Kansas refugee. A dissident and resisting the empire every day. Episcopal priest- the same Church as Bishop Budde.

- Alex is now one of the countless martyrs of empire through the centuries, including Jesus.
- We don’t need Caesar’s sword as the Ring of Power, for Jesus has already given the church two powers—the power of forgiveness (the keys of the kingdom) and the power of the Holy Spirit.

- “Waiting for Christianity to arrive on the shores of America.”
- “Christianity the way it is preached is nothing but a way to torment people, and it’s only getting worse…” Asle from Septology by Jon Fosse.
- To all who celebrate: Merry Christmas from my beautiful family to yours!
- Thirty-four years ago today, I was ordained a priest in Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I am grateful and humbled for all my experiences through the years. It’s been an amazing journey full of twists and turns but a deep personal blessing that God continues to take me deeper.
- What would happen if moral values shaped our economic life rather than market forces?
- “The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.”- GK Chesterton
- I recommend Brian’s reflections. He articulates my feelings/experiences of well-meaning preachers who lose the mystery of the Gospel story, attempting to somehow solve it, losing the beauty of it in the process.
- The gospel is not a fiction, but it is a story. brianzahnd.substack.com/p/lord-of-th...
- I don’t have Senators I can contact because both are *rumpers. I could call them but the calls would be ignored. I hope the Dems don’t cave.

- Reposted by SkepticalPriestBishop Craig Loya is speaking to the Fall Meeting of the House of Bishops of the #Episcopal Church about the missional journey of being a remnant church. We need to invest in strengthening the core, not convincing the edges as we focus on launching and canoes more than repairing the ocean liner. ⚓️
- Church being Church!
- Kansas will see a large number of rural hospitals closing and a equally horrific number of poor people losing health insurance but I bet the rural support of our two awful Senators (who will vote for the reconciliation bill) will still be strong. Kansas always votes against its own self interest.
- So Texas is going to demand the Ten Commandments be posted in reach classroom? I wonder if it has to be in English?If I were forced to do so, I would use the Hebrew language version.... It's more accurate than most English translations and no student would have a clue to what it said.
- I’m thrilled to be a priest in the Episcopal Church.
- Did he really say this?
- Read this earlier today: Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.
- Anyone feel like a game of catch?

- Reposted by SkepticalPriestTODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement
- Just watched A Rebel with a Cause, world premiere of sincerely yours, Pauli Murray. Inspiring and encouraging. #resist
- One of many things that will happen. In the meantime #resist.
- What's that I feel this morning? Hope... that's what it is. I feel hope. I think we are going to rise up and meet the challenges FOTUS and his ilk have created. Let's go!!
- A Moral Calling open.substack.com/pub/daviddar...
- Read and remember.
- What to do? Follow the poets.
- Evangelical Xns are the loudest and most visible self-identified christians. They want to impose their version of Xnty on everyone else, by force if necessary, and are motivated by narrow minded fear and rage. I don't recognize this brand of Xnty. It bares little resemblance to the historic faith.
- This is why we need to filter the noise out. FOTUS is a narcissist who wants everyone talking about him. Remember how Mexico was going to build the wall and pay for it? Take away his oxygen by not posting or listening to his insanity.
