Received a note in the collection plate directing me to: 1. Stop using incense (last time was Christmas Eve) 2. Improve the hymns (Hymnal 1982) 3. Use more humor (what?!) 4. Be more patriotic (no)

@ShaneClaiborne Your white privilege is showing, and you’re embarrassing yourself again. You are loosing all credibility.

I cannot support Biden — not because he is elderly or struggles to communicate —but because he has funded and defended unimaginable suffering in Gaza. I genuinely believe he is an accomplice to war crimes. And Trump would certainly be even worse. That’s why I think we have to demand that there is another, better way forward. Biden needs to step down and let someone else take the wheel.

@amjunek The audacity to act as if Rome gets to define who wears Eucharistic vestments. I hope their priest then quite wearing the collar that was created by Presbyterians.

If women can’t be ordained, stop baptizing them. If women can’t serve as priests of the new covenant, then stop nourishing them with Christ’s Body and Blood. They are either full members of the Church, or they are not. If you did not want to be rude, you would have said nothing.

I don’t want to be rude about this lady but she and everyone has to understand that for Catholics this is the visual equivalent of hearing a metal stylus squealing on a slate. It is almost physically painful. This is not going to change because it is an appropriate reaction. 1/2

@HollyStallcup Basically only Texas and a few border towns in Oklahoma and Louisiana. I did a deep dive on this like a year ago.

If you were raised going to a Christian church on a regular basis, did you know as a kiddo which denomination of Christianity with which it was associated? Just wondering.

@theodoresomes Absolutely I sometimes learned more from my Godly play kids than I did from my seminary professors.

I 100% think that Godly Play (and similar types of curriculums) are the best type of teaching for children available.

@revshelbs @vicarofe I love ashes to go, especially if there is a good place to do it where people can walk up.

A parishioner invited an acquaintance to meet her at church for the first time. The person said she couldn’t come back at 6 for the Ash Wednesday service. I offered to give her ashes right then and there and she declined. She said it wasn’t right to do it without the liturgy.

@vicarofe @dvdpeters I used to feel this way until I became a campus minister. Let me tell you, the way I’ve seen the Holy Spirit move through ashes to go changed all of that.

@dvdpeters I agree with her and therefore have not been a fan of "Ashes to Go."
