As a Christian, a Canadian, a woman, a Jordan - I loathe Jordan Peterson.

This takedown of his new book by no less than Rowan Williams brings me great delight, all the more so for its politeness and real attempt to read with charity.

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

That we are commanded to love our enemies is not a strategy to guarantee that all enmity can be overcome, it a reminder that for Christians our lives must be determined by our loves, not our hates.

The early virgin martyrs get too much credit for "purity" and not enough for "resisting imperial heteropatriarchy with their lives".

Catherine, Barbara, Margaret, Lucy, Wilgefortis, and all martyrs of Christ, pray for us. 🕯️

A good and needed message from the Bishop of Minnesota ⚓️
The first screenshot of a message from Bishop Craig Loya. It says: Beloved in Christ, Preachers often refer to weeks around the turn of the liturgical year as the “doom and gloom Sundays,” because the scripture readings feature themes of judgment and last things. Episcopalians hate those readings. We find it hard to square the idea of judgment, and often violent predictions of suffering and struggle, with our image of an endlessly loving and merciful God. But it’s important to remember that all of scripture was written by and for the oppressed and the marginalized. It was addressed to those left out of the gaudy abundance of the powerful and privileged. From that perspective, God’s promise to overturn the world order and set the scales of injustice right was good news indeed. The apocalyptic writings in the Bible we so often disdain were actually written to provide comfort and reassurance for God’s people who faced a world that was falling apart in fear and vulnerability. The second screenshot of a message from Bishop Craig Loya. It says: All around the world today, there are billions of people who have been left out of the overwhelming wealth and abundance that many of us enjoy. In our own nation, we are living through days when some of the most vulnerable among us: the immigrant, the desperately poor, persons identifying as LGBTQ+, and many others, are facing a future that feels deeply fearful. In the midst of all of this, often under-loved passages from Mark 13, Daniel 7, Revelation 1, and Luke 21 will remind us that God always stands on the side of those who live in fear and on the margins. They will remind us that arc of God’s project to heal the world with love ends in justice. They will remind us that Jesus, the human face of God’s loving heart, is still Lord when everything else is falling apart. Final screenshot of the letter from the bishop of Minnesota. It says: Only the Spirit’s power can fully bring about God’s perfect reign of peace. Our job is to point the way to that coming reign through our work, our witness, and standing where Jesus stands. In these weeks, dearly beloved, may we stand with Jesus, with all the suffering people, in all the small places, throughout the world and history, and shout with them, until our voices are hoarse, the prayer that resounds through the centuries: “come, Lord Jesus, come.” Grace and Peace,   The Right Reverend Craig Loya 10th Bishop Episcopal Church in Minnesota

If you’re a Christian who preaches and you haven’t yet read The Word Before the Powers by Charles L. Campbell, I recommend you change that ASAP.

#medievalsky friends. Here is a piece just published on the vicissitudes of medieval Archbishops of Canterbury. religionnews.com/2024/11/13/t...
The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned in shame. The job has survived much worse.
(RNS) — Justin Welby’s predecessors have at times met gruesome fates — being stabbed or burned at the stake — but over 16 centuries the position itself has not only survived but retained its significa...

Get your Kleenex out.

A group of Chicago area Rabbis attended the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the six year old Palestinian-American boy who was brutally murdered by his landlord due to his ethnicity and religion.

Rabbi Ari Hart explains why the Rabbis attended the funeral in the screenshot below.
Rabbi Ari Hart, the Imam at the boys’s Mosque, and Rabbi Hodi "The Jerusalem Talmud teaches that the Jewish people are obligated to comfort the mourners of our people and of all people because of darchei shalom - the paths of peace. Today, a group of rabbis of us went to the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six year old Muslim boy who was killed in his home by his depraved landlord because he was Palestinian and Muslim. This picture is with the imam of the mosque where the funeral was held. We met with the Imam, heard from the father, and stood with the boy's community as they mourned this horrific loss. We witnessed the pain. We expressed our shock and condemnation of the attack. We wept. I can't say that it was simple to be there. These are not simple times. But the murder of a six year old because of his faith and his identity is not complicated. It is a heinous crime. And that's why we went today. These days it really feels like the world has l These days it really feels like the world has lost its way. But I can't give up on trying, yearning,
