In the midst of my present chaos, taking care of all my regular stuff and still trying to write and research three "in works" blog posts, I came across this on The Lead.  It turns out that at the major Anglican "A-list" Bishop's conference this summer at Lambeth Palace, there will be a cartoonist to "capture" the event.  Have a look at featured cartoonist Dave Walker's web site/blog cartoonchurch.com.

While his subject may originally be the Anglican church, there is so much universal humor at church-related topics in these cartoons that even the "frozen chosen" can find a lot in there to laugh at about themselves.  These are not so much side-splitting ROTFL cartoons as they are a humorous look at the way the church runs.  For example, in his cartoon of the "Parochial Church Council" I can put names of some of the members of my church's session on those people, including finding my wife in the bunch.  The group does lack a "polity wonk" or "polity fundamentalist" like me, unless that is the "inspirer of tangents and pointless discussions."  There are a bunch of other great ones on the site, but check out the one on "What the clergy do all week."

This blog has now been added to my reader.

I can't remember a General Assembly being cartooned as a regular practice.  Sure, some political cartoons have come out of it, but not as a regular daily, focused, product like this is.  But we did have that great whimsical commentary by Houston Hodges during GA, including "Some Assembly Required."
