Ego stoked
Usually when I receive an email saying I won something, my first impulse it to send it to the spam folder. Saying that I won an award for New Evangelization Award for Catholic blogging I am humbled. Really I think of that scene in Wayne’s World when Wayne and Garth meet Alice Cooper and bow down saying “We’re not worthy.”
From Matthew Coffin at Big C Catholics
I am pleased to announce the 1st annual New Evangelization Award for excellence in Catholic blogging. The Catholic blogosphere hosts thousands of sites. Choosing among them blogs of distinction is a daunting task. I had originally intended to honor three Catholic bloggers who have made a unique and longstanding contribution to evangelize and engage a society that is increasingly hostile and openly skeptical toward Judeo-Christian principles and the “culture of life.” I expanded that number to seven in deference to the prevalence of quality Catholic websites in existence. (There are numerous bloggers worthy of recognition. For a list of honorable mentions please see my blogroll.) In order to qualify, a blog must:
- have been in existence for at least 3 years
- publish original content that is faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church
- evangelize and inform Catholics, converts, reverts, and all who seek the fullness of truth
The 2015 recipients of the New Evangelization Award for Catholic blogging are:
- Catholic and Enjoying it! by Mark Shea
- Catholic Fire by Jean Heimann
- Conversion Diary by Jennifer Fulwiler
- Domine, da mihi hanc aquam! By Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP
- Big Blue Wave by Suzanne F.
- The Curt Jester by Jeff Miller
- The Deacon’s Bench by Deacon Greg Kandra
