The Episcopal Diocese of New York has created a new Immigrant Legal Support Fund to help asylum-seekers and others applying for special immigration status pay new fees that now are required when they make their legal claims. episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/10/06/d...

“This is not merely about immigration—it is about justice, dignity, and the soul of our diocese.” Episcopal Bishop of Chicago, the Rt Rev Paula Clark episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/10/06/c...

Our world is too dark & broken a place to put the institution over God's people. Even if that means we take our coffee black, no sugar, when what we really wanted was a Brazilian roast Cafe Affogato with just a dash of Madagascar Cinnamon. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/consumer-c...

It's the birthday of former Czech President Václav Havel. In the 1960s, he wrote a series of absurdist plays that attacked the Communist Party, including The Garden Party (1964) and The Memorandum (1965). He said, "If you want to see your plays performed the way you wrote them, become President."

Their research showed how the body regulates its immune responses and keeps the immune system from attacking itself. Take THAT, RFK, Jr, and DJT. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/h...

These folks take seriously the teaching of Jesus www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

So, maybe those college students who were protesting were not anti-Semitic for supporting Palestine? Maybe you can be critical of Israel's leaders and actions w/o being anti-Semitic? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Right-wing extremists carried out 152 terrorist attacks between 2016 and July 4, 2025 - that’s more than the number of deaths committed by left-wing extremists and jihadists combined. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

IT'S A GIRL!!!! The new Archbishop of Canterbury is Sarah Mullally, the first woman to hold the position in 1,400 years. Members of ACNA have set their hair on fire and declared the death of the church. Meanwhile, there is great rejoicing in the communion! www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

Happy birthday, Gore Vidal, the American novelist who wrote numerous novels, including "Washington, D.C." (1967) and "Duluth: A Novel" (1983), a satire of the TV show Dallas. He once said, "Style is knowing who you are, what to say, and not giving a damn."

Apparently, the charming “Dancing Pedophile Friends” statue is back on the Mall. And, as I said before, "Remember, Donald Trump did everything that Jeffrey Epstein did. He just did it backwards and in lifts.”

In the chaos and confusion that emanates daily from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we’ve hardly had time to sit down and weep. That doesn’t mean we won’t need to. We most certainly will. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/by-the-wat...

If the PB had asked him to resign his orders as part of the accord, there would have been justice. Reconciliation was never going to happen. There can be no peace without justice. No justice, no peace. The PB's apology does not bring peace or justice. episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/10/01/p...

I love The Episcopal Church episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/09/29/d...

What an amazing slate of candidates: Two women, one lesbian, one gay man, one Hispanic woman. Beyond that, they are incredible individuals - smart, strong, passionate, committed to the church, to God and the people of God. Well done! episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/09/29/w...

Slack tide at sunset tonight at Llangollen, our wee cottage on the Peaceful Estuary on the Delmarva Peninsula, on the Sparkling Bay of Rehoboth on the Big Waters of the Atlantic. We had a wonderful time and it's good to be home.

A Bishop, an Abbess, a Priest and a Deacon walk onto a cruise ship … (Bishop Karen, Barbara, Moi, and Robin)

It's the birthday of the tragic Greek poet Euripides, who was born in 480 B.C. He said, "When good men die their goodness does not perish, / But lives though they are gone. As for the bad, / All that was theirs dies and is buried with them." Given our current reality, I find that oddly reassuring

Happy Birthday, Steven King (1947). He has written many books, including Carrie (1974), The Shining (1977), Pet Sematary (1983), It (1986), The Green Mile (1996), and his seven-part Dark Tower series. He once wrote (and I have found to be true), "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."

And, every day is another expletive. I had no idea I could be so proficient at cursing.

WEAR A PAPER CLIP: Norwegian teachers & students wore paper clips to signal their opposition to Nazi occupation ... a symbol of solidarity binding them together as paper clips did with papers ... a quiet act of defiance, expressing that Norwegians remained united against Nazi rule.

I always talk about “cherishing,” because the word “love” sort of gets lost. Cherishing is love with its sleeves rolled up. —Gregory Boyle, via Richard Rohr

I did not have "Agree with Ted Cruz" on my Bingo Card.

Unbelievable. It's like we've fallen down the Rabbit Hole with Alice. www.ncronline.org/opinion/card...

MSNBC has absolutely NO right to question Jimmy Kimmel's firing after they fired Matthew Dowd for his comments on Katy Tur's show. Or, caving to the Trump Regime's DEI policies in firing Reid, Capehart, Wagner, Phang, Mohyeldin, & Diaz-Balart. Hypocrisy knows no limits. Only watching TRMS now.

Absolutely brilliant satire. So brilliant, it's painful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GXN...

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

About 500 people came to support her outside the immigration office in Burlington, including ....... Bishop Julia Whitworth of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, who skipped the end of a national bishops gathering to support Martinez. religionnews.com/2025/09/16/e...

The decision to imprison Nasir “lacks any legal or moral justification,” Binder said, especially considering that she is no longer a student and is now a full-time community worker at the YMCA. episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/09/16/a...

Can someone please tell me the names of the "Radical Leftist Groups/Organizations" that are radicalizing people online like Kirk's assassin, and causing violence in our culture? Inquiring minds would like to know.

With all the negativity and "wars and rumors of war," I need this Creed from Jan Phillips.

Gov. Meyer DE issued a standing order to protect access to COVID-19 vaccines. Meyer also directed DPH and the DoE to revise state regs. Delaware formally joined a NE coalition of states to coordinate public health policies. publichealthalerts.delaware.gov/wp-content/b...

“Silent prayers get silent results.” Someone please tell Lauren Boebert about Romans 8:26. "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words." Doesn't she have one of Donnie's Bibles?

Peace is not something you must hope for in the future. It is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present, you will never find it. — Thomas Merton

Of course, the Current Occupant will continue the spin that it is "Leftist extremists" who are to blame, but he's never been one to let facts or truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory or news cycle spin.

Honestly? Do not ask me - right now - to take leadership in calling people to acts of forgiveness. Not without some sign of repentance and indication of amendment. I will. Just not yet. Honestly? It’s too soon. Much too soon. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/honestly

I know it's all Epstein Files and Charlie Kirk all the time, but has anyone gone grocery shopping recently? I just paid $7 for a 5# bag of flour. Up $2. Mercy! And then, there are eggs. Suddenly, making Hot Cross Buns for Holy Cross Sunday is becoming a major investment.

Today is the 24th Anniversary of 9/11. As this Twitter feed aptly demonstrates, we've learned nothing. The terrorists have won.
