This is wild. My friends who live in Sarnia have been campaigning against this woman for years.

This is really cool

It's spring now they said.

Church tonight felt pretty joyful! The twice a year organist rocked it with a brass quartet to accompany, and champagne was popped after the service to celebrate. Plus we had a good crew out for pizza after.

Happy Easter!

Won't get reported as much as Cardinal being blocked but worth noting that IDF also locked the inhabitants of Taybeh, a Christian village, inside their town today, preventing them from travelling to Bethlehem or elsewhere to celebrate Palm Sunday.

I'm so happy for your students. Very blessed indeed.

I took Dan Epp-Tiessen's course Apocalypse Then and Now in undergrad and it was fantastic. For one class we watched one of the left behind movies paired with Barbara Rossing's book The Rapture Exposed. I don't know if that's cool, but it was kind of fun.

Thanks! I will check these out.

Have you written anything on this topic? Or do you know anyone who has? I would be curious to learn more (I'm in Winnipeg, so unfortunately I can't go to your talk. My brother lived in Hamilton and died of cancer, so your topic is one I've spent some time thinking about).

You ever think about how we could lose over 50% of species in the world by 2100 if the planet warms up to 3.2 degrees Celsius? (We're already slated to lose 6% of insects, 8% of plants, and 4% of vertebrates at 1.5 degrees, the most optimistic target.)

So so good. They came to Winnipeg Folk Fest ten years ago and I've loved them ever since. Would love to see them again.

For a charitable read on this, it's to practice the virtue of hospitality. For an uncharitable read it's an excuse to proselytize.

The World Council of churches and other groups are putting together resources and webinars to support the development of liturgical resources for the Feast of Creation' to be celebrated liturgically this year on the first Sunday of September. Here are a few resources:

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

Incredible

I just attended a conference where Melissa Florer-Bixler was the key note on the book of revelation. It was excellent.

Anthony the Great vs. Paul of Thebes | Lent Madness

I'm having a lot of fun with this. And what a coincidence, we're doing a series in the saints for lent at church and last night was Saint Anthony and Paul of Thebes! I voted for Paul because I think the ravens are cool. www.lentmadness.org/2026/02/anth...

All good owls! I'd say a great horned owl, or snowy owl. (You wouldn't find a barn owl in the boreal forest. Though they do look awesome, and I'm sure they are magical).
