iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My heart is moved by all I cannot save: so much has been destroyed. I have to cast my lot with those who age after age, perversely, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world. —Adrienne Rich, ‘Natural Resources’ in THE DREAM OF A COMMON LANGUAGE (1978)

The AI detection thing worries me! I tried one with something that I had obviously entirely written myself and it came back as something like 25% suspect AI.

I was doing some outlining this afternoon for a novel that I'm (seemingly perpetually) writing and found myself getting stuck. On a whim, I closed my laptop and picked up my EDC notebook. WHOOSH! The gates opened! Six solid pages of outline/background. Sometimes you just gotta put down the computer!

Even an antipope deserves a day at the ballet! Pope Radislav (aka Rutherford Johnson) is a lecturer in business at the University of Minnesota at Crookston and is my favorite living antipope. 🕯️

I went from hearing confessions at church to the college involvement fair to celebrating Sukkot with the campus Jewish community. What a full and wonderful afternoon/evening! 🕯️

“Nothing is more shameful to a civilized nation than to allow itself to be ‘governed’ by an irresponsible clique of sovereigns who have given themselves over to dark urges – and that without resisting.” – Leaflets of the White Rose, Leaflet 1 (1942) This could have been written today.

I’m not usually much a necktie person, but I saw this extremely cute birds and flowers tie at a thrift store yesterday for $2 and decided it was perfect for my friends Molly and Maryclare’s wedding today!

Two neck ties draped over a light blue
blazer. The tie on the left has flowers and birds and the tie on the right is patterned.

I am not, as you know, the marrying type, but I recently realized that if I was the marrying type, I could not be the rector of my dreamy lil parish because there’s no way we could realistically afford that. Which is a weird realization to have!

Jehovah’s Witnesses stopped me in the airport coming home from your ordination. I was wearing a collar and literally rushing to get to my own church in order to celebrate mass. Read the room, my guys.

Well it’s a moving target, isn’t it? Not only ecumenically but within our own tradition. Even though there’s broad consensus about what it is generally, I think there are lots of little subtheories, most of which (but not all of which!) don’t contradict each other!

(TLDR the imposition of hands was probably not originally the sacramental sign of ordination but was rather a symbolic gesture of election! Only after the 4th C did it come to mean anything more and even then was from presbyters to bishops rather than the other way around!)

There’s a very interesting historical development here that doesn’t totally track with my sense of the importance of the imposition of hands! I’m writing a piece on it actually—this gives me the impetus to work a little more intently on it. Poke me if I don’t post something in a week or so!

There’s something almost transcendental about the ‘holy huddle’ at priestly ordinations. Just an unbroken chain of screwballs who heard a whispered call in the soul’s night and couldn’t resist answering. 🕯️

Just like BCP pp 900, 910, and 921 say that it is Proper 29 and not Christ the King? The people want whimsy, Scott! 😂

Honouring all those lost on 9/11 25 years ago, including Fr. Mychal Judge, FDNY chaplain, the first recorded victim, who gave his life offering hope and prayers amid the tragedy. His courage and compassion remind us to serve others selflessly, even in the darkest moments. #NeverForget
