coffee, bacon, Jesus, my hubby & kids, books, the PCUSA, @theSlateProject: these are a few of my favorite things (in no particular order)

Lord,
Relax my hurried body.
Calm my busy mind.
Embrace me.
Amen.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Jenn, she/her, Baltimore City, and I’ve got nothing coming to my brain for last part of the question #SlateSpeak

From our #WeirdChristianity archives –– and we mean 'weird' in the best way.

Modern evangelical Christians obsessed with purity culture, eat your heart out.

Medieval priests held devastating power in their hands, and weren't afraid to use it.

Pretending racism is over – a favorite pastime of the United States – does not make it so.

As much as we'd like to imagine progress being made since the Civil Rights Movement (or since the Civil War, for that matter), we ignore reactionary elements at our peril. #tbt

Beloveds, #SlateSpeak is considering moving (or at the very least adapting) as Twitter becomes less and less of a stable place to host.

Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

[Slate Project @TheSlateProject]

#DevastatingDevotion brings you: #WeirdChristianity. (And we mean 'weird' as a compliment!)

Every so often we'll switch from the devastating to the otherwise fascinating -- like how medieval Christian anchorites would start their ministry as though they were actively dying.

@TheSlateProject Ointment poured with love,
Disciples struggling to see,
Grace flows endlessly.
#struggling #ForAllYouCare

@TheSlateProject Costly ointment poured,
Waste to some, love to others,
Heartfelt act of grace.

Throwback to the refreshingly honest writer, Charles Bukowski (1920-1994).

A reminder as we approach Holy Week: Jesus movie watch party!

Three nights at 8pm ET during this high holy week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Zoom ID: 891 166 6609.

No video, just audio, to help Pastor Jason best stream the film.

The first Sunday in #Lent — Jesus is tempted by a vision of absolute power and domination, and he turns it down.

Watch: You Can Be A Minimalist. Yes, You! https://t.co/SEHibTAF8A
