@sinden You playing tonight’s ordination?

[Jared Moore @jaredmoore]

I’ve done many funerals as a pastor but today I did my first one as an Episcopal priest. Everything I tried to communicate and grope for in prior funerals is so beautifully embedded in the Episcopal liturgy. It made me LONG to be a Christian. (I mean I am, but you know…)

That snapping sound was every Episcopalian's head as they read this. I'd pay money to ride that rollercoaster again.

I understand that the SBC is debating the place and process for affirming the Nicene Creed in its doctrinal affirmations. But ... if you cannot affirm the Creed or if you reject it, then you're outside historical Christianity, and you belong in the same category as Unitarians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Episcopalians.

No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other,
"Know the LORD', for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:34)

@EllieGSing Tell Rabbi Dan helloooo

@LSamuelThomas To quote Mark Twain on whether he believes in infant baptism, "Believe in it? Hell, I've seen it!"

I was very excited about the new Franklin series. We stopped it half-way through the second episode. The decision to cast Douglas and the decision to do subtitles sunk the ship. Everything else was there to make this a sublime show. Boo.

Rehearsed with my team last week and an older singer wanted to do "Shine Jesus Shine" and a younger one asked, "Oh, who sings that?" And for a sec, I remembered a time when P&W wasn't wrapped up in ego and personality. "When the music fades...and all is stripped away.."

Practicing Christianity is tough right now. 🧵/1

I mean that personally, I’m not trying to speak for anyone else.

I grew up playing music in church, listened to every new worship album, learned every song.

Worship music was a foundational part of my Christian formation.

@geekyundersod Wild. We need to write our books.

“…and now I’m Episcopalian”

A friend once observed to me:

“Would love to read a memoir that goes something like this: ‘I grew up evangelical, was made to listen to Adventures in Odyssey, forced to go to Wheaton, was taught abstinence, saw my parents put up a Bush/Cheney sign . . . And I’m fine.’”

Where is the School House Rock video explaining how canons are amended in the Episcopal Church?

[Jared Moore @jaredmoore]

"Organic" positive change in a congregation is done in the most un-organic of ways. It is planned for, prayed over, trained for, and implemented systematically.

@ScrivenerApp any update on compatibility with @zotero??

Lord, deliver us from political theater.

The Rev. Dr. Katherine Sonderegger just gave me an A on a paper. I'm pretty sure this exempts me from the GOEs. I'm also feeling an effervescent sensation that can only be described as an ontological change.

[Jared Moore @jaredmoore]

@theodoresomes Praise God! That’s the gritty and necessary work of building a church. Well done, brotha!

[Jared Moore @jaredmoore]

Merry Christmas!

@ATXScott It’s the best feeling

God is still growing trees like the end is not near.
