Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

Why not fantasy?


Why Fantasy?

"The idea that Lewis, for example, was writing Christian apologetics in his Narnia books (an accusation that was made on the release of the recent Narnia film) is absurd. If Lewis wanted to write Christian apologetics, he could do it quite effectively (e.g., in Mere Christianity, Miracles, or The Problem of Pain). But a fictional presentation of a story with strong underlying Christian values is not an apologetic."
