Long and full. Two services into altar guild training, then back at 2pm for pet blessing. From there I left and am now at a clergy retreat till Wednesday. But I got to bless like 10 dogs and 1 albino ball python

Photo of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Greensboro, NC. It is a brick church with a prominent cross on the wall and red double doors with crosses on them. The building is shaped like a wide A-framed house, with lush green trees around it.

Masterful gambit

Lol

You're welcome! I did too

Fun to see a few people frothy with excitement that Archbishop-designate Sarah will mean Anglicans go to Rome or realign global Anglicanism with a new (male) head. Kind of sounds like a church based on gender ideology (rather than Christ) to me! But I am but a simple small town parson ⚓

Good conversation.

YouTube video by All Things Necessary The Next Archbishop of Canterbury: Hopes, Challenges, and the Future of Anglicanism

Bishop Sarah Mullally has been named the next Archbishop of Canterbury. What gifts does she bring to the role? What does this mean for the Church of England and the Anglican Communion? Helen King ( @helenking.bsky.social ) & Andrew McGowan ( @praxeas.bsky.social ) share their thoughts ⚓

If the US really wanted to dominate the space and cyber warfare domains they would make a special effort to recruit blue haired nonbinary kids, trans women, and furries. Bros who lift are not your strongest keyboard warriors.

Why are you in that absolute cesspool of a group loool

You're the main character

Robin, as a former UM pastor, I can assure you that Pastor Dylan is 100% correct. Taking away Facebook from them is an act of love

Shouting "I believe in fairies*!" over and over so that Tinkerbell† doesn't die.

* - infinity growth
† - civilization

If the new Archbishop of Canterbury is announced on Friday, who all should I have on All Things Necessary to talk about it? I'm envisioning having more than 1 person on. ⚓

This NRSVUE take reads clunkily to me:
"In contrast, God is why you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption" (1 Cor 1:30)
vs
"He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, & righteousness..." etc

It really is. Like each week it becomes harder to use

It is so stupid that Facebook stopped making messages sent to FB pages obviously visible right away in Messenger. Instead, they want you to download an additional app. No.

All that stuff that says it's wireless has wires inside

Loool

Why is it that most RW people have memory holed just how theological and Christian Obama could be? Maybe Democrats and the left have as well. I went back and listened to that sermon/speech and got a little misty eyed at once having a president thoughtful and eloquent.

Is there a running list of names of the disappeared that churches can be praying for? 🕯️

Are you asking to be added as a contributor to the Narthex feed?

I had never heard of it till you posted it, but I also have lived in areas where the UCC barely exists

RMN- Reconciling Ministries Network, or a “reconciling congregation” for the church

Amazing!
