Let alone the mine field of where AI is drawing its interpretation from and if it is theologically suitable for your community. AI has its place but never in sermon writing.

It might be however we are still in the conundrum that are Eucharistic spirituality in an Anglican tradition requires the availability of priest. There are currently not enough priest for the vacancies in the UK and since it is Good who generates vocations may God is telling us something.

Why should they when in the history of the Anglican Church the spirituality of weekly Eucharist is actually a more modern ecclesiology. For me it is a question of who you are asking to bring about the desire for weekly Eucharist

Stella Bailey @venstellabailey.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

But would you travel to a church holding a Eucharist or would you expect you church to have Eucharist every Sunday at the service time you like to go to?

My observation about all the safeguarding mishandling being exposed is that so often they lead back to the culture George Carey had and decisions he made that enabled people to stay on post.

Not a fan of communion by extension.. promotes communion on my terms and an expectation that church will be what I want it to be when I turn up to church as opposed to leaning into the wider tapestry of acts of worship.

Utterly depressing news … please do write to Wes Streeting & your local MP. Things are becoming ever more challenging for the trans community, despite the government’s ‘aim’ to make trans lives easier …I feel like the marginalisation of my kind is something few care about apple.news/A_L5vwVZsR06...

O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel; you open and lead the prisoners from the prison house, those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death. He has shown the strength of His arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Glory be…

Generally when the news brings to mind Advent themes it’s the gloomy ones of judgement, but the stories about the prisoners coming out of Assad’s awful political prisons are Adventy in a different and much more joyful way. “The ransomed of the Lord shall return with singing.”

One of the strangest things about politics is how Amerevangelicals, who routinely complain about how they are being “persecuted” because someone said “Happy Holidays,” enthusiastically support the killing of Christians and the destruction of churches.

Good advice here. Particularly the name business, because it seems benign and is an easy bad habit to slip into with a small tight-knit congregation, but it’s really horrid for visitors or newbies (and may contribute to them not sticking around, at that…)

It not about listening to people it’s about not adding to the numbers of a platform so that these with power who manipulate the content can monitories your engagement. Your presence enables the platform to push for advertisement revenue.

Anglican things that get my goat..... "You need to sign the book (service register)"... No you don't, you need to record who took the service, anyone can write that name in and is preferable to a signature as it is likely to be more legible. Just had to get that one off my chest.
