Notes on Northern European Protestantism in Current Year, Twenty Twentysix
Earlier this month I went on a trip that took me to England for about five days, then to Latvia, Finland, and Iceland for a day or two each. I was in England to go to Oxonmoot, which is a Tolkien thing; I was in Finland to visit an online friend, and in Latvia and Iceland getting to and from Finland. This gave me many opportunities to go into beautiful Protestant churches, and even more opportunities to look at them from the outside. Sometimes Catholic and Orthodox churches too; I’m looking forward to seeing how a film photo that I took in Riga, with a sort of herring bruschetta and a glass of kvass in the foreground and the spire of St. Jacob’s Cathedral in the background, came out. If it looks good enough, I’m going to title the photo “Daily Bread,” which is perhaps not exactly me at my most avant-garde.

Recently I undertook a solo road trip to Washington, DC, one that I think aided my understanding of the country, of many things of deep importance to me, and, least importantly, of myself.
