I went to the monthly lunchtime meeting on the clergy of my deanery. (We call it the Clericus.) I wasn't the oldest person there, but I realized that I was the longest in holy orders, having been ordained half a century ago in 1975. The lunch was at the church I served as rector for 14 years. 😀

Today (Advent 2) in the Revised Common Lectionary retains the Epistle reading from pre-Reformation lectionaries. Romans 15 is also the inspiration of the Bible Sunday collect, which The Episcopal Church has moved to Proper 28. Happy Bible Sunday, whenever you observe it.

Decades ago I boasted to a beloved parishioner that I had made it to the 3rd week of Advent without having heard The Little Drummer Boy.
A few days later my apartment door bell rang at 7 a.m.
There was Joe with a boom box, and as I opened the door,
Parrumpapum.
Parish ministry at its best!

YouTube keeps sending me videos of Black women's groups from the late 60s. I loved those singers: They were the most popular voices, made lots of money for their white producers, and I think that they have been under-recognized for their role on the road to equality. (76 yr old man here)

Is it too early in Advent for my annual reminder of why the spelling and punctuation of Hymn 105 (Episcopal Hymnal 1982) are correct?
God rest you [not Ye] merry, gentlemen.
They are not 'merry gentlemen' but gentlemen being rested merry by God.

Don't you hate it when you've heard a song on YouTube years ago, you remember that it was in Spanish, that it was sung by a choral group, and you can almost hum the first line or two, but it just won't come back?!?!
