Queer Episcopalian trying to find someway of making sense of faith in a world that seems more intent on weaponizing it then practicing it.

In some ways, this feels like how most mainline traditions are floundering to have their unique voices heard, so now anti-LGBTQ+ pro-fascism Southern Baptist is the default position of what most Americans think of when they hear “Christian.”

Maybe I am being overly cynical, and the NRSVue will start catching on now that the NRSV is non-publishable since June of this year. It's just that we're swamped with bad translations with overly Calvinist Evangelical bents, and the one non-translation to do that is floundering.

The ESV has completely taken over as the translation of choice in "conservative evangelical" circles, and I for the life of me do not know what the Council of Churches was thinking when they allowed them to license out the RSV to revise it.
