A young student, who I believe is an American, recently asked a question on one of my Facebook groups: Anyone from Oxford University- what is it like? I have heard that there are no general education classes, and that you work strictly on your major. Is that true? When I responded saying that I could give [...]

Several people have asked me why I named my blog The Unicorn Triumphant. I wrote the following explanation a couple months ago and put it up on the blog as its own page, but if you subscribe to the blog via e-mail or an RSS feed reader and don’t actually visit the blog (which is [...]

I just realized I haven’t had a Benedictine theatre company post in four months, so here’s another. Before we get started, though, I’d like to point out my new friend Ryan’s blog, which I’ve added to the blogroll on the right.

I just attended Sir Trevor Nunn’s inaugural lecture as the new Cameron Mackintosh Professor of Contemporary Theatre at Oxford, held at St Catherine’s College.

Working Summer

I thought I’d do an update post before I continued my series on a Benedictine theatre company. I’m in what’s called the Long Vac in Oxford parlance – the long vacation during the summer, during which students are expected to do the bulk of the primary reading required for their course. I’m also using the [...]

This coming Sunday, I will be received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. I’ve written about this journey before, but I haven’t yet wrapped it up. Of course, I won’t ever be able to wrap it up, because our journey with God thankfully never ends until we reach our final destination of full [...]

I arrived in Oxford last week, and have been busy reviewing my Greek and reading my primary texts (i.e. the New Testament) and secondary texts (i.e. books on patristics and Biblical background, such as Henry Chadwick’s The Early Church – which I highly recommend for even non-academic types – and Rogerson and Davies’ The Old [...]
