3 years ago today the Venite app glitched out one of the readings and it made it all the more ominous lol ⚓️

hey if you work for a church, today is a GREAT DAY to check if your christmas eve/christmas service times are posted yet. people are deciding where they want to visit, give them your church as an option!!! 🕯️

even better: i frogged the whole thing! negative progress 🥲🙃🙃🙃🙃

bringing my crochet to a coffee shop, completing four stitches and scrolling social media

i slept twelve hours last night then came home from church and napped for two and a half more

apple pie with cinnamon red hots melted in. you’re welcome.

preaching a non-manuscript sermon tomorrow …. pray for me!🙏🏻🥰❤️

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

hey no pressure or anything but it’s a great moment to tune in and check if you’re clenching your jaw and if you are, do you wanna maybe separate your teeth for a moment

me *has been out of grad school for six months*: maybe i should learn how to make paper?

so grateful for this all hallowstide, a weekend spent in community, in feeling joy and grief intertwined, and many truly holy moments.

i love southern church i just had the most delicious bacon cheddar biscuit at post church coffee hour

one thing I’m learning about the collects of the BCP is that if you pray them regularly enough: 1.) they will come unbidden when needed; and 2.) your spontaneous prayers will take the shape of the collects, and that, in turn, gives a steadiness in prayer that calms people in crisis

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Went on a walk today and wore a long sleeved shirt but could have used a sweatshirt 😭 AUTUMN IS HERE I AM REACHING MY TELOS

LET'S FIX THIS PROBLEM, America !

i think I’m realizing how many things i’ve said yes to just to be included and that actually sometimes i can say no to an activity just because it doesn’t sound fun to me that day

anyone have a commentary they really like on 1 John??

The new Anglican structure announced yesterday claims that the church must be built on the Bible alone as the foundation. But that very book says something else: “For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor 3:11). Lord Jesus, heal your church. ⚓️

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days. Epstein Shutdown.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

It's funny bc you don't even need to be a religious person or know anything about religion really to know that "we're saving God" isn't a thing.

USAA has activated a no interest loan program for federal employees affected by the #GOPShutdown. To see if you qualify, please visit USAA.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword. We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

Does anyone have this in Spanish? I want to print double sided.

they’re called gafcon and that actually tells me everything i need to know about them

From All Saints Episcopal Church in San Francisco 🕯

Another banger from Pope Leo XIV: “She [The Church] knows that her proclamation of the Gospel is credible only when it is translated into gestures of closeness and welcome. And she knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community.” ⚓️

during commercials of @911nashville (a TV maxidrama featuring attractive people rescuing folks), consider helping our most vulnerable Nashvillians by donating food, shelter and warmth that will go directly to those in need through Open Table Nashville. Winter is coming. buff.ly/0ib7qKm?

The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.

my doctor keeps saying they don’t want me to ever miss a dose of one specific medication but keeps creating issues with refilling said medication, which makes me miss doses

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Get it now?

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line. A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. Quadruple the cost just to stay insured. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

why is speaking to an automated voice so automatically aggravating

planning a library trip tomorrow to #treatmyself

Of the data so far in, 78% of growing or stable Episcopal Churches have small groups and they have something like a median of 63% of their ASA involved in formation at some point in a year.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

shoutout to the child sitting next to me at church today who heard today’s gospel reading (the rich man and lazarus) and immediately started flipping through her storybook bible to try to find it … hard to believe but for some reason they didn’t include this one! 😂

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Today the Episcopal Church commemorates Thecla of Iconium, and her story goes so hard. - saved from burning at the stake - beat up a nobleman who tried to assault her - saved in the arena by female wild animals - baptized herself in "a lake full of aggressive seals" who were struck by lightning

i am a christian begging other christians to act normal just this once

people saying “oh it’s dangerous for me to leave this candy out” because they’re scared of the calories: weak, overdone, boring me saying “oh it’s dangerous for me to leave this candy out” because i’ve injured the roof of my mouth from sour powder: intriguing, beautiful, mysterious
