\nFr. Philip Powell wants to spread the word about MTS Travel<\/a><\/p>\n

These folks specialize in travel for priests, religious, missionaries–all sorts of church-related activities. Diane Houseman<\/span> helped me yesterday get a ticket to Rome at an incredibly reduced fare. I think they deserve our support. With air fares rising rapidly this summer b\/c of fuel costs everyone is going to feel the pinch. We don’t want something as mundane as $$$ to keep us from spreading the Gospel!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n\u00a0Parish Network: From the developer:<\/a><\/p>\n

I am in the process of beta-testing a new social networking Web site called ParishNetwork (www.parishnetwork.org<\/a>), which is intended to help people meet others in their own parish\/diocese, and I was hoping your readers might be willing to give it a try and send me some feedback.
\nRight now, parishes in the following dioceses are supported: the Archdioceses of New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington (D.C.) and Baltimore, and the Diocese of Wilmington (Del.) — more dioceses will be added soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, Michael Spencer, better known as the Internet Monk, is a Baptist minister working in a school in KY, has been in ministry for decades and an Internet presence for a long time, carving out a unique niche, a niche marked by a lot of battle scars.\u00a0 What has been bothering him for a year now has been obvious to anyone who passed “Reading Between the Lines 101,” but he comes out with the full storyin\u00a0 this post at the group blog of which he is a part, the Boar’s Head Tavern<\/a>\u00a0(which does not take comments, and be warned, has a pretty anti-Catholic vibe going – not Michael’s doing, but it’s there) and posts on it on his own blog, where comments are allowed. <\/a>
