The Old Testament is full of forgiveness for people who repent of what they've done, so this seems like a you problem.

Oh, and it’s probably not Augustine. It doesn’t show up in any written texts until the 16th century.

Offering a reflection at our choir’s retreat on Saturday and was investigating that quote attributed to Augustine “He who sings, prays twice.” Turns out that’s not the exact quote! It’s “Qui **bene** cantat bis orat” He who sings *well*, prays twice.

I don’t think “Jesus was a victim of capital punishment” is the most compelling case for why Christians should oppose the death penalty.

The absolute chuds who bring up "Romans 13" whenever the government runs roughshod over human rights seem to forget that to get to Romans 13 you need to read Romans 12:19.

Marsha Blackburn should be more worried about the judgment seat of Christ. What ghouls.

Maybe. Though I think we've seen enough establishment Democrats get defeated in primaries by progressives that they will have to take notice.

The new Danny Go! track has a chorus that sounds like a TV on the Radio song but I can't pin down which one.

The Smashing Pumpkins song "Zero" includes the line "And God is empty, just like me" which is a really beautiful summary of Philippians 2.

I’m talking about Caribbean congregations in the United States, whose hospitality is unrivaled. But I would love to visit the islands.

I can think of exactly one appealing thing about being a bishop, and that is visiting Caribbean congregations.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

One of the things I miss since moving from Washington D.C./NoVA back to NY is the pizza. I’m dead serious.

Very glad to hear the General Board of Examining Chaplains has changed the GOEs for next January and is moving to limited resources. I found some of this year’s Qs tested my ability to research quickly rather than integrate what I’ve learned. 📕

Right. I want to be honest and teach them to be critical readers AND I want them to fall in love with the Scriptures and not think “well it’s all made up“

Drafting a confirmation Bible study curriculum and its a real balancing act to teach the Bible as instruction for our faith and also, not hide some of the issues that the Bible creates for us in the instruction of faith.

Diocesan photographer caught the moment I gave my first blessing. And I learned from a friend the name of this child. Thank you, little A, for being my first!
