My Pentecost sermon ... now edited to correct several typos and to conform more to the homily as preached. (I won't guarantee that all the typos are gone, but there are fewer now.)

This is an inexcusable exercise in victim blaming. Nothing about this meeting was Zelensky's fault; it was not he who "pivoted." This was an American debacle, not a Ukrainian one, the fault of Lord Dampnut & his lapdog veep, no one else's.

Zelensky, Seeking a Diplomatic Victory With Trump, Leaves With a Debacle (Gift Article)
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine had hoped to secure U.S. support in any cease-fire talks with Russia. Instead, his curdled relationship with President Trump was revealed in the Oval Office.

This would be the best possible outcome.
Donald Trump and JD Vance may have just done what Joe Biden couldn’t - get Ukraine into NATO.

Apologies to President Zelenskyy and, indeed, to the rest of the world. I didn't vote for Lord Dampnut but, as an American, I'm very, very sorry ... embarrassed and apologetic on behalf of my nation.
That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me.
Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

The way in which Lord Dampnut and JD treated Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office is HORRIFICALLY SHAMEFUL ... horribly embarrassing. America should hang its head in shame!

How did a highball which is basically whiskey mixed with diluted ginger ale, garnished with some citrus, come to be called a "Presbyterian"? Do any of my Presbyterian colleagues know about this?

Presbyterian Recipe
As with all short ingredient lists, quality matters Make sure to look for a drier ginger ale with a bite to it and reach for a whiskey you like to drink Bourbon will result in a sweeter-leaning drink,...

As with all social media.... I find myself hours later wishing there were a way (or, if there is, that I knew about the way) to edit a post. As we all know, the best way to find errors in something is to publish it.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates.
It’s a lie.
The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe.
His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Over the past several years, I have written and delivered quite a few sermons, and authored a number of blog posts, which directly or indirectly address political themes from a Christian (Anglican) point of view, as I understand it.
