OPINION
Sports 'shorts' a welcome donation
[Episcopal Life] When Bob Schwoch of St. James Episcopal Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, started planning an outing to a Milwaukee Admirals hockey game, a billboard at the arena caught his eye. "Boxer Shorts Night," said the sign at the Bradley Center, just blocks from St. James.
The first 3,500 fans in attendance were to receive a free pair of boxer shorts emblazoned with the Admirals logo.

Review: ALL GOD'S CREATURES The Blessing of Animal Companions
By Sister Mary Winifred
[Episcopal Life] Author of many books of Christian spirituality, Debra Farrington has written a guide for those who want and feel a deep spiritual bond with their companion animals. From the beginning, Farrington eschews the terms "pet" and "owner" in favor of stressing that we humans are companions with the other animals. Author of many books of Christian spirituality, Debra Farrington has written a guide for those who want and feel a deep spiritual bond with their companion animals. From the beginning, Farrington eschews the terms "pet" and "owner" in favor of stressing that we humans are companions with the other animals. Her most important premise is that, by taking an animal into our home, we are establishing a covenant with that animal; and because that covenant is a long-term commitment, Farrington cautions her readers to consider carefully and wisely before entering that path.
