For the past several months, the Rev. Susan Nanny has been creating pieces out of found wood, aged and fossilized through the journey down the Mississippi River. Nanny has been creating these pieces, not necessarily for exhibit or sale, and was surprised when a gallery owner asked if she would consider exhibiting them.
Vestiges is the name of the group show at PhD Gallery, 2300 Cherokee in St. Louis. The show runs from Oct. 3 through Nov. 14, with the opening reception Saturday night, Oct. 3rd, from 7-10 pm.

Things Sudan
I’m sitting in the Detroit airport, which is surprisingly familiar from the last Sudan mission. Today I’m on my way to England to attend a meeting of Blackmore Vale Deanery and discuss the possibility of a three-way relationship between us and Lui.
Even when Missouri isn’t actively preparing for a mission, there is always something happening on the companion diocese front. Recently we provided funds to buy a new generator because the old one had broken beyond repair. Our friend Stephen has been in Kampala to get a visa – he is attending a conference in Sweden next month. And our friend Margaret has been in Nairobi awaiting her US visa for studies at Eden, but she could not get an interview soon enough to start school this semester. (more…)

On Saturday 29th August 2009 I received reports from Wernyol, Twic East County, Jonglei State, that there had been another attack on the peoples of the area in which over forty people – men, women and children – were killed. Amongst the dead were Ven. Joseph Mabior Garang, Archdeacon of Wernyol and Archbishop’s Commissary in the new Diocese of Twic East, who was shot at the altar of the church in Wernyol during a service of Morning Prayer. Tens of others have been wounded, some very seriously with gun-shot wounds and broken limbs. Only a few of these have been taken to Juba Military Hospital, whilst the rest are still in Bor Hospital.

One of the many hats Sue Rehkopf wears is archivist of University City. Tomorrow, she’ll be on the St. Louis NPR radio affiliate KWMU 90.7 to discuss her part in rediscovering a musical composition, the Delmar Garden March (1909) by Ernesto Natiello.
In 1901 a racetrack and amusement park was built just west of the St. Louis city line and at the terminal loop of a streetcar route on Delmar Blvd, named Delmar Garden. Restaurants serving caviar, amusement parks, and vaudeville houses beckoned city dwellers. In her research, Rehkopf ran across mention of this composition, found a copy in a library in Kentucky, and brought it back to U City. She’d hoped to get someone to play it on the piano for her.
