Essays on Spirituality

The Rev. Canon Ralph McMichael, canon theologian for the Diocese, has a collection of essays he has written on various topics of spirituality, liturgy, and worship. You can access these essays by going to http://www.esmmo.org/dean.html.

Weekly Bulletin Commentaries

The Rev. Steve Weissman, a retired priest who last served the Pike County congregations and still leads Education for Ministry (EFM) groups in the Diocese, is offering subscriptions to a weekly bulletin insert with commentaries on the Sunday readings. The brief commentaries cover the Old Testament reading, the Psalm, the Epistle or New Testament reading, and the Gospel. They fill a half sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper, making them ideal for inserting in Sunday bulletins.

For more information, contact Weissman at (314) 772-8263.
