25 September 2020 | Ember Friday | Eugene, Ore.

Long time, no see! I’ve been away from the microphone for almost two months, and in that time, I’ve been settling into a new routine at my pastoral year parish assignment here in Eugene, Oregon. In this episode, I’ll tell you what I’ve been up to, battling plague, wildfires, and spiritual attacks on all fronts! Also: does power corrupt a man’s character, or simply reveal what was already there? Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure begs the question. And just what are Ember Days, anyway? 

Opening music: Motet “Mulier quae erat in civitate,” composed by Luca Marenzio (1585), performed by Progetto Musica Ensemble, dir. Giulio Monaco, 2012. All rights reserved.
