Hey The Living Church... are you sure "parody" is the word you want to go with on this one?

Tabling for our campus ministry at the W&M, and a student just came up to us and admitted she knew nothing of the Episcopal Church, but after Bp. Budde's sermon, she wants to learn more! Evangelism!

If the argument is that Bp. Budde, in a religious setting, overstepped her bounds by being political (a stance with which I disagree, she preached the Gospel), perhaps our political institutions should not overstep their bounds and decide what constitutes theological orthodoxy.

Just a thought.
GOP lawmaker files resolution to condemn Bishop Budde for her sermon. Ridiculous assault on religious liberty. Gov.'t shouldn't decide which sermons are acceptable or not. This sadly fits with how Trumpian politicians & preachers are responding to Budde (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/brave-serm...)

Last spring, I was in York (the old one, in England) on pilgrimage with our college students. We had the honor of spending part of the day with the Archbishop of York, who was generous with his time – but then he had to leave for an interview with the BBC.

Bob Uecker had another critical skill we don’t see much anymore: he knew how to be absolutely hysterical without being cruel or mean to other people. That’s not easy to do, and I suppose it helps when you provide so much of your own material.

Apparently we're about to consider whether to ghost one of our resolutions. In a parliamentary way. #gc81

As we hear from the AMAZING Official Youth Presence, I make my triennial announcement: The Diocese of Southern Virginia has a canonical requirement to include a youth or young adult as one of our deputies or alternates, who attends convention regardless of position. #gc81

Congratulations, Presiding Bishop-elect Sean Rowe! Now, let's get to work and keep on following Jesus.

(Let's vote first. Then get to work.) #gc81

Did I have "impromptu dance party at the end of Eucharist while the Bishops begin their election" on my #gc81 bingo board? No, but that was awesome.

I am truly thankful for the work of the nominating committee and also #thiscouldhavebeenanemail. #gc81

That a clerical collar made its way back from a local restaurant to our lost and found is delightful - and suggests our witness is felt here in Louisville, thanks be to God! #gc81

Louisville, KY, is a sister city with Tamale, Ghana - the Diocese of Tamale is host to Episcopal Relief & Development's partner ministry ADDRO, which I had the honor of witnessing some years ago. Pictured is the former dancing Bishop of Tamale, of blessed memory. #gc81

Only the National Altar Guild Association would attend to details such as putting stickers on hundreds of individual pieces of candy. They are doing God's work, yes they are. #gc81

Here's a budget request: a line-by-line breakdown of previous triennium budget and actual income and expense. Not that we'd want that kind of transparency. #gc81

Sooooo.. If Executive Council can change the budget each year (not a bad mechanism), what are we doing in this session? #gc81

Funding "Intentionally left blank" at $45,000 might be the most Episcopal thing we will see today. #gc81
