I appreciate their gesture, but I'm disappointed they stopped short of naming the execution that's scheduled in Tennessee for December 11 or asking the Governor to stop it.

What's this from?

and is something I may have to think about eventually, but I’m more worried about caring for the Body of Christ if their rights are stripped away by the government.

That’s a big presumption, in some dioceses. And I’m much more concerned about how we care for the laity. Is our theology subject to the law of man? Will we revert to some odd piecemeal approach where we believe marriage means different things in different places? Clergy discipline is important…

Hate to say it, but this could be coming up sooner rather than later. @scottagunn.bsky.social - do you know of any conversations around what the day after looks like? ⚓

That seems problematic in many places, for obvious reasons.

Asked about this recently and the response was... not encouraging. ⚓

Link??

Yes please!

Are there any Anglo-Catholic crews making anything for sale? Not to feed the (capitalistic) beast, but I'd love devotional materials outside of just St. Augustine's and ACNA products, the latter of which I try to avoid.

Thank you! Would definitely be interested in your essay when it's done as well.

I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on NAECC. I’ve been interested in CFC and OSF but am an outsider to religious life obviously

To ponder if we acted like we actually believed the things we say we believe...

I'd love to see a stripped down version for personal use that's just the four offices, propers, lectionary, and readings bound together in one volume.

I love going to services there, but it's definitely a learning curve! SSJE has it all in a binder, so all you need is that with a hymnal, but it obviously doesn't include the readings. There's the Prayer Book Office from the 1980s, but it doesn't include the readings and has other things included.

Just requires one to have the BCP and hymnal open and or flipping back and forth until you’ve memorized the office lol

Maybe I’m just overlooking it, but it looks like the ‘82 only has MP and EP, no noonday office or compline.

I’ll have to check it out - one day away from SSJE and I’m already missing their chanted offices. Thanks!

that comes from THEIR struggle with the text - not what a hyper advanced autocorrect can spit out.

AI can't write a sermon for the same reason a robot can't consecrate the Eucharist - it has no soul, no mind, no vocation to ministry. Outsourcing one's ministry to AI feels, to be honest, sinful. ⚓
