Massive institution run by men gets run into the ground in some profound way ➡️ figurehead resigns so people will stop yelling at him ➡️ First Woman Figurehead is appointed to the impossible task of uniting and cleaning up an institution whose wounds have been left to fester for decades/ centuries.

The 106th Archbishop of Canterbury is SARAH MULALLY, BISHOP OF LONDON. #anglican

They already have some, TBTG!

Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrest,
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
- Samuel Stone (1839-1900)
Published in Lyra Fidelium, 1866.

just to remind everyone, TEC is supposed to vote on approving Rite I in contemporary English next GC, so we've prepared some proposed renderings for them. I really hope this goes thru! ⚓️

Let me see what I can whip up...

You said it better than I could, Hannah. Orthodoxy and orthopraxy can coexist together, and it's very clear that the church understands what the former is but not the latter, and we need to discover the latter, given... everything currently happening.

Really glad that someone, and especially you, wrote this article. I've found the response of many, this proprietety concern you discuss, to be disheartening. Even if we didn't endorse politicians directly, there is no reason why we shouldn't have a document like the USCCB's "Faithful Citizenship."

"In Essentials, Unity": A Call for Confessional Anglicanism — Earth and Altar In a July 3 opinion article for Religion News Service, Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe argues that, in the words of its headline, “The Episcopal Church must now be an engine of resistance.” (1) In rea...

A pull quote in red: "In considering a return to confessional Anglicanism, we will find the church’s unity and the church’s voice – a way to interpret all the things that matter to us, not just saying the same things over and over again."

What might the confessional heritage of our Anglican tradition have to teach us today? Using the Presiding Bishop's recent op-ed as a jumping off point, I think there's a whole lot. Now up on @earthandaltarmag.com, link below. ⚓ #Episcopal

Great news for #tec and the #anglican world. Kara is a first-rate teacher and the Diocese of New Jersey (and its neighbors) are full of great churches and people. This is truly what #PTSemLooksLike!

PTS has very very generous scholarship opportunities - every single student gets some form of scholarship or grant. If you feel called, discern and consider it because there may be a financial path forward.

Proud NYCFC fan here!

This is exactly it.

Hi Christopher - let's talk. I use it, glad to answer questions.

Make no mistake: if he rose at all
It was as His body;
If the cell’s dissolution did not reverse, the molecule reknit,
The amino acids rekindle,
The Church will fall.

A Gospel for the Older Siblings A Sermon for the Fourth Sunday in Lent

Where is the good news for the older of the two brothers in last Sunday's Gospel? To get to a good answer, two twentieth century authors may point us in the right direction - more at the link below. ⚓️

The new Good Friday service slaps!

Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, in his mozzetta.

I've got to say, I actually really like the choir dress equivalent for RC bishops of the mozzetta and biretta.

I remember you mentioning this at AARSBL - so happy you've gotten this!

Just saw this, but @arliecoles.bsky.social needs to see this as well. #EpiscopalChant

Here's a whacky idea. What if we all give up service leaflets for Lent? It will save time, money, and, most important, trees. And then we can take on the spiritual discipline of hospitality. 1/3

.@rpryor03.bsky.social and I have added two new items to Episcopal Chant for those of you planning for Holy Week already! Both stem from the alternative liturgy for Good Friday, approved by GC in 2024-A115:

Also, if anyone knows an Episcopalian who works at HarperCollins and would be down to help me with part of this project, let me know!📕

Specifically tagging in our resident librarian, @drewkadel.bsky.social.

OK, Episcopalians, I need your help. I'm doing some copyright research on Howard Galley, and he's the copyright owner for something listed as the "Seabury diary, 1989." Does anyone know what this would have been? 📕

I'll be officiating tonight! Come if you're in town! ⚓
