Update/Correction

For those who come to this blog to listen to my talks, I have to apologize for the link to the sermon "The Descendants of Ishmael." I incorrectly typed the address, so the link didn't work. However, I just fixed it so it now works. So feel free to skip down the page and listen to it. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Welcome and Reflection on Christian Justice

Welcome to the Eclectic Podcasting Mass! I hope you enjoy the first installment. As time passes, I hope to get better and improve the audio quality. I might even add a few bells and whistles (which can indeed be done since it is audio). I do want to get some feedback, so feel free to e-mail me at vmcguffee@yahoo.com. Or, you can comment as well.

If you get an aggregator (mine is from Doppler Radio), you can subscribe (my feed address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/eclecticpodcastingmass) and it will check for updates when you tell it to.
