This site contains the work of an Anglican Dominican brother. I live and work in San Antonio, Texas, along with my two silly dogs. I belong to the Anglican Order of Preachers, to which I am most grateful. The name of the blog, Domini Canes, derives from an old pun. Members of the Dominican Order were known as “hounds of the Lord”, which in Latin sounds a lot like “Dominican”.
The Legal Stuff: Unless otherwise indicated, the thoughts here are my own, with the exception of the images I re-post (in which I claim no ownership interest).

What a wonderful blog Pax, Br. John-Paul p/OSB
I’m so glad you like it, Brother. Peace to you as well.
thank you for visiting and “liking” the prayer that I wrote. I am very happy when visiting your site. Love all that I have read and subscribed!
Linda,
I’m so glad you liked the site. God’s great peace to you.
Brother James. You are the first member of any clergy to read my blog and actually click the Like button instead of sending me a harshly worded email as to my ignorance. Thank you so much for reading and for being tolerant and kind.
All the best.

Nelson,
Actually, I’m a lay brother, and not clergy. But I think what you said speaks well to all of us who need the occasional reminder that Jesus saved his harshest criticism for those he called “hypocrites.” I know I need that reminder regularly.
God’s peace, my friend,
Br. James
Thanks for visiting our site and liking our post about pacifism. It’s always nice to get visits, especially from overseas (isn’t it a small world) and to see what other bloggers are writing about.
(I’m writing in my capacity as internet person at http://reigatepeacegroups.wordpress.com – thought I’d better mention that as I think my primary blog, a work-related one, will show up as my gravatar, which might be confusing!)
Sue,
I enjoyed the piece very much. I also enjoy peace very much.
Pax,
James

You’re too kind. Many thanks,

Hello there Brother James,
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to read my article on monasticism! It’s always nice to know that someone enjoyed reading what I really enjoyed writing! I’m looking forward to perusing your blog as well.
All the best,
Meaghan
Meaghan,
I really loved the piece on monasticism and you are a gifted writer. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Peace and joy,
Br. James
Hey Brother James,
While I haven’t had time to go deep into your archives, I have spent some time reading recent works, and I am excited to have found your writing. You have been gifted with a great ability to convey the truths of Scripture. Thanks for making these words available.
Also, thanks for all the encouragement.

Dear Sweat family,
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the recent stuff. (You probably don’t need to go into the archives, because it seems like I mostly repeat myself, mostly because I am gifted with the grace of not recalling what I’ve said.)
You are most welcome, and I thank you for your support as well.
God’s peace on you and your house,
Br. James
I would be interested in knowing more about your own personal journey that led you to become a novice, if you are comfortable with telling it.
Olive,
I may tell that story someday. Thanks for the suggestion.
Br. James
Br. James — thank you for your work. Are you on Facebook? I’d like to talk with you c/ about “The Sacred Pauses”, especially in regards to the saints. Peace to you.
Hello Brother James, Thanks for reading my last post and liking it. I added a preface to let people know that I am not bashing anyone’s doctrine, but I see that you already knew that. Thanks for your encouragement and all of your notes.
“Sister Olive”
Olive,
I hope no one thought you were bashing their doctrine. I certainly didn’t take it as such. But I’ve always thought God and his people mattered a lot more than doctrine, anyway.
Pax Christi,
Br. James
No one so far has thought so, but I thought it would be wise to add a little preface. The point of the piece was to show the damage that believers can do in the name of doctrine. You are right, that people are the most important thing. Thanks for your note!
Peace be with you.
I admire your work and your style, and I have nominated you for the versatile blogger award. Please accept it here:
Peace & Grace,
Olive Twist
Thank you so much for finding my blog. Have a blessed Holy Week.
Alethea,

God watch over thee and me,
Br. James

How would a laicized Dominican priest Roman Catholic enter your Anglican Order of preachers
Thanks for sharing your info. I really appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your
further write ups thank you once again.
Thank you, my Brother !! I am an ordained Dominican priest (retired) who, hopefully, will soon be an Anglican Dominican. Blessed Resurrection Day! Austin, O.P.
Please point me in the direction of Episcopal Dominicans in Tennessee or elsewhere in the southeast. I am a parishioner at Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville, TN, a graduate of Vanderbilt Divinity and very interested in the order.
