Jinx on Romans 5.
I was gonna go with: "But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us."

I don't think modern wars can. Hence why the Roman Catholics is functionally pacifist at this point.
Iran fails on pretty much all of these. Augustine expert JD Vance really should tell his boss.
that's what I've been using!
+Budde gets heard because of who she was addressing and an on what occasion. Talarico does it in the context of a campaign. That's the difference.
For me: I think we rightly assert the separation of church and state, and so we have been reluctant to bring faith talk into the public sphere. The Christian right has no qualms with this. But for better or worse, the political sphere is where religious voices get heard.
...on who gets heard in American religious discourse, and the ability of the mainline to penetrate the noise and boldly preach the Gospel.
May many more +Budde's and Talaricos be heard.
This is not to diminish James Talarico but he is saying nothing that millions of mainline Protestants don't already hear every Sunday.
That so many of the reactions from the secular left are "Wow! I've never heard a Christian actually sound like Jesus before" is an indictment...
isn't that doubly damning?
Year A fun.
peep the lowest proficiency area for GOEs. (and true in most years)
very cool of Senate Republicans to amplify the Gospel message.
they're both more current than any reading used in my New Testament classes!
I'm being stretched, Padre.
The laying of the hands is best understood as a symbol and not the mechanism by which apostolicity is conferred.

Oh, and I’m doing three services.
Tomorrow is my first time as deacon at my internship parish and…that’s a long Gospel!
Any Christian claiming power and violence in the name of God needs to read Psalm 50 and tremble:
These things you have done, and I kept still,
and you thought that I am like you.
I’m not the biggest vestments lad but look at this Watts & Co. Holy Week cope. SO METAL. 📕
Did this for the first time.
Though the nations rage from age to age
We remember
Who holds us fast
God's mercy must deliver us from the conqueror's crushing grasp
This saving word that out forebears
Heard is the promise which holds us bound
'Til the spear and rod can be
Crushed by God
Who is turning the world around
Me and @ancientspeak.bsky.social lobbied hard for Canticle of the Turning as the final hymn at our ordination and it was ~prescient~!!!
