Library resources
From Martina, a Reference Librarian at the Albright Memorial Library in Scranton, PA who writes at Notes from a Reference Libarian: New Titles in the Local History Collection
Many of you may not know, but we have a nice collection of resources on the Polish National Catholic Church. These are local and non local resources about the origins and other information about the Polish National Catholic Church. If you are unfamiliar with this church here is a link that explains the history.
As I said we have two new books both on the Polish National Catholic Church. The first book is
- Journeying Together in Christ: The Report of the Polish National Catholic-Roman Catholic Dialogue
- Journeying Together in Christ: The Journey Continues.
These are available in the Local History Collection at the Scranton Public Library. You are unable to check out these resources, but you may look at them in the library.

PNCC member authors book on New Jersey’s maritime history
Kevin Olsen, a chemist on the staff of Montclair State University and a member of Holy Cross PNCC in West Paterson, New Jersey has authored a book on the maritime history of New Jersey’s bays and rivers. A Great Conveniency – A Maritime History of the Passaic River, Hackensack River, and Newark Bay describes the roles these waterways played in the development of riverfront towns. Covering the history of the area from the earliest European explorers, through the boom in growth at the Port of Newark, and current challenges in river revitalization, the book is a ode to and exploration of man’s relationship with the waterways that service, help, and entertain him.
Propositions on Christian Theology: A Pilgrim Walks the Plank
Ben Myers of Faith & Theology has several postings on Propositions on Christian Theology, a new book by Kim Fabricius. See Propositions on Christian theology: a new book by Kim Fabricius! and Endorsements for Kim’s new book.
The book consists of Mr. Fabricius’ “10 propositions” series as well as poetry and hymns he has written. These propositions have informed many of my homilies. They are more than an exposition of thoughts, or rubrics on theology, they are an series of unveilings. Each word and phrase takes you deeper and deeper into our life in God, opening new doors, new expectations. Before you know it, you begin to imagine yourself as someone who can understand the deepest theology. You begin to think that you can comprehend God.
The following is from Mike Higton’s foreword:
You will find some propositions in this book on dull sermons and others on holy laughter, some on the Nicene Creed and others on the nature of heresy, some on human sexuality and others on all-too-human hypocrisy, some on the role of angels and others on the location of hell, and still others on fasting and feasting, peace and policing, grace and gratitude —“ but don’t be fooled into thinking that it is simply a scattershot miscellany. Proposition by proposition, aphorism by aphorism, this book provides a solid training in how to think theologically —“ how to break and remake your thought in the light of God’s grace.
I highly recommend Propositions on Christian Theology: A Pilgrim Walks the Plank (Carolina Academic Press, 2008), 228 pp. It is currently available from Amazon, or at a pre-publication discount from the publishers.
Interesting sign at Borders Books
1I was browsing through the Borders at Crossgates Mall in Albany today.
I saw the religion section from a distance and walked over. I was particularly interested in the signs they had pointing to “Christian Fiction.”
I figured millenialist books and similar, perhaps a few other things.
Guess what I found?
Bibles and Concordances.
That about sums up the world’s attitude toward Christianity, and most faith for that matter, excepting whatever people define as their personal brand of quasi-religious “spirituality.” I give them some credit for avoiding the soft-soap approach toward their attitude.
Side note, witchcraft, tarot, etc. were in a section all their own labeled “Mysticism.”
St. John of the Cross, pray for us.
All Holy Visionaries and Mystics, pray for us.
On Spong’s Jesus
Ben Myers dissects John Shelby Spong’s Jesus for the Non-Religious at Faith and Theology:
Bishop Spong’s Jesus may be useful and consoling, then, but he is not especially interesting, much less unique. He poses no threat, no challenge. He makes no demands. He tells us nothing that we didn’t know already. And for just that reason, it’s hard to see why —the non-religious— —“ or anyone else, for that matter —“ should have any special regard for this Jesus.
