Our church is starting a young adults ministry, and I’m curious what you’ve found helpful in your own churches? ⚓️

I think part of the reason people are reacting so strongly to Magnifica Humanitas is that most of us are longing for someone with power, anyone, to stand up against the soul-crushing machinery (and with regular people) and say "no, this is wrong, and I am on your side."

O Lord our Governor, bless the leaders of our land, that we may be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to other nations of the earth. Lord, keep this nation under your care.

Hey Narthex! If a priest wanted the rite of reconciliation, and it’s agreed upon in their diocese that a college should not provide it, where would they go for confession? 🕯️

I am so tired of Christians—especially clergy—who justify mistreatment of their neighbors in the name of Jesus

I’m not up on my Episcopal history, but I think this means I’m conflicted. 📕 www.prolegopress.com/bishops-quiz
Which 19th Century Bishop Are You?
It's a Tie!
You tied between 3 bishops. Read their profiles and choose the one that best fits you:William White
Pennsylvania, Presiding Bishop
Builder of consensus and "Americanization": led the 1785/1789 Prayer Book revisions for a republic, then presided over consecrations that knit a national church; a moderating, Father-quoting latitudinarian who kept Scripture central.John Henry Hopkins
Vermont
Beauty-loving, Reformation-loyal polymath: wrote on Gothic architecture, composed church music, defended broad tent within the Formularies (Scripture supreme), and helped modernize episcopal trial procedures.John Henry Hobart
New York
High-Church powerhouse: founded and shaped the General Seminary; grew clergy dramatically; pushed visible unity (baptismal grace, apostolic order) and resisted generic ecumenism; evangelized the Oneida.

Seen some people critique Nosferatu as not being as serious/“evil” as The Witch, but, for most people, that’s how evil actually works. It’s subtle & ensnaring before it destroys; its “pleasures” are fleeting.

Hey @andrewrillera.bsky.social I was wondering if you’ve had the chance to dig into Jay Sklar’s doctoral thesis Sin, impurity, sacrifice, atonement: the priestly conceptions? I know you referenced his 1st Leviticus commentary in LotF,& his 2nd one wasn’t out yet, but what about his thesis?

In general, what qualities make for a good match in a spiritual director? I’ll be meeting with one throughout my discernment process, and I’m a bit nervous about it. Thanks!⚓️

America must hear about its sins because we will never understand what is happening in this country today without understanding that we are now reaping the harvest of terrible evil planted by seeds centuries ago. — mlk jr.

I wish my Presbyterian seminary had a liturgy boot camp (or any practical training in the sacraments, period). I suppose that’s one of the disadvantages of finding your way to The Episcopal Church after already starting seminary. But the Lord has a plan.

Reading Karl Barth’s Advent lectures on Luke 1 This all of us must learn to understand: the Lord *is* coming. At this one thing we must gaze, very quietly, very joyfully.

Conservative-ism (whether cultural, political, or theological) grows by offering simple, black & white answers to complex matters But complexity necessitates nuance and humility Thus conservative-ism will always fall short of not only the truth but healthy flourishing as well

“We are not masters but humble stewards of the Sacraments that nourish the faithful because these gifts of the Lord, more than relics to be preserved, are aids of the Holy Spirit for people’s lives.” — Pope Francis’ response to Dubia

What resources might you suggest to a new Episcopalian coming from an evangelical background who is open to affirming positions based on the authority of scripture? ⚓️
