If I were younger and stronger I would advocate for a mass meeting (some of it via Zoom etc) of mainline preachers to form some sort of unified resistance. There is a way to preach politics without being partisan. My first book was called The Bible and the New York Times.

@benjamindcrosby @DuncanHollands Maybe the worst part (besides implicitly praying to Satan) is you could pray a prayer to the same effect using the wisdom literature quite easily and be heresy-free!
Ecclesiastes 7:13-14; 9:11 come to mind.

@benjamindcrosby @queeraye @jrbrownfield Hold on, imagining Peter telling Jesus this in John 21.

It’s lucky we have a famously competent state, a well-funded health service, & courts with plenty of time on their hands, or I’d be worrying that this is a terrible decision

Ahahaha, moderator for this Ontario Place conference tells reporters, when asked about trees getting removed, "That is the only questions we'll be taking about the trees."
"I think we'll ask whatever question we like," @jeffreybgray, the next reporter up, says in response.

@benjamindcrosby I missed the David/Bathsheba discourse entirely this year. I was hoping the trend could continue.
I propose a liturgical calendar with twitter discourse cycles also marked out, for those of us who struggle to keep up.

@benjamindcrosby I recently saw this clip from "Yes, Prime Minister" and, while it's quite funny, was also sad that what it points to has been well known for 40+ years and mainline churches still don't much care to believe what they confess.

@sarahjoykillam So you might even say no one takes his life, he lays it down? 🤯

@SpesInCruce In baptism/profession of faith classes I mostly just end up drawing the Scutum Fidei (poorly). 😅

@benjamindcrosby @graceful_hazel That's a real "so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves" vibe.

[Nicolas Renaud @NicolasGWR]

@benjamindcrosby @rywig Like, even if it's not predestined God still chooses... like even if the end of all things is universalism God still chooses... When did God choosing become controversial? 🫠

Those living with disability, or experiencing poverty and homelessness, are deserving of dignity, respect, and a greater hope than MAID.
I'm so grateful for the support of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada @PCConnect in passing my motion calling for this.
