Revision Matters

[Rev. Miranda 🐀 @revmirandah]

Okay. These are speedy impressions. But I'm ... cautiously open to the Doyle amendment (0084) to #A068. My biggest concern is that the funding is really minimal. $200k for a triennium is almost nothing, so this feels like an unfunded mandate to the church.

It is hard. And important. And also hard.

I’ve been thinking about BPC revision and how we’re talking about it. I think pro- and anti-revision is too simple and misses some significant dynamics. #GC79

"Language shapes reality... Expansive God-language enables Christians to claim freedom and dignity as human beings created in the image... of God." The Special Committee on Sexual Harassment and Exploitation for #GC79 calls for liturgical revision: https://t.co/Wy3c3Y61QT

@JimNaught @FondduLacBish8 @KPacyniak Some of us in fact believe that prayer book revision is related-bordering-on-essential to those priorities.

Why would we *not* think praying would shape believing with regard to these issues? #gc79

A priest responds to a typical Collect of the Day:

"I understand all these words. I think I even understand where the author is going…But it could be electric, connective, emotional. It could reflect the cries of the folks in the pews ."

"People often come to the Episcopal Church already bruised by the teachings of other churches, wondering if we’re a safe harbor, dangerously close to bailing out on the whole Christianity project entirely."

"The Decalogue, enacted in liturgy, feels to me like reciting Scripture. The Ash Wednesday Litany of Penitence feels like confession. And I wish we could use it more."

.@frsimmons on moving from "a lurching, zero-sum struggle" to "a more organic, continual conversation."

Anna, a priest in the Twin Cities, raises some great questions about liturgy, based on her experiences leading worship in a multicultural parish.

"Perhaps God is named as a father not as a divine endorsement of human gender roles, but as an adaptation to them"

Another post: What do we do with received texts that no longer sit well with us? What are the limits of faithfulness to tradition?
