Leading Off (12/11/09)

1. Call it the St. Michael Melee. The All Angels Altercation. The Douglas Avenue Donnybrook. Two heavyweights of the Episcopal episcopacy go head to head early Saturday in a war of words, battling for the very soul of the church. And there will be free coffee and donuts. At issue: whether belief in Jesus is the only path to salvation.

2. The White Rock Marathon is on Sunday. Apparently when times get rough economically, people turn to their inner Forrest Gump: “There’s so much in life that’s negative,” said Chuck Dannis, the White Rock Marathon board’s chairman emeritus. “Running is a way to release those tensions. People feel good about themselves when everything else is falling apart.”

3. Wick killed Renegade Bus.

  1. No. 3 made me laugh. Peter Simek returns to the warm bosom of the D Magazine empire on Monday (in a previous life, he worked for People Newspapers). I’m looking forward to having the guy around and to seeing how he’ll improve our arts coverage. I’m just sorry that he didn’t start a few days earlier, so that he, too, could have had an opportunity to show his dance moves at the company Christmas party.

  2. #1 Even if we can’t all agree if Jesus is the reason for the season … we can agree donuts and lattes are the craze for the holidays.

  3. Very good news. Renegade Bus has been a very welcome addition to Arts Coverage in the City. I’ll look forward to anything he writes for you guys.

  4. If the “episcopacy” decides Jesus salvation is all & only, wouldn’t that make them Baptists?
