I’m angry right now

at the amount of people in Bollywood who look pale as me. Brown is beautiful! Come on India! Take pride in your self! 

I get to teach a class on something I care about!

After presenting my knowledge on St Thomas the Apostle and his early ministry in India to the Rector of my church, I get to teach a class in the new year about Early Thomasan Christianity in India and compare and contrast it to Hinduism. Indian history and religion? Why yes, I think I’ll enjoy teaching that…

what an age we live in!

My Christian denomination, Anglicanism is led by the Church of England. I just found out today that the Church of England has a Twitter account. Check them out: @c_of_e on Twitter.

Renaissance Man versus Bohemian

The Renaissance was a movement in Western Europe that started in northern Italy in the late 1400’s and proceeded through the 1500’s. It was a movement of art, political change, and for the general progression of mankind as a whole unit.

The Bohemian movement began in Paris in the 1870’s and featured mostly people interested in instant self gratification and selfish pleasure. This movement is largely considered ended with the French declaration of war against the German Empire in 1914 when most of the Bohemians found themselves hated by their fellow Frenchmen. The spirit of the Bohemians would later be revisited by the self-righteous Hippie movement in Britain and the United States in the late 1960’s and later again by the Hipster movement of the late 90’s and present day.

Do yourself a favour. Be a product of the renaissance, not Bohemia.
