I've been wanting to bail on X (Twitter) for some time now. But I've been waiting until I felt sure it was time to leave. That time has come. I've joined the millions of users moving across to Bluesky. If you're on Bluesky, let's connect there. Find me at https://t.co/x1NAgSAXgn.

What stories are you re-membering from your liturgies? How are they impacting the way you live in your daily routines?

Two things I really love doing are editing videos and producing music. And so I've decided to make myself available to do more. For church worship videos and recorded music, or YouTube, TikTok or other social media videos, give me a shout. 🤓

@markpenrith Sorry is that meant to say “truth is also your word…”

[John van de Laar @Sacredise]

I'll just leave this here, shall I?

@markpenrith Truth is also word. It doesn’t appear in the quote at all. So it seems that you are equating doctrine and dogma with truth. I find that problematic, especially in relation to Christ.

[John van de Laar @Sacredise]

@markpenrith A lot of that depends on how you define truth. If you define it propositionally, then it can definitely exist without love. And love can easily exist without propositional ‘truth’.

I wrote this prayer years ago, but it feels like it fits our current reality. It's not an easy prayer to pray but would you maybe be willing not just to speak it, but to live it in your corner of the world?

With Advent just a few weeks away, what are you most looking forward to? What are you hoping for? What are you longing for?
I'm looking forward to my Advent wreath and all the music that I haven't listened to for a year. I'm going to need these rituals this year.
Ok, your turn...
