Praying Naked

Jesus loves me, this I know. But there are times he may not like me much.

@vikare06 A lot of people seem to not realize that a lot of ads for big events (i.e., the Super Bowl) are created to only air once. The buzz is the point — and for many such ads, it’s as much about branding for investors as for selling a product.

The sermon Jesse Jackson preached at the 1997 inaugural interfaith prayer service (starts at 00:46) was a turning point in my understanding of how my faith can inform my politics.

Are you kidding me? I had an entire childhood of Sunday School teachers telling me that through the Fourth Sunday in Advent!

I’m 70 years old, and in my entire life I have never ever seen any person tell another person they couldn’t say “Merry Christmas”. Not even once.

@MiracleAtFatima @JamesMartinSJ I’m not Fr Martin but I just ran across your comment, so will offer this example: Maybe they’d already eaten and Martha started doing diaconal work for the nascent community of followers while Mary was listening to the Teacher teaching.

@JunkersFW190 @Protestia She doesn’t “claim Christ.” She’s a Jewish scholar interpreting the New Testament through the lens of Hebrew scripture and Jewish teaching. But you don’t really need to know the first thing you’re talking about to condemn it, do you?

@JamesPettifer1 @BishopWorcester @churchstate I think if you're asking [checks notes] Christ's church to be less "utopian" in its vision, you are proverbially barking up the wrong tree.

@PastanzoGuy @dianabutlerbass @servetus Then they’re *really* gonna be confused if they drop in on a Rite I Eucharist and read *that* version of the creed

[Praying Naked @prayingnaked]

@SouthSideExpat @dianabutlerbass …who probably *should* have “evangelical” in their name.

There’s probably a German word for this particular kind of irony.

I mourn people who simultaneously say they trust a God of love who supposedly spoke the entire Universe into being—yet can't handle a Target t-shirt display, American History book, gay couple in their church, or refugee family in their neighborhood.

This is not from Medieval Europe. This was built in New Jersey — in the 1950s.

So here's a thread of the most spectacular (and unique) churches in America... 🧵

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Over 1,500 years ago, this church was hewn into a vertical cliff face 650 feet above ground - and it's still in use today.

A thread of churches in astonishing places... 🧵

Tonight after praying Compline I was listening to the brothers of @SSJE sing “Creator of the Stars of Night” and one of the Geminids meteors streaked through the sky above my head.

VERY Advent.

Karl Barth and Thomas Merton — towering figures in 20th century Protestant theology and Catholic spirituality, respectively — died on the same day, Dec 10, 1968.
