Make Accountability Great Again

I know enough about ethnomusicology to be aware of the power of musical conventions, so I expect that these are simply what TEC is used to. Still, I was surprised.

I’ll be more clear: I was shocked at how unsingable I found most of the melodies. Meter, rhythm, range, pacing, melodic contours—I found all of it surprisingly unintuitive.

Of course not. I’m a classically trained musician, and I’ve got a pretty solid grasp on hymnody and congregational singing—just not in this tradition.

Thanks @adalehunt.bsky.social and @grouchydisciple.bsky.social for weighing in. I’ve only a few weeks of experience with the 1982, but what struck me most is how different the melodic conventions are from what I’m used to (Reformed, Lutheran, and Baptist—and no, not all at once 😂).

TEC friends who also are familiar with other traditions’ hymnody: how do you feel about the 1982 hymnal?

An AI image, ostensibly ofJesus, with the description: “For some evangelical Christians, faith is about having a personal relationship with Jesus. At $1.99 per minute, the tech company Just Like Me is taking that concept to a new level, allowing users to video chat with a personalized Al Jesus. It's part of a larger boom of faith-based Al tools.” BY the Associated Press

“Kids, we haven’t seen digital zoom like this since the 90s”

“This feels like something a previous America would accomplish”

Anchor on ABC naming exactly what I’m feeling.

More of this, please.

Never been more grateful for TACO Tuesday

Tragedies occur because comfortable people value their comfort more than justice.

Though this is the norm, it must not make us numb.

Stand up, congress.
Stand up, church.
Stand up, friends.
Stand up, humans.

If Dusty May loses this he can always land a role on Star Trek

It’s getting a little crazy

If your church allowed an unbiblical (i.e. male) preacher to preach on Easter, find a new church
