The Anglican tradition, as I have received it: "the absolute priority of the Bible, a catholic loyalty to the sacraments, and a habit of cultural sensitivity and intellectual flexibility." --Rowan Williams

@davidjn_ @ASPavement By the sounds of it--literally--he has landed well.

@cdnusboy The Director of Music there, Gabriel O'Brien, was our organist @ASPavement from Lent 2024 to Easter 2025. We remember him fondly!

No visit to Nova Scotia is complete without worshipping at the heart of Canadian Anglicanism.

Breaking social media silence: Last night in Nova Scotia, had to get the Fish 'n Chips.

Out of an abundance of caution for everyone’s safety during the extreme weather, we have made the difficult decision to cancel in person services today at Messiah, St. Paul. We look forward to gathering again next week. With every blessing, Rev. Dave+

Farewell for Lent, friends. I will be taking a social media break for Lent. See you in Holy Week. "I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent...".

My faith doesn't make the storms of life disappear. It just promises me I'm not rowing alone in the dark. And honestly, that's the bigger miracle.

@RussoHockey IIHF reffing at its best.

This is truly unbelievable. Czech’s go-ahead goal in the third period, they had six guys on the ice in the D zone, in the O-zone and finally on the celly

@ArlieColes I suppose Ash Wednesday is equivalent for liturgical Christians what the late Friday afternoon announcement is for governments: folks probably wont see it. But some have, those quite wounded by the cancellation, and those triumphant. Oh well, back to my glass house.

For those following developments in the ACNA:

Pretty awesome and unique to watch Canada advance in the Olympics while working in the foyer of the House of Commons

@Patrick_Reusse Hey Patrick, you can always visit an Episcopal Church, ashes without the guilt + : )

1) You know what’s sneakiest day of year for a Catholic of long-ago good standing? Ash Wednesday. You’re going along, living your easy-peasy life, and boom: Lent starts & you know what a disappointment you’d be to your devote Irish mother, who left this Earthly orb at age 51.

It is only by earnest, and persistent, and sometimes painful discipline that we are weaned from mindless conformity to worldly ends, and find that renewal of the mind which is spiritual freedom and maturity.  That liberation is what Lent is all about.  --Robert Crouse

I sense this may be my lentiest Lent yet.

Can confirm.

@benjamindcrosby Seeing this from here in Minneapolis, after a month like we've endured in the Churches and in our neighbourhoods, and I am not feeling this Christendom.
