Comforting to know I’m in good company, bishop!

I will never forgive AI for introducing em dash self-consciousness to my sermon writing process ⚓

Weird Anglican Twitter (obviously has its roots from quite a while back!)

The Episcopal Church. So many acronyms!

Faith has always gone to space. Artemis II shows how much it has changed. (RNS) — Both Apollo 8 and Artemis II missions included public references to religion, but astronauts aboard the Artemis’ Orion spacecraft struck a broader, more global tone.

It was the. best. (that’s me in the middle holding the bulletin)

At St. John’s Episcopal Church Oakland — our first immersion Baptism by request of 15 yo candidate who did his own sacramental theology work. Happy to share more with credit and deets!

This sounds like an ad, but it's about murder.

Win one for Oakland!

We do the same ... except we drop our collars to the ground at the very end of the stripping of the altar.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

And if you don’t think that was explicitly political you were maybe not watching things like… the sugar cane fields? Electric poles? The men grinding on each other? The little boy? The americas shout out? What moooore do you want?

What made it such a great show is that it was entertaining and layered and explicitly political with excellent music, delightful surprise guests, stunning sets, a clear narrative, a shout out to ALL of the Americas and a cameo from Belcalis.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I think this ride is broken.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

definitely not a universal opinion, but I have also heard that use of NZPB outside its context can smell like appropriation

1. So, an interesting thing about Minneapolis' response to DHS is that it showcases how pushback to Trump's mass deportation efforts developed and expanded over time — and how it involved religious leaders throughout.

Let me explain…

I've been so thankful for @missionlocal.org's coverage
