Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Being in the Episcopal Church makes me feel youthful, and then I go home and have to message my little sister to learn what emojis we’re using for laughter now. 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just found out I’m preaching for the first time ever on GAUDETE SUNDAY! Heck yes, what a win :). 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 24/09/2026178 days until I get to hear All Glory Laud and Honor again 😌 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Guys, I went to a sung/high Mass today except that 100 percent of the music was contemporary and even the Mass parts were contemporary settings. I was visiting with the Bishop but this is just…what this church does every Sunday. Spectacular. Anglicanism really is a big tent, I love it here. 🕯️ 1131
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 19/09/2026New Jersey activity of the week: Doordashed Fat Sandwiches 😌. For those outside New Jersey, a fat sandwich is a sub, except the ingredients are all fried food. Mine contains French fries, mozzarella sticks, jalepeno poppers, hot sauce, and ranch 😌. 250
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I have to say, reading Anselm is really confirming to me that as much as I love a good argument, “it logically makes sense and would reasonably follow” is just not how we should make doctrinal assertions. Sounds doctrine needs more than logic. 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Reading Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo and was just sent into hysterics over the genuine line “I have nothing I could raise as an objection to anything you have said. But you are scaring me just a little.” It’s nice to know medieval theologians were just like us 😌. 051
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I am so unfathomably excited to go to Renn Faire this month. This is my Super Bowl. I am doing nothing but constructing my outfit in my head all the time. 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It is very sweet to invite my husband to men’s group things, and he is always happy to be invited, but it’s always a little funny when the event is like “Cigars! Beer! Football! Steak!” Because my husband is more of a dungeons and dragons, fix your computer, fruity cocktail kinda guy. 021
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 14/09/2026First Sunday as a ministry intern, third-ish week of seminary, and a roaring program year in the diocese of New Jersey! I’m tired but so so happy :) 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 10/09/2026If you need to know ANYTHING about the diocese of New Jersey, it’s in our newsletter this week. This thing is LONG lol. Also I redid the template, so for my NJ folks, let me know your thoughts! 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Genuinely cannot find Mexican food in Jersey that is even moderately similar to the Mexican food I grew up eating in the Carolinas and it’s devastating me. Idk if it’s a different style of cuisine or what but everything in New Jersey is comparably so dry and sad 😭. 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I take 5 psychic damage every time I say the contemporary Our Father. 272
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Reading Sarum Missal for class rn. My new favorite term for the cup is “celestial beverage” lol 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Wearing jeans today, feels like everyone knows I’m not a real pants-wearer 😔 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Something I find very funny is that when I scroll on tiktok every single mainline clergy person that appears on my feed is marked as “people you may know.” I want to be bothered by this, but statistically, I probably do know them lol. 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 22/08/2026My greatest op in this life is whoever decided that the bathrooms in nice restaurants should be nearly entirely dark. Just WHY? Photo evidence of a bathroom in Brooklyn I had the displeasure of experiencing today. (Yes, all the lights are on.) 010

Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Life in the 21st century is so funny because what do you MEAN I just had a stress nightmare about posting something uncouth on TikTok (I have never made a tiktok lol) 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Just had a surprise 1 hour call where I had to biblically defend women being called to the priesthood. Some key quotes include “I just think women are called to a softer life, you shouldn’t have to do all that hard work!” And “How would you balance being a wife and being a priest??” 😭 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Finally got to see into the Nassau Christian Center, which is normally locked the second church is over on Sunday. The report is: it looks like if a Methodist church had a giant screen. And also a worship leader in jeans. My curiosity is satisfied. Photo of the outside for reference. 020
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Boss told me to “do everything I could” to get Lay Deputy Certifications in by the deadline, so this meme went into the diocesan newsletter today lol. 130
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Long pauses at the asterisk in psalms feels so silly to me. Can we please just read 😭? 440
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I think I have officially graduated from dental anxiety guys. I’m actually sitting in the waiting room annoyed (because I do not have time for this appointment) rather than shaking and terrified like I would have been a year ago. Progress! 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Got asked about my stance on full communion with the Methodists at a time where I was not expecting it. Unfortunately just said “no.” Probably should have aimed for more nuance there… 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I like that other countries still humble their attorneys by making them wear a powdered wig. We should get back to that in the US. I’ve met lawyers, I think it would be good for them. 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Plotting and scheming my way to General Convention as we speak. I don’t think anyone has ever tried this hard to go to Arizona in July tbh 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Just got this photo of myself from a 4th of July church event. It went in their newsletter. My mom can never see this, I am not sitting like a lady 😔. Southern mothers do not like that. 100
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 14/07/2026As an amateur theologian re-reading Warrior Cats, I am FASCINATED by the religion present in this series. Starclan is truly unlike any other world religion I can think of. I am seriously contemplating writing something about it because it’s so insane. 000

Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Reason #458 I married my husband: he saw a family struggling with their umbrella at the beach and immediately ran up to help. I hadn’t even noticed they were struggling and he was already over there lol. Dude was BORN to help out, I love him. 110
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 10/07/2026My favorite regional difference in common sayings is that in the south, children are told “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit,” and in the northeast they’re told “you get what you get and you don’t get upset.” Because of accents, both of these rhyme in their respective locales. 000
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 02/07/2026It’s so hot in my office my command strips melted off the wall 😔 000

Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Ordinations are always a blessing, but especially this one, where I’m lucky to know and love so many of these new deacons! Anyway, here’s some photos I took on Saturday :) 020
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Oh gosh, I’ve been an Episcopalian for long enough that seltzer is starting to taste good. Pray for me, y’all. I fear my ascension to the bourgeoisie is beginning 😔. 030
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 23/06/2026A rough hymn to have as a favorite because I will, objectively, only hear it once a year. 110
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 22/06/2026There are some people within this diocese that hold a treasure trove of otherwise unrecoverable knowledge. I am happy to know this is universal. 140
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Just discovered Anglican style collars + tonsures and I have found a new favorite collar style. Spectacular, no notes. 010
Hailey Hensley @haileydeh.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Stellar weekend recap: - Four wonderful people I know were ordained as deacons in my diocese! - Lots of kiddos did their first communion at church today - Got to help a dear friend in her first service as a deacon - I got to celebrate a different friend getting her PhD AND a tenure-track job 020
