And they told you Episcopalians don't believe in the resurrection Or, How the Angels See

Definitely one of those crazy busy weeks where the best sermon prep is just saying, "God, I'm not sure I can do this. Would you write it for me?" ⚓

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.

“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

one of my favorite pieces of folk religion — in Swedish, there’s only one word for dove and pigeon (as they’re essentially the same thing), so above the pulpits in these old country churches, they have depicted the Holy Spirit as their own local pigeon variant. delightful!! 🕊️🕯️✨

Hey, go listen to the Canticle of the Turning. Yeah, no it's not Advent yet. Thank me later 📕🕯️⚓️

Broke: uploading yourself into the cloud or the sun or whatever

Woke: lo, he comes with clouds descending, once for our salvation slain

It’s telling that this is about an isolated thinking being, not in relationship, not loving. It’s a counterfeit of the promise of the fruit in Genesis: you will be as God, but in isolation.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell, 1984

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Car was getting to the point where I was considering a car wash and then it starts raining. Truly God provides!

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Let me be clear on my position: If ChatGPT Atlas was the only browser left, I would no longer use the web.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

Quote from bible study: "Getting sloppy with the side-wound of Christ"

ICE must not just be abolished.

It must be crushed into dust and thrown into the wind by the next Administration.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Our job is to love our kids the way God loves us: completely, abundantly, joyfully, unconditionally, infinitely.

It should be noted that this is how we are asked to love everyone as well. All of humanity. It shocks me how often these so-called "christians" forget this.

the wave of weaponized nostalgia for 90s-style multiculturalism and political correctness is gonna hit different

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

Again, any serious vision of a post-Trumpism America must center around the dismantling of the post-industrial economy.

Call it corporatism or capitalism or techno-capitalism or neoliberalism...I don't really give a fuck. It must be destroyed.

It's really frustrating how the ~Anglican Communion* Unity~ handwringing always happens over women and LGBTQ+ people and not, say, divorced men in the episcopate.

*The Anglican Communion has only been a thing since the 19th century

They're doing this while simultaneously accelerating the decline of family farms in Iowa with trade wars that make it impossible to sell soy beans. At some point even the dimmest bulbs are going to shout "enough!"

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
