A Faith on the Fringe update, April 1, 2025
I was rather busy in March, so I didn’t do much writing.
I’m currently performing in Virginia Repertory Theatre’s DIAL M FOR MURDER at the Historic Hanover Tavern, in Hanover, Virginia.
Alfred Hitchcock’s famous murder mystery is re-envisioned. After his wife ends an affair, a jealous husband spins a web of suspicion and deception that ensnare them both in danger, recrimination and murder.
I play a British Columbo. We run through April 27.

If you come see the show, please send a message backstage, so I can come out and say hello.

On March 13, I answered the question “How do Christians Respond to Donald Trump?”
Trump Christians have been manipulated for decades into believing they can’t be Christian and Democrat, so the default response for many American Christians is to support a Republican, even when the Republicans are profane liars and the opposite of Jesus in every way.
“At least he’s not a Democrat,” isn’t a Biblically based justification to support policies that harm the weakest.
Trump Christians are comfortable in their persecution of others, it’s up to us to hold them to the standard they claim – the standard Jesus asks of us.

For St. Patrick’s Day, I offered 3 Lessons from the Early Church:
Churches today can learn 3 lessons from the early Celtic Church. More than 1,500 years ago the natives of Ireland were polytheist pagans who would consider themselves ‘spiritual;’ much like the growing group of unchurched Americans. Ireland and the other British islands were on the furthest edge of the Roman Empire, and the furthest reach of Christianity. Christian monasteries were established across Ireland under the Bishop Palladius.
