What's Up?

Just Who -- and What -- is God, anyway? What can 21st Century Catholic Christians believe and do?

It is much easier to say what God is _NOT_, that what He IS -- but I will try a bit, nonetheless.

This used to be called "Catechism", but I like short words and pithy (i.e. colorful) language. I am a Conservative Old Catholic Bishop, and I am going to build on the foundation of the Nicene Creed -- preserving the words and meanings of the Fathers, but often re-casting them in modern terms. I will be going through the Creed word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase, amplifying and explaining as I go.

I have been urged to write a full-fledged Catechism, but I am really much better at short essays.

I welcome comments and dialogue.
