Thank you to all who have supported Curious Curate since it launched in January. I'm glad to see the interviews are both educational and edifying, since that is the goal of the channel.

As I continue to press forward, who would you like to see interviewed?

Every age is not as good as every other, but all ages are Christian ages, and there is one which for us, and in practice surpasses them all: our own.

[David Szomor @Davidszomorr]

How does Fr. Brandon Letourneau discern a priest? He gives them St. Gregory's Pastoral Rule and asks, "Can you live this way?"

We must give ourselves from the heart, if truth is to give itself to us. Truth serves only its slaves.

"I will be the church to you."

Fr. Brandon Letourneau (@barukalas) on what a priest actually wants — not growth or buildings, but to step into people's lives and care for their souls. Because everyone, whether they know it or not, wants to be fathered in God.

"You don't have to have a young-adults thing, a college thing, a boomer thing. You can just have the prayer book."
Fr. Brandon Letourneau (@barukalas) on why the prayer book already holds a place for every age — rites from birth to death. It doesn't just make room for everyone; it requires everyone.

@d_n_keane Wonderful news!

[David Szomor @Davidszomorr]

Everyone thinks the "via media" means Anglican compromise — a little of this, a little of that. Fr. Brandon Letourneau (@barukalas) says that's a recent veneer, and it's wrong.

In preaching: the world is the sea; men, fishes; church, boat; preacher, fisher; word, net.

"Being a priest is mostly digging holes." 🪏

Fr. Brandon Letourneau's (@barukalas) hope for the ACNA: no gimmicks, no reinvention — just faithful, unglamorous work. Dig holes, not in herself, but for the world.

Resort to sermons, but to prayers most;
Praying’s the end of preaching.
