Hello, Friends! I hope that this message finds you well. This is the Summer 2023 update for Linguæ Christi, as well as for myself in my own work with the mission. Let’s jump right in!

Sprachspielen: Language, Pt. 2 – “Register”
As I mentioned in our Summer 2022 newsletter/blog, we have reduced the publication of our regular updates from monthly to quarterly. With our summer instalment being our most recent, we are now publishing our Autumn 2022 newsletter/blog. I also mentioned in the Summer newsletter that I would not necessarily be writing a Sprachspielen editorial for each of our quarterly newsletters.

For the past few months, I have commenced my Sprachspielen article with an apology, specifically for deviating from the series that I began last November. Due to my slipping memory, I must repeat the exercise for April’s edition of Sprachspielen. It completely escaped my mind that Easter occurs this year in mid-April, and it is my custom on the big, Christian holidays to focus on words that have some kind of connection to each of these events in Church calendar.

I had also planned to mention my intention to continue in March the theme in Sprachspielen that I began back in November.

I have sometimes been told that I have a gift for stating the obvious. When I set about to share a bit in this month’s edition of Sprachspielen, I had decided simply to state something that was probably already obvious to you, but I thought I should state it anyway and also give a reason for the situation, even though the reason too might be obvious. As you probably could tell, I’ve taken a bit of a “hiatus” from the Sprachspielen editorials in January and February of this year.
(more…)Sprachspielen: Legacy
I realise that in the November editorial I began the first of a few instalments, looking at concepts and principles which are tied to the word “language” and its permutations. However, as this month’s instalment of Sprachspielen falls in December, which is dominated by thoughts and celebrations of Christmas and looking forward to the New Year, I am going to take a brief pause from looking at the theme, which we started last month.
