We love a baptismal call ✨
Creating a separate opening and shape of the baptismal liturgy in BCP1979 and derivatives was a mistake, as it precludes spontaneous use of the baptismal liturgy in the course of the communion liturgy. Offers to baptize should go out at time of explaining how to come to the rail.

One thing about VTS is we get "read, mark, and inwardly digest" emails from our Defensive Coordinator / Acting Dean of Chapel re: football plays 🏋️♀️🏈

One fun quirk about small residential grad school is going to tell your professor you're out with a cold only to discover an email saying they're out too

Part of the problem with the "kids don't read books" discourse is that the concerned professors are self-selected to be nerds who genuinely enjoy reading academic material and have to use imagination to understand reading as a burden

Sometimes in seminary we get so enthusiastic about forming priests, we forget we need forming as plain old Christians too. Grateful for campus Quiet Day and a reflection from Bp. Stevenson on being whole.

Amazing how many church tasks a sports injury can stop you from doing! Today I am simply a body in an alb glorifying God by sitting (and grateful for everyone who jumped in last minute)

Had a fascinating convo in class about how the old* way of finding church (visiting on Sunday) privileged the building/liturgical experience, but the new way of finding church (website, Instagram) privileges missional activities and weekday happenings
*Current for many

I've had a few very bad days in the past week, including today. Usually I'd shoo away my shedding cat from sitting on my black pants, but now is the exact right time for snugs

I don't think we need to justify "we can't afford the church building" with "buildings are bad actually"
Like, it's ok to just be sad about loss
I got two chronically herniated discs in high school and just threw out my back the night before my first Sunday at my internship site
Please pray for scientists to invent good exoskeletons before I'm geriatric

Had a dream last night that an angel messenger came to me and said
"wear SPF 60, the mineral kind not the chemical kind"
