Listening to Archbp Anne Germond’s address from yesterday and am wondering if the ACoC wants being an influential voice in the public square to be the point of the church, rather than preaching the gospel of salvation for all people…..

Pray for the Arctic!
As climate change, geopolitics and tourism bring the world farther north every year, the Anglican Diocese of the Arctic struggles to attract clergy even as its congregations grow.
A bishop of the Arctic says goodbye
INUKJUAK, Quebec (RNS) — As Canada’s Anglican church dwindles, its most remote (and most expansive) diocese has shown growth. One bishop responsible for that trend is retiring, leaving his successor…

The lectionary readings today were bangers! The sermon pretty well wrote itself. Next few weeks, I’m not so sure…

When others say similar things as I did in my sermon I think I may have been on the right track!
I wonder how often we feel guilty about our failure to progress in our lives as Christians, when what we need to do is to let ourselves be fed - in prayer, in worship, in reading the Scriptures or books that might help us, or giving ourselves time to be silent before God? 2/2

That is the opposite of the Golden Rule……….
Dave Brat, a Senior VP at Liberty University, said today on a local news interview that the tariffs are following “reciprocity,” which he said is the Golden Rule: “whatever you do to us, we’re gonna do to you.”

Get your Lent on
by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word

Get your Lent on
Very happy to see my King with President Zelenskyy!

Just open the Bible and read with an open heart
No need to get stressed about rules or steps in lectio divina. Just read the Bible with an open heart and mind, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak as and when the Holy Spirit sees fit. And stick with it. Just my thoughts - I could be wrong.

Had the opportunity to duck away for a one night retreat at a Catholic abbey. So good to enjoy prayer and fellowship with the monks, and a time of personal prayer, especially in preparation for Lent.

Gospel from Mass today: Lord, help my unbelief!
Such a simple prayer I love every time I hear it.
Lord, help me to not believe the lies about myself. Your truth about me is enough.

Joseph’s brothers were, in a mysterious way, instruments of God’s plans. (God works in mysterious ways, doesn’t he? And what does that say about us, and his plans for us, then?) Raised from a pit, Joseph is brought into a new life to preserve life. Doesn’t this sound like our saviour too?

The grace of God is perplexing, causing us to pause and hold our tongue—instead of scratching our heads and blurting out, “Why bother with him?” “You’re doing it all wrong God!”
We would never say these things out loud, but we probably think them from time to time.

Excited to be preaching and celebrating the Eucharist today, as we say goodbye to 2024 and look forward to 2025. In my sermon I will have us think about the past year—to give thanks and acknowledge our pain/grief/failures, and pray about our anxieties for 2025.

Too good not to share (and so I can back to it later 😁)
Morning Eucharist to start the day. Six geese a-laying reminds us of the act of creation. In the Eucharist all of creation praises the creator. ⚓️

Happy sixth day of Christmas! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

My wonderful baby learned how to take out the tab from my collar, and I wonder how it will take for me to realize I’m not wearing it anymore and she’s dropped it somewhere 😅

Reflecting on the birth of John the Baptizer, watching my baby wreak havoc in the living room, wondering if John had the same amount of energy, caused the same level of chaos for his aging parents, and crawled over to them for love.
