Note: I do not get to pick those banners and don't think just because you see them up there that I endorse any of them.
I live deep in the heart of Texas where I've had family since the 1850s, but I'm from Oregon's Willamette Valley and the City of Roses. I'm an active lay member in a small friendly Episcopal parish that is part of both the global Anglican Communion and The Episcopal Church. I also hang out on Blogger and Yahoo. I now have a SecondLife and have gotten as far as that place that you teleport to after the "Orientation" place. ;-) I'm also involved with ONEDallas which is the local advocacy group for ONE The Campaign to Make Poverty History. Additionally, I'm a member of Phi Theta Kappa with a 3.7+ GPA.
I know I'm supposed to put a photo of myself, but I'd rather be behind the camera and I have a thing for labyrinths, especially ones using the Chartres design.
Also, I do not care what it says down below, as far as I'm concerned my sign is the Cross and I consider myself in the Progressive Orthodox section of the Church. In other words, I'm socially progressive and theologically orthodox. Additionally, I <3 Liturgy.
This is crazy - a 300 page iPhone bill. What was AT&T thinking? My first iPhone Bill!
Thanks for visiting our page and accepting our friends request! We both love the Chartres 11 circuit labyrinth - have done music for labyrinth walks as well.
Love your slide show! Stop by any time for a listen, and thanks again for having us in your space--
Great ! I didn't know there are so many replicas of Chartres labyrinth in the US, I even didn't knwo there was one !!! The Chartres ' one in France is the oldest labyrinth there is in a cathedral, original from the XIIIth century. There were lots of labyrinths in cathedrals in France, but the Church has destroyed them all in the 1700s ... Chartres is the survivor ! And is the only one of that design (one was quite look a like however)... In the XIIIth century spirit, Chartres' one was called "CHEMIN DE JERUSALEM" (road to Jerusalem) because it replaced the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the peoples who can't go in Holy Land ! Its over name was "LA LIEUE" (lieue is a distance mesure of that time) because you need the same time to do it on your knee as you need to do one "lieue" walking ... I understand what you mean in its symbolism ... By the way I am very glad to find someone so much knowledgeable and involved in all of This ... RESPECT to you.
Yes I saw the picture of the labyrinth in your own pics ... But I didin't know there was a "replica" somewhere in the World ... Where is it exactly ? and ... why ??? Chartres rules ! RESPECT to you.
