I love that that my uncle sends me an email trying to prove that a majority of Americans are in favor of the Save Act…. (Reader, I don’t).

I saw. 🤬

Folks please contact your Senators and tell them not to overturn this ban. The boundary waters are a beautiful part of Minnesota and the potential for mining in the area would do terrible damage to the environment.

How did you spend your Tuesday evening?

I was mapping out alternative church committee structures for my congregation. Overall satisfied with two of the three options.

And autocorrect strikes again. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Conscientious not contentious.

Having seen others post regarding their own denominations and Contentious Objection, here is a link to a paper explaining what it looks like in the @pcusa.bsky.social, including important conversations to have while discerning that status for oneself.

Dang, this YouTube algorithm is doin’ good tonight. It’s hitting so many of my favorite music videos from the last decade.

Me, a Presbyterian: Bishops ain’t all bad.

From friends today at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut:
“‘Eternal Darkness’ is what today’s campaign against Lebanon was called by Israel. Over 250 deaths, 1500 wounded. But “Eternal Darkness” will not touch OUR souls. Our God-given mission is to bring love in a world full of darkness.”

White House Secures Foreign Steel for Ballroom Project

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.

Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

I really want LEGO to build a set of Baba Yaga’s house on chicken legs.

Agreed!!

It disgusts me that there are people and traditions within Christianity that have taught that we are garbage and horrible and should think nothing of ourselves.

Are we sinful, yes.

Should we practice humility, absolutely.

But we are also beloved of God and bearers of the Divine image.

Bernie's On It......

The pastor is not the church. I don’t think attendance on one day (even Easter) is an indicator of hatred. That’s a very strong word.

I wouldn’t jump to the idea that they hate you, @knowtea.bsky.social.

Alright internet people, what are you recommendations for good quality bath towels?

The harrowing of hell is what's going on right now.🕯
You can feel it.

Authoritarianism is a danger to humanity, it doesn’t matter if it claims to be Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Jewish, Hindu, or something else.

There is a quality to Holy Saturday that brings out ache in the human heart that can only be answered by God.

So the racism and sexism of the anti DEI administration is becoming increasingly overt.

Right. There is some help in repeating prayers week after week.

The professor I had for both classes was VERY into people writing all their own liturgy. Which was a good learning experience, but practically I don’t always have time every week to write fresh liturgy.

MDiv from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (PCUSA affiliated, very ecumenical in practice). I took the Intro to Worship Class and the Worship Practicum.

There was a time when I had respect for Bishop Barron, but that respect was lost several years ago as he joined the Christian Nationalists and MAGA crowd.

The President may, of course, engage in his own expressive conduct, including criticizing the views, reporting, or programming of NPR, PBS, or any other news outlet with whom he disagrees. The government may also fund its own speech and may fund government programs that promote specific perspectives on issues of public importance, and it may decide which views or perspectives to convey—and which not to convey—in any such government speech or program. And it may impose limits on federal grants to ensure that they are deployed to further the legitimate purposes of the program and may pick and choose among applicants based on legitimate criteria. But the First Amendment draws a line, which the government may not cross, at efforts to use government power—including the power of the purse—“to punish or suppress disfavored expression” by others.

BREAKING

Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled.
