I've found myself made into 1 single gif. Dead. @SeanSiak @Sorey_Not_Sorry @KitKattHaselden @aklumpp

My church here in Idaho removed a stained glass window featuring Robert E. Lee and replaced it with the first ever Black female bishop, Leontine T. Kelly.

The amount of hate mail is a reminder of how upset many become when you try to repent from white supremacy.

Repent anyway.

In the last year I have gotten more direct communication from the U.S. government about restarting my student loan payments than anything else

Every day I think about how Elizabeth Warren should be the President right now. Every single day.

The ability to choose pinned messages on my phone feels like choosing my top 8 on MySpace.

I was feeling kind of blah about the holidays this year, but then I made myself an ornament of all the books I read in 2021. Nothing like a bookish craft to get you in the spirit!

Little known fact. If you live in GA you can go to the library and check out a video about the Atlanta Zoo. It’s 22 min long. Once you watch it you get four free adult passes to the zoo. Tickets usually cost $30 per adult. You can do this once a year every year.

@emilykmay @rachelheldevans Same. 2011-2012 first year in seminary. Felt like that could have been a safe space, but it wasn’t.

May light glimmer through the darkness as we wait.

Are you paying attention?

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Hey pastor,

Standing up for marginalized and oppressed folks will cost you, but it’s worth it.

You may lose some members or some money, but you get to keep all of your integrity.

@SeanSiak HECK YEAH

Cheers to the 2010 South Carolina Gamecocks, still the last SEC East team to beat Alabama.

@bluesawadeshoes Omg literally me from calling my grandparents my whole life on their answering machine…
“Hey, it’s Elizabeth… the time is… call me back at…”

[Elizabeth Murray ☮️ @murrayea]

Thanks for sharing with The American Church in Paris this evening, @dianabutlerbass. It was such a joy, and it gave me so much life!

[Elizabeth Murray ☮️ @murrayea]

@danielrgriswold Understood. How do you see the call of elder vs. the call of deacon out of curiosity?

[Queen Snorlax 👑 💤 @AnnaIPrimrose1]

This is a holiday PSA from your friendly neighborhood single- "You're always welcome at our house" a week before the Big Day is a very different feeling than "Will you please join us? We would love to have you." Bonus points if it's at least a month in advance.

[Elizabeth Murray ☮️ @murrayea]

@danielrgriswold Regarding what?

[Elizabeth Murray ☮️ @murrayea]

@danielrgriswold Sure. I don’t think anyone said you can’t be passionate about young people if you’re an elder. I very much think elders should and do care about that!
But there continues to be a very needed role for deacons, as the bridge between the church and the world…at least in the UMC.
