Episcopal Scientist Discovers Homeless Birds

Dr JR Rigby (Ph.D. Duke University), long time contributer to this blog, has spent the last three years in serious theolgoical research in Mississippi, especially the Delta region. There he has learned much about the poor and homeless, taking a cue from a very perceptive reading of Matthew 6:26a: http://www.deltawindbirds.org/

With painstaking camera work, using the best technology available (in Mississippi), he has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt what no one has ever sought to prove before, namely, that some birds in fact do not sow or reap or store in barns. In fact, some birds in Mississippi do not have homes at all, justpiles of twigs that they use for a season, only to leave behind as they set out on long cross-country escapades with homeless friends. Rigby reports that he does not think it is our duty to "help" these birds, whatever that would mean. Rather, our goal should be friendship with them. "I mean", he said, "that's what St. Francis did."
