If I had a hammer ...

January 2004. Bishop Tod Brown fastens his Covenant with the Faithful to the doors of his multi-purpose worship space.

May 2005. The Rev. Professor Matthew Fox appends his 95 Faith Observations to his weekly newsletter.

What is it with these Wittenberg wannabes? They choke up on a hammer like a nine-year-old girl holding a cake decorator. Had Luther anticipated Fox by using a mason's hammer to sink a three-penny finishing nail into fibro-board, the Reformation would have ended thirty seconds after its beginnings, with sniffling and a tearful sucking of fingers.

Methinks Holy Mother Church will survive the assaults. (Thanks to L.A. Catholic for the heads up.)
