Tell me you’ve never led a charitable feeding program without telling me

Weeeeelllll this guy definitely claims that racism ended mainline institutional power circa 1965, which was interesting but also, speaking from a parish that’s grown 25% and from 10% BIPOC to 35% in the last 8 years I want to say nondiscrimination helps more than it hurts.

I’d forgotten how hard the latter verses of Come Ye Thankful People Come go ⚓️
Lyrics to vv. 2-4 which read fruit as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home. United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

James 5:1-9 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

Discworld quote of the day from Guards! Guards!
course, but deeper, oh, so much deeper in others. But people like you put together little rafts of rules and vaguely good intentions and say, this is the opposite, this will triumph in the end. Amazing!' He slapped Vimes good-naturedly on the back. 'Down there,' he said, 'are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any iniquity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathesomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no. I'm sorry if this offends you,' he added, patting the captain's shoulder, 'but you fellows really need us.' 'Yes, sir?' said Vimes quietly. 'Oh, yes. We're the only ones who know how to make things work. You see, the only thing the good people are good at is overthrowing the bad people. And you're good at that, I'll grant you. But the trouble is that it's the only thing you're good at. One day it's the ringing of the bells and the casting down of the evil tyrant, and the next it's everyone sitting around complaining that ever since the tyrant was overthrown no-one's been taking out the trash. Because the bad people know how to plan. It's part of the specification, you might say. Every evil tyrant has a plan to rule the world. The good people don't seem to have the knack.'

Holy One of love, you called your servant Simeon Bachos to study your word and led him to the waters of baptism, making him your evangelist to Ethiopia: give us the grace to follow where you lead, overcoming the barriers that divide and diminish your people, that we may behold you in all your glory; through our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

At church ⚓️
A sticker wall on the end of my desk at church. The background is white, and there’s a myriad of stickers saying things like “la iglesia episcopal le da la bienvenida,” “peace” with a rainbow background, “dangerous women read,” “Hail Mary full of grace, punch the devil in the face,” “burn sage, sweet grass, and the Indian act,” and one of the stickers says “just preach the ding dang gospel”

One thing we've been working on at Good Shepherd is paring down our list of hymns so we can practice singing strong on ones we know well. Here's our top 30 most often sung hymns this year. Are these your faves? What would you put in your top 30? ⚓
A list of hymns that reads: Almighty God (this is a musical setting of the Collect for Purity and often sung in that spot) Love Divine, All Loves Excelling 10,000 Reasons My Lighthouse Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Be Thou My Vision The Love of Jesus Calls Us Behold the Lamb Thy Word Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence In Christ Alone Hymn of Promise See What a Morning Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying Christ is Made the Sure Foundation There's a Wideness in God's Mercy How Deep the Father's Love for Us When I Survey the Wondrous Cross The Same Love One Bread, One Body O God Beyond All Praising Alleluia! Raise the Gospel Halle, Halle, Halle Jesus Christ is Risen Today Make Me a Channel of Your Peace Hallelujah! We Sing Your Praises Sing of God Made Manifest Blessed Assurance Thou, Who at Thy First Eucharist Didst Pray
