“Robin I thought Anglicans weren’t ok with the pope?”
Me: Well… have you ever heard of Anglican papalism? 🤓
jk But I am impressed and hopeful with Pope Leo, and I also had a photo of Pope Francis in my house and I sat vigil and prayed a novena for him when he passed.

I had the honor of officiating VTS's TDOR requiem this year, which means they got enough high church nonsense to last them a lifetime

Individualism is important. We believe in inherent human dignity. We don’t sacrifice one for the collective. However, this argument is terribly flawed because of dualistic thinking. Individualism and collectivism are interdependent. Humans crave a place within a collective. 🧵🪡
Tucker Carlson describes Israeli PM Netanyahu as Western civilization’s “main enemy.”
He says Zionism and other forms of tribalism are “an attack on Western civilization.”

"unity without multiplicity is tyranny, multiplicity without unity is fragmentation" 🙏🏼
This is one of the most powerful and beautiful images of the Trinity I have seen outside of Duns Scotus and Bonaventure.

Have you pondered the Incarnation lately? This Advent consider it… it will change your life. See 👇🏼
Ultimately, I have faith that God took on human flesh and walked amonst us and saved and saves all creation. Every time I have leaned into faith in this, I have found my life to make more sense and the hope I have in Christ keeps me going. That is enough for me.

“…that we may be one.”

“Dorothy Day took a stand. She saw that her country’s model of development did not create equal opportunities for all. She understood that for too many, the dream was a nightmare, that as a Christian she had to get involved with workers, with migrants, with those discarded by an economy that kills.”

As we ready our hearts and minds for worship on this Christ the King Sunday, remember the thousands of people being held by this criminal regime. This is America, and it cannot continue. Come Jesus, Come. Rule over the nations, and cast the mighty from their thrones. Lift up the lowly.

I’m reading #DilexiTe… it’s such a necessary encyclical for the western world right now. Paragraphs 9 & 10 are very striking to me that Pope Leo mentions the marginalized of society. To me signaling to not only immigrants, but lgbtq+ people globally.

Start an order of Poor Clares in the Episcopal Church and start a media empire devoted to broadcasting humanist apostolic Christianity devoted to the sacraments, with a liberation focus, to show the world the goodness of God, Christian service, and faithfully lead people to Jesus, away from hatred.
What's your absolutely unworkable plan to drop out of your current life (or at least work life) and do something completely different?

While the number of male Orthodox converts is at an all time high, so is the number of young women leaving the church is also record high numbers…
That is tragic… but even more so because early Christianity was largely a women’s movement—…the first proclaiming the inherent dignity of women.

Tomorrow is Christ the King Sunday… it aligns with the O Antiphon “O Rex Gentium” if you do 7 wk Advent, observing one O Antiphon each week. It’s one of my favorite traditions. As the church enters into Advent those who observe 7 wk are well into Advent season using the lectionary we already have!
