Proclaiming “Jesus is Lord” was perhaps the first Christian credo... As authoritarianism, chaos, lies, and violence rise around the world, we who follow Jesus do well to join the martyrs who went before us in proclaiming “Jesus is Lord!” ⚓️

All of you people who like to name your Sundays (e.g. “Transfiguration Sunday” or “Christ the King Sunday”), what do you call this week?
Dreadful Portent Sunday?
Inwardly Digest Sunday?
Famine and Plague Sunday?

Woo hoo! I just won a free trip to Phoenix in July 2027! Kidding. I’m delighted and honored to have been elected to serve as a Deputy to the next General Convention of the Episcopal Church. ⚓️

Episcopalians, this is your occasional reminder that if you must speak of the "Ordination and Consecration" of bishops, our prayer book compels you to use the same term for the "Ordination and Consecration" of priests and deacons.

I briefly enjoyed the idea of having a functional opposition.
Not making rash promises now, because I want to read full coverage soon and have time to mull things over. But my (probably to be changed later) knee-jerk reaction is that I won’t be voting for any more Democrats. We need a new party.1/2

This is abhorrent, gratuitous cruelty. Anyone who claims to follow Jesus Christ should always be quick to feed the hungry. Deliberate starvation is Satan’s work. Lord, have mercy on our nation. ⚓️

Random question: if Forward Movement had a theme song (ideally from the Hymnal 1982), what would it be? What’s our vibe? ⚓️

Glad Cincinnati did the right thing in our mayoral election today. Even more important than being "not the half-brother of JD Vance", Aftab Pureval has two big things going for him:
1. He's been a good mayor.
2. He really likes my dogs (photo attached for proof)

People seem to be getting Lilly grants for just about anything these days. Do we think they’d give me a million dollars to become a GIF Reply Guy? Maybe with the right, catchy proposal title? ⚓️
