Pulpit Panic

Help! I'm preaching on Sunday, are you? Let's help each other with insights, perspectives and hot takes on this week's Gospel reading (RCL). Run by @vahva.

Have you ever seen @p2son's performance of the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch? (this Sunday's reading Acts 8.26–40) watch it here, very powerful insights, 30 mins in: https://t.co/JFpYTkVaU0

How's this in time for Good Shepherd Sunday? 🤣🐑

[Fr Angela Rayner SMMS @OSacrumCorIesu]

One of my favourite things about Eastertide is that we get to taunt death. Every morning. This makes mornings a little more bearable.

[Melanie Harrington-Haynes @revdrmelanieh]

@vahva @HeartEdge_ @PulpitPanic I thought so too! It made me think about the importance of speaking about our faith. We all need to sing our song.

[Bryony Taylor @vahva]

There are definitely several sermons in this moving and sad story.

I was away last week but am back! Here's a helpful discussion on this week's lectionary readings for Advent 2 from @HeartEdge_ https://t.co/ecbNMPJGgN

[Dr Ian Paul @Psephizo]

The 'parable of the sheep and the goats' in Matt 25 isn't a parable, it isn't about the sheep and the goats, and it is not an encouragement to us to care for the poor. So what is it about, and what does it teach us? FYI @AJWTheology

I've always struggled with Christ the King as a festival. Hence taking this Sunday off!

[Mthr. Arwen Mary Folkes 🕊 @MotherArwen]

Grappling with Christ the King. Can’t help thinking that though we’ve deduced that he is and crowned him King, in his humility he probably would have returned the crown and refused the throne. @PulpitPanic

[Dr Ian Paul @Psephizo]

How does God command his people to offer welcome and hospitality to the stranger—and what implications does that have for the people of God?

A triduum for St Hugh: having died 16 November, he's commemorated 16 November by Roman Catholics, 17 November by Anglican Provinces except one – the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, NZ and Polynesia which celebrates this commemoration on 18 November: https://t.co/HPg1AHDsSc

This is a sheep-goat hybrid. I wish it was called a shoat @PulpitPanic

Discussion on this week's lectionary readings on Facebook with @HeartEdge_ here: https://t.co/wfKIX4EKLo #christtheking #sermon #lectionary

[Pulpit Panic @PulpitPanic]

Really enjoying Rowan Williams' short book 'Meeting God in Paul', some quotations in a thread here:

[Bryony Taylor @vahva]

"The one thing you know for certain about your tiresome, annoying, disobedient, disedifying fellow Christians is that God has welcomed them; that becomes your challenge"

- Rowan Williams on the radical teaching of St Paul, a word for Christian twitter I think!

[Bryony Taylor @vahva]

Listen to my sermon on the Parable of the Talents. God gives us a currency of love, how will you spend it?

[Pulpit Panic @PulpitPanic]

Interesting thread on the book of Esther.
