Other"
and in it I celebrate my home congregation for the good work
so many are doing to help us through difficult virus times.
I thank the Journal for supporting my appreciative efforts.
Some of you missed last week's Colleagues List
in which I featured a book suggestion "We Carry
the Fire" by colleague John Badertscher of Winnipeg.
I repeat the link here:

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
Solitude with God repairs the damage done
by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
- Oswald Chambers --
Education and justice are democracy's only life insurance.
- Nannie Helen Burroughs
--
I want a change, and a radical change.
I want a change from an acquisitive society
to a functional society, from a society of
go-getters to a society of go-givers.
- Peter Maurin
--
Christ was crucified because he would have nothing to do with the crowd (even though he addressed himself to all). He did not want to form a party, an interest group, or a mass movement, but wanted to be what he was, the truth, which is related to the single individual. Therefore everyone who will genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr. To win a crowd is no art; for that only untruth is needed, nonsense, and a little knowledge of human passions. But no witness to the truth dares to get involved with the crowd.
- Søren Kierkegaard

CLOSING THOUGHT - Arthur Ashe
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.
It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
- Arthur Ashe
