Excellent. Looking forward to it!

"Cracks are appearing in history" ... and in Reality, if I might add.

I know what you're saying, good doctor, but I'd want to say it like this: Cracks are appearing in non-reality, and reality is a-comin' back!!

I'm a newbie, only having read "A Wild Christianity, and "The Cross and the Machine." I was struck by their, for lack of a better word, profundity. The American Church, whatever that is, needs to hear what you have to say. Blessings, Brother!

Paul, would you consider writing a sequel (or maybe even a series of letters) to "The Basilisk"?

That short piece of fiction is tremendous. I have used it annually in my small hedge school, and my students (boys between 11-17) have been very impacted by it. I would very much like to read further correspondence between Bridget and her uncle Richard.

Can't wait for the Scriptorium!

Love your work, but a YouTube video is not a 'film'. Honestly I wouldn't know what to call it either though. I do like the look & feel of real film recorded on actual tape, that's long gone now though.

Sounds great. More and more I’m excited by writing which is itself a process of discovery. Looking forward to more writing about Christianity. In your interview with Bari Weiss you mentioned that your wife follows a different faith tradition? I’m curious how that works. I think I would like to be more actively Christian but I’m not sure how or if my family would follow me plus I have lots of self-doubt lol.

I was also curious about this. Would love to know more about how this works for you and her (but only if you and she are comfortable sharing). :)

Self doubt? As in you doubt yourself, or that you have lots of doubt about Christianity?

Mostly I doubt myself 🙃 But I guess I have trust issues with religion as well due to some bad experiences in my past and also in my family’s history.

I wish I could see a way forward; I just don’t right now.

Last night the Book of Common Prayer gave me 2 Corinthians 4 which truly captures the feeling of adventurous hope in the face of certain disaster: "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed".

You are doing great things, sir. I’ve joked about celebrating my 40th birthday by writing about the potholes in my city, naming my work “40 Unholy Wells.” Slightly less picturesque, each pothole similar to the last.

Great things happening here! I’m Particularly excited about the “book club”.
