Of course. The actual essence of the objection (for me) is it cannot be reasonably relied upon to have a robust relationship with the truth.

YouVersion has been very lax about user privacy for a long time (this is from 2013): slate.com/technology/2... Catena is run by a small team of Coptic developers and works well for users from a wide range of traditions (in terms of commentaries, lectionaries, etc).

FYI if you were looking for a reason to get rid of the ubiquitous (and creepily intrusive) “YouVersion” Bible app, the recent update to Catena blows it out of the water.

Gotta recommend the documentary INTO GREAT SILENCE about the Carthusian motherhouse in France. An hour-plus without dialogue… and then it snows and they pull out the sleds.

Two fighter jet flyovers scheduled over the White House this week - one at 5pm today and another at noon tomorrow. These are incredibly loud and, if you aren't expecting them, frightening.

DC is a great city of common, collective, shared public places, and we intend to keep it that way. Save your isolation bubble for the suburban car commute.

This is like how after a semester of college my mom expressed genuine concern I wasn’t experiencing enough struggle. The lack of hostility in the weather weakens the moral fiber.

(The whole notion of local Orthodox churches being “different” is one of our big branding problems. Without a pope, it’s all locally led franchises, but we mucked up “abroad” so now Greeks and Russians and the rest are competing for resources in America & western Europe.)
