Josef Rheinberger
I pinched this beautiful motet in German by Josef Rheinberger (1839-1901) from the Anglican Diaspora forum, but I have my own thoughts about this little-known nineteenth-century composer born in Leichtenstein amidst the soaring Alps. Bleib bei uns, denn es will … Continue reading

Capital Punishment
My reflections continue on this theme of human evil and goodness, and everything in between. I come to the subject to the way the law in some countries deals with a criminal considered as to be so evil as to … Continue reading
