Liturgy Nerds: Where could I get a range of incense fragrances to sample? What's your go-to place to buy it? ⚓

Clergy question: I am trying to update the register of church membership and rites (new church) and I see that in the index some baptized individuals appear as B1 or B2 and Confirmed as C1 C2. What is the difference? Is B1 C1 baptized confirmed in the church and B2 C2 baptized confirmed elsewhere? ⚓

I'm working on an Adult Forum on how Episcopalians read the Bible. I am curious, what translation do you usually read? ⚓

The true measure of citizenship in these United States lies not merely in the freedoms we claim, but in how faithfully we use our liberty in service of justice for all. Great day to celebrate George's 294th birthday. He’s looking remarkably good for his age. #newUScitizen #mountvernon

I am grateful for the Ash Wednesday letter by Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe. In a time shaped by division, outrage, and hardened hearts - what we might call “Pharaoh’s imagination” - we are invited to turn toward God’s imagination. ⚓ www.episcopalchurch.org/publicaffair...

It’s a reminder of the sacred trust I carry. My desire to fashion my life in accordance to the Gospel, and to nourish Christ's people from the riches of his grace. I don't always live out gracefully, and I need these prayerful reminders.

One of the moments I treasure most as a priest is vesting for the Eucharist: the quiet ritual of prayer and preparation before stepping into mystery. Each short prayer as I vest draws me deeper into the grace of what we’re about to celebrate: the Sacrament of Love. ⚓

Sorry for your loss, and for all the terrible pain, fear, and confusion created by our state of affairs. Sending you lots of love.

But God sees it all. God welcomes it all. And God longs to redeem it all with her boundless love.

Blessed All Hallow's Eve. Today we remember that all is sacred. We are all called to holiness - to friendship with God. Even the parts of ourselves that feel like monsters and ghouls, the pieces we hide behind masks, the things we want to disguise afraid they’ll make us unlovable. ⚓

Please pray for me, and for the people of Grace in The Plains (they have no idea what they’ve done by calling me!). They will need your prayers, and I will surely need them too. gracetheplains.org

As I prepare to begin a new chapter as the next Rector of Grace in The Plains, I do so with a full heart. I go from Grace to Grace, confident that, in the words of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, “God’s grace is enough for me.”

Padre Santiago Rodriguez @thepilgrimpadre.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

I’m profoundly grateful for my time at Grace / La Gracia - a community that has loved me so well and taught me so much about what it means to be a priest. I love serving with and among the wonderful people of this congregation.

I am grateful for Heidi Kim's remarks: Heidi Kim, from the Diocese of Minnesota, said she feared the committees on Dispatch of Business would be expected to work even harder so others would have more time for fellowship.

My prayer today is that Sheriff Casey and all Deputy Sheriffs may act with moral courage, uphold due process, and let compassion be their guiding compass."

130

Padre Santiago Rodriguez @thepilgrimpadre.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

That promise leads us here today. In these troubling times, may we stand firm in hope, guided not by fear, but by faith. The faith that tells us we belong to one another, and that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy or our community’s care.

As Christians, and people of faith, we have promised to strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being.

From my statement: "Welcoming the stranger is not a political act. It is a sacred obligation. As people of faith we cannot turn away from the suffering of our neighbors. When faced with a choice between the demands of earthly power and the teachings of Jesus, we must follow Christ.

In the letter, we asked the Sheriff's Office to stop (1) holding people longer to allow for ICE to pick them up, (2) making courtesy calls to ICE, and (3) transferring people to ICE custody without judicial warrants.

Padre Santiago Rodriguez @thepilgrimpadre.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

We hand delivered a letter signed by 24 local groups and leaders in Alexandria demanding that Sheriff Sean Casey ends his practice of voluntarily collaborating with ICE. We wanted to give it to Sheriff Casey, but were denied access and we delivered it to Deputy Sheriffs.

2/2 "We believe the answer to this question is a resounding “YES” because this has been borne out many times in Anglican experience and intuition from the Reformation to the present time."

1/2 Love this. "The practical and theological question before us is this: Can communion with the Risen Christ contain conflict, so that conflict and disagreement lose their power to divide?"

Great article on Anglo-Catholicism by Omar Cisneros. "In the Eucharist, we do not recall Christ like a faded photograph; we encounter him. The past is not gone—it is made present." ⚓ livingchurch.org/covenant/cis...

In their view, those structures were meant to foster authentic dialogue, discernment, and shared mission, but genuine dialogue, they argue, is impossible without truth. And false believers cannot have the truth. ⚓

010

Padre Santiago Rodriguez @thepilgrimpadre.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

From GAFCON’s perspective, the Anglican Communion fractured not over human disagreement, but over the promotion of this false Gospel. Their mission, then, is to save Anglicanism by rejecting the false Gospel, restoring what they see as true orthodoxy, and abandoning existing Anglican structures. ⚓

130

Padre Santiago Rodriguez @thepilgrimpadre.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

My main beef lies with GAFCON’s central claim: that much of Anglicanism has turned to a “different Gospel,” one that strays from apostolic teaching because we no longer know how to read Scripture correctly. ⚓
