Project Elrond

Boyd W Morris

For mortals, fantasy isn’t real but pretend. But fantasy in the hands of faithful immortals is the power of sanctified imagination to fuse thought and action and build worlds in the language of poetry, epic story, ceremony, liturgy, and ritual.

A Great Music

Sep 24, 2015

Boyd W Morris

The more I immerse myself in the universal language of myth and legend the more alive Scripture becomes, the more mystically transformative the sacraments and the Liturgy become, and the more clear the speaking of the Holy Spirit becomes.

Embodying God

Sep 10, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Giving ourselves to the epic quest of embodying God in our leprous bodies is how we exhaust evil.

Waybread of Elves

Aug 26, 2015

Boyd W Morris

The Father’s language is way more wild, controversial, deeply mystical, and outright outrageous than mortal minds can handle. Thus, to hear and learn from the Father we must first eat what Tolkien calls lembas, the waybread of Elves.

Both the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan, like white and black pieces on a chessboard, are at war over whose world system shall rule creation.

Jane Austen Rules!

Jul 9, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Romantic fiction and science fiction give us the key that puts into proper perspective rulings like those of late by the U.S. Supreme Court redefining marriage. The key? Heroism.

The Politics of Worship

Jun 25, 2015

History belongs to worshipers of Emperor Jesus. You can’t get more political than that.

The Roman Empire didn’t have a problem with Christian believers, but with Christian worshipers.

Game On!

May 27, 2015

Boyd W Morris

It doesn't matter if you're sailing a boat, smacking a tennis ball, kicking a football, climbing 8,000 meter peaks, playing chess, or drinking Christ’s blood from a chalice served by a priest in the Eucharistic worship of the Church. We’re all playing the same game for the same prize.

The Drug of Immortality

May 14, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Providentially, only two days before watching the movie, Lucy, for the first time in my life I encountered the phrase, “the drug of immortality,” but not from a Hollywood scriptwriter.

The Physics of Spirituality

Apr 28, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Spiritualistic and materialistic notions of the world are scandalous. They both suffer from an underdeveloped sense of the Resurrection as an accomplished fact. The image of God in us isn’t just a “spiritual” reality, but also one for the physics books.

Having faith in God doesn’t magically make the world a better place. Having God’s faith in humanity does.

Circle Me, Lord

Apr 2, 2015

Boyd W Morris

"Circle me, Lord." The First Adam didn’t pray this way nor invite his wife to join him in such a prayer. However, the Second Adam does pray this way and invites his bride, the Church, to join Him in praying this way too.

Something Big's Happening

Mar 19, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Forbidden fruit never satisfies. The more we eat, the hungrier we get. We’re at a turning point. Something big’s happening. We’re losing a taste for formulas. The prodigal son is coming to his senses.

As a Soul Friend, Tim is forming a colony of heaven on earth by giving people a place to belong in order to believe instead of requiring them to believe before they can belong.

Dangerous Paths Taken

Feb 15, 2015

Boyd W Morris

In all great stories, there is a point where the hero and his or her friends make a costly choice. Contrary to the instinct for self-preservation, they take dangerous paths into the heart of darkness to destroy evil and save the world.

To Hell With Hell, Not the Church

Jan 21, 2015

Boyd W Morris

Subcultural and countercultural forms of denominationalism effectively say yes to Hades and to hell with the Church. Kingdomculture dares to say yes to the Church and to hell with hell.

Running Our Own City

Oct 21, 2014

Boyd W Morris

When we’re about the ultimate business of running our own city, we no longer “go to church” or “go to work” or “go to the store” or “go to school” as exiles, but go from Church into our own city to embody the Kingdom of God in our various specialized vocational callings seven days a week.

Boyd W Morris

Our destiny, your destiny, my destiny is to shine like the sun in the kingdom of the Father. Dare to imagine that. Dare to imagine becoming by Grace what God is by nature. As St. Athanasius says, Christ became “incarnate” so we might be “ingodded.”
