Ok #GC79 folks, thoughts on this piece from @Sojourners? The headline is, to my mind, misleading (not that this is a rare thing in regard to TEC). |sojo.net/articles/why-episcopal-c...

I used Uber the first time while in Austin for #gc79. I have to ask: does anyone else open the app on occasion just to see the little car icons moving around?

High point of #Gc79 for me was the cgreat work of the #MeToo committee. Grateful fir the committee and for the conversation between @gaycjen and @rebeccacanticle that gave it its birth. #gc79

And I am late to this party, but @hayesesq is a gift to the church, and not just because he’s a good lawyer. #gc79

Many people have worked to move the #Episcopal Church almost all the way to sacramental marriage equality, but after a General Convention I’m always especially aware of the work of @revsusanrussell @SamCandler & @RMeyersLiturgy #GC79

.@episcopal_news’s coverage of #GC79 was excellent. My hat is off to all the journalists who weathered a very difficult few years there, and are now doing impressive work.

Progress #GC79:

2/2 Both Marshall and Murray were voted to previous versions of the calendar. It is discriminatory to make them get second approvals. But the way we've gone at this, we've necessitated it. So let's get it done this morning. #GC79

1/2 General Convention 2012 meets in Baltimore. Fun fact about St. James Church in Baltimore: Thurgood Marshall attended as a child; Pauli Murray was baptized there. @PB_Curry was rector. #GC79, let's fix the mess we've created by restoring Marshall and Murray to the calendar.

Overheard at General Convention: "You know the saying 'not my monkeys, not my circus?' I say that a lot. Then I look around here and I think, yes, these are my monkeys, this is my circus." #GC79

So where are my twitter peeps grabbing supper after the Eucharist? #gc79

D046 (Expansive-Language Liturgical Resources) is coming to HoD in a bit. I am unimpressed by Committee 12's edits. They are timid. #GC79

The next General Convention is in Baltimore, hometown of both Thurgood Marshall and Pauli Murray. #GC79

Hooray! More done than yet to be done. We just concurred on pursuing closer ties with the United Methodist Church (not full communion yet, as one deputy seemed to hint in debate). #GC79

I'd rather we not strip the lesser feasts from the calendar in the BCP. #GC79

Here's me waiting for someone to mention the absence of Thurgood Marshall and Pauli Murray from the proposed Lesser Feasts and Fasts and proposing a way to fix that. #GC79

Is "accretion" biased language? #GC79

Some of the challenge in talking about Israel in our current social context is that while it once was not a partisan issue, it has been pushed into becoming both partisan and ideological. That makes reasonable & indeed truthful discussion much more difficult & fraught. #GC79

Sleep well #GC79. Here's what we have waiting when we awaken:

Something--whatever could it be?--has caused a spike in my twitter activity. Good night House of Twitter. #GC79 is nearly history. Hard to believe. It always seems so long yet goes so fast. #GCafterdark

General Convention is so wonderfully inefficient. We've spent approximately 20 minutes debating a motion that may have saved fifteen. #GC79 #GCAfterdark

@HODPlatform Random question about the bible that is open on the floor of convention. Is it a bible specifically for that purpose, or is it from a particular congregation, is it particularly old etc... #GC79 GCAfterdark

To "memorialize in the context would mean to commend by authority. When we present a memorial to convention, it's a petition or request, or conveys information. When convention memorializes, it commends with authority. https://x.com/FrJody/status/1017160517096439808 #GC79

The '79 will only be there forever if GC refuses to act in the future. The reason the 1662 is still the standard book in the C of E is because parliament has to approve any changes to the BCP and alternatives are a work-around. #GC79

Sam Candler quoting William Porcher DuBose to support concurrence on A068. "Contraries do not necessarily contradict, nor need opposites always oppose" From The Gospel in the Gospels #YSR #GC79

Budgets are very important. They are missional documents in the sense that they reveal our priorities. The presentation of them is also dreadfully boring. Deadly. There's nothing to be done. It's just dry. Especially when you're tired. #GC79

Good question.
