If your church must do something, do something optional and not in the service. A photo booth in the foyer, a make your own card station outside of Sunday School rooms, special breakfast before service.

@RiverNeedham The Hobbit! I love the Audiobook for the Hobbit. I also like sci fi books by Ben Bova on audio.

A couple came up saying they tried to go to different churches, but all were closed. They expressed both relief and joy that they could participate in Ash Wednesday safely outdoors. Those are the doors of the Church being flung wide open. #AshWednesday

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

Ashes to Go may offend the sensibilities of the old models for Church, but being present and encountering people where they are in the midst of where their lives are being lived is perhaps the best reflection of the spirit of Lent, to examine the life being lived where it is.

Paper Proposal for Religion, Health, and Culture: Queering Theology as Holistic Healthcare for LGBTQ Patients. Chaplaincy taught me that my folx are not safe in clinical settings. How do we change that? What is the impact of apathy on this? #LGBTQIA #chaplains #Spirituality

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

Also white Anglicans, please refrain from using the language of white privilege or colonial imperialism to decry the churches of the Global South. Please refrain from appeals to Global North wealth or 'progress.' It was colonial European power that brought anti-LGBT laws.

I serve as vicar in an area where most churches are not only unaffirming but hostile. I have been called out by local clergy for supporting #LGBTQ dignity of being. Our Episcopal churches are the only two publicly affirming congregations. @WNCathedral needs to hear this.

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

Needing self-care and I know I am not alone among the clergy in @episcopalchurch . The reactionary politics of MaxLucado and his loud, & violent, homophobia have crashed into the intersection of my being as a gender non-conforming, gay, mestizo Mex-American, and partnered person.

Our undocumented brothers and sisters must be included in the next COVID relief package. It is immoral to exclude anyone from receiving aid simply because of their status.

Open your mind, transform. Change your life by walking with another's experience and hearing their story.
I love the work we do in Naco, Sonora and Naco, Arizona. Una comunidad dividida por una frontera artificial

January 6, 2021. Washington, DC. A Donald Trump Rally. I wanted to post this for the historical record.

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

There is a reason that Trump's party, it's not even the GOP anymore, lost the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. #SenateFlipped

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

President Trump is going to have a TAPED message? Why not go in person like he did when he STARTED this 'protest?' #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

@mattnightingale @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz They've sold their souls. If ever there was a Faustian deal in real life, they've made it and it was even worse!

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

I was a participant, one of thousands, in a #BLM protest in Phoenix, large city, and we were PEACEFUL. NO violence. Trump supporters are VIOLENT AND TERRORISTS. #TrumpIsACriminal

[First Church UCC PHX @FirstChurchUCC]

We pray for peace & love to take hold in our nation's Capitol. May compassion for each other's humanity be seen on both sides of the barriers. “Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.” Dalai Lama

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

What happened to #BacktheBlue ? The Orwellian-fashion 'law and order' mob is committing acts of terrorism on our own nation and President Trump led them. He said he is LEADING this rally. He OWNS this. #ImpeachAgain #25thAmendment

[John Caleb Collins (Quidera) @CalebSeminarian]

A #CoupAttempt is underway! My Tata did not serve our country for his whole life in three wars so that white supremacists could tear down our nation!

Trump said Roe v Wade is not on the ballot and that he has not talked about it. Really? #RoeVWade #SCOTUS #DumpTrump #BidenHarris2020 #prochoice
