This will be fun (at least it’s not actively snowing)

Chat is that a good thing to read when you have to use I-90 to drive across the state tomorrow?

Last, (ELCA) Lutheranism sees government as part of the daily bread god provides for us but it’s not just on god to provide good governance. Sin is present in everything but we’re not slaves to it and can work for the good of our neighbour (and everyone is our neighbour)

From the ELCA 2020 statement on government and civil society:

- Everyone has a responsibility to make government function well and engage in civic duty

God's two ways of governing

- summary described in "Luther's works” vol13 p197
- also in 1523 treatise "Temporal authority: To what extent should it be obeyed?”
→section 1, “Luther’s Works” vol 45

- The right hand compels us to work in love and justice

- Gods left hand works through people to provide justice for all

- Both types are necessary and provide critical insights for a Christian understanding of God’s work in human society

- Theological use of the law
→ love of god and neighbour is paramount

Also bc I’m literally writing a sermon on it right now, here’s one thing the ELCA says about sin present in structures and our job to work with and against those structures (full text in the alt text)

This prophetic role includes "the obligation to name and denounce the idols before which people bow, to identify the power of sin present in social structures, and to advocate in hope with poor and powerless people.* In its ordination rites, this church has consistently affirmed the expectation "to give faithful witness in the world through word and deed and "to serve the needy, care for the sick, comfort the distressedi Though these expectations are made explicit for rostered ministers, they are part of this church's calling shared by all, irrespective of particular offices and roles within the church.

This role of holding civic leaders accountable applies to both religious and secular institutions when they abuse or overreach their authority. This church says, with Martin Luther, that "to rebuke* those in authority "through God's Word spoken publicly, boldly and honestly" is "not seditious" but "a praiseworthy, noble, and... particularly great service to God."

Efforts toward justice-seeking, advocacy, social change, and addressing all forms of civic life require care, patience, and wise distinctions. Civic participation in these forms may be controversial, and worshiping communities need to take time to discern and identify common parameters for action. Each service ministry, advocacy effort, or social change ministry warrants careful selection.

Theologically it is important to recognize that the exertion of social power when addressing or challenging civic life is part of this church's work under the left hand of God. Though the church's message of the gospel is sure, we cannot know what the outcomes of exerting social power in public actions will be. We must consistently evaluate whether neighbor justice, especially for the marginalized, is being served by the prophetic presence of this church.

I am so fucking tired of this shit and I will see Gianforte in hell (assuming he does not catch these hands IN MINECRAFT first)

Two text messages, one of which is unsolicited

Hi Brigit, your may have heard about the effort to bring Montana flat income tax.
How would it impact you, and why is it a good thing for the state? I hope you'll join me at a town hall meeting in Missoula on Wednesday night. It starts at 6:30pm. Can you be there?

She has a long story about one time in middle school when she was a flutist and tried to get one over on another girl so she could get first chair and this story was supposed to reveal a lot about how we need to have compassion for our perceived enemies and all i could think was

I just want to tell you that some people have war in their countries.

Here, we could all use a vibe shift, so here’s a little hound puppy at the wedding reception last night. This is Teak. His ears are bigger than his head and I would die for him
