Best novel I've read in 2025 is @CharMcConaghy Wild Dark Shore—a book about how we need to relate deeply to one another to counter our collective fear about future. In other words, it's about nature of that challenging, difficult word: hope

@MinnesotaBishop so much great theology about vocation & identity in whole Toy Story sequence of movies: I once taught a thing on recurring line "You are a toy!" & how it is used in all 4 movies. Akin to father of prodigal telling both sons "You are my son!" & our unwillingness to hear that

@karalianne hear hear: I noticed the same thing

excellent reportage: "The Prince of Wales, no doubt with the blend of anxiety and love familiar to any parent of a child asked to sit patiently in a formal setting, looked across at his children." https://t.co/1LNvikfcsh

.@JustinWelby on his last visit with the Queen: "I came away thinking there is someone who has no fear of death, has hope in the future, knows the rock on which she stands and that gives her strength.”

Astonishing how a whole generation (more than one, really) of liturgical revision has taken place in the Anglican Communion with one constant point of reference—and know all these books need to be reprinted!

You know you are an Anglican when… #WAT

And of course the lectionary gives us Mary, Martha, and the resurrection of Lazarus this evening prayer

"Jerusalem the Golden" running through my mind:

There is the throne of David, and there, from care released,
the shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast;
and they who with their leader have conquered in the fight,
forever and forever are clad in robes of white

Mary Peltola's victory in #Alaska is great news on so many levels—and it's an affirmation of ranked choice voting

When candidates aren't incentivized to appeal to the extremes, a "beautiful soul" (Sarah Palin's phrase, not mine) rises to the top.

@MoodyRev when you figure this one out, please let us all know

for all the worship planners out there, a hymn for Labour Day, text by @FatherGiuseppe, tune Kingsfold https://t.co/7VdiI4yA4Q

For is this not the worker’s Son
who brings us to our best—
yet turns the tables on their heads
and makes the meagre bless’d?

student debt forgiveness has left me kind of surprised by the amount of substitutionary atonement language I'm seeing online from Christians who otherwise don't tend to subscribe to that view

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

Simply spectacular

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Put a ring on it! 💍

Compare views of the Southern Ring nebula and its pair of stars by Webb’s NIRCam (L) & MIRI (R) instruments. The dimmer, dying star is expelling gas and dust that Webb sees through in unprecedented detail: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

I recently came across a photo of myself from November 2019, not even three years ago—I don't usually pay attention to this but I was struck that I look about 10 years younger then than I do now. Has anyone else encountered this?

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

I decided to take a whack at explaining why I find this moment in the life of the church (and especially the life of @generalsynod) to be hopeful, creative & challenging & not a time for despair. But for sure, this is not an easy time

poor Prince Louis: I don't like loud noises either

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

on Word for Mac, is there a keyboard shortcut for inputting a new comment?

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

@united Hi again @united: you told me to DM you and I did and then you totally ghosted me—what gives? my concern still has not been addressed

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

@united 3 hours on phone with customer service reps today & 2 hours in April & problem still isn't solved—ticket isn't confirmed & I'm told flight is cancelled, even though I can buy a ticket for same flight online

worse, there seems to be no other recourse but tweeting at you

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

(the meeting itself is great too)

[Jesse Zink @jazink]

I have just learned that Zoom has a live subtitle feature and it is providing me an immense amount of entertainment in my current meeting.
