Non Surfam

Blogging will be lighter than usual for a while, as I am taking my customary Lenten fast from the internet. Not having quite the self-control to include blogging (certainly e-mail fasting is an impossibility), I will continue to jot down a few things from time to time.

This may also be a good time to gauge continuing interest, if any, in resuming the HFH patristics reading group, the original purpose for this blog. If you are interested in continuing, please drop a comment for this post (this will also serve as a way of seeing how many people can muster the courage to comment!). Ideally, discussion of readings would actually be discussion, with readers responding to each others' insights, comments, and questions; but that requires a critical mass of readers and commenters.

I'll post the same request for participation to the HFH list. Remember: You don't have to be Catholic, a homeschooler, or a member of HFH to participate; you just have to remember that the primary purpose of this group is to read and understand the Church Fathers, and so is educational and not polemical. Nor must you own a copy of Quasten's Patrology (the spine for this group), but it will be helpful.
