Seen some people critique Nosferatu as not being as serious/“evil” as The Witch, but, for most people, that’s how evil actually works. It’s subtle & ensnaring before it destroys; its “pleasures” are fleeting.

Hey @andrewrillera.bsky.social I was wondering if you’ve had the chance to dig into Jay Sklar’s doctoral thesis Sin, impurity, sacrifice, atonement: the priestly conceptions?
I know you referenced his 1st Leviticus commentary in LotF,& his 2nd one wasn’t out yet, but what about his thesis?

In general, what qualities make for a good match in a spiritual director?
I’ll be meeting with one throughout my discernment process, and I’m a bit nervous about it.
Thanks!⚓️

America must hear about its sins because we will never understand what is happening in this country today without understanding that we are now reaping the harvest of terrible evil planted by seeds centuries ago.

I wish my Presbyterian seminary had a liturgy boot camp (or any practical training in the sacraments, period).
I suppose that’s one of the disadvantages of finding your way to The Episcopal Church after already starting seminary.
But the Lord has a plan.

Reading Karl Barth’s Advent lectures on Luke 1
This all of us must learn to understand: the Lord *is* coming. At this one thing we must gaze, very quietly, very joyfully.

Conservative-ism (whether cultural, political, or theological) grows by offering simple, black & white answers to complex matters
But complexity necessitates nuance and humility
Thus conservative-ism will always fall short of not only the truth but healthy flourishing as well
