ReverendRefToday’s sermon was on the parable of the rich man who built bigger barns for his unexpected windfall — <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Luke12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Luke12</a>:13-21 I said multiple times that we are mandated to help those in need (Deut. 10:19, 14:29, 24:17, 24:19-21), that Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed for not helping those in need, and to give generously to those in need (2 Cor. 9:6-7). I also pointed out that not doing so was both anti-scriptural and anti-Christ. I noticed on of my republican parishioners furiously scribbling notes on his bulletin. Wondering how long before he wants to talk to me about his “concerns.” <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Episcopal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Episcopal</a> <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Sermon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sermon</a> <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/SLECBuffalo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SLECBuffalo</a> <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/PriestLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PriestLife</a>

To our surprise, the Bishop of Utah herself invited us in. She said there was no bookstore but that they had a very outdated library and we could take what we wished from it! This stack is my haul, for which I made a donation. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing the books that now have a treasured place in our home library.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/episcopal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#episcopal</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/anglican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anglican</a>

Have mercy on us when we forget that our liberty is bound to the well-being of others. Unmask the systems and habits that favor privilege over dignity, and awaken in us compassion for the poor, the foreigner, and the outcast. By your Holy Spirit, guide our courts and leaders, our communities and ourselves, that your love and justice may flow down like waters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who came to proclaim good news to the poor and release to the captives, and who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Greg JohnsonEliphalet Nott was Presbyterian minister and RPI (Union College) President. He says many wish they could serve Jesus like Martha (Luke 10:38-42). Yes, Jesus has ascended above beyond our physical reach. But Matthew 25 says that kindness to the pious poor is the same done to Christ.Today, many seek extrabiblical ways to express zeal for service to “Christ himself”.How can you open your doors to the Son of David?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#christian</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pca</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wokeism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wokeism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/episcopal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#episcopal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/endmalaria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#endmalaria</a>

EpiscoGrrlI’m revisiting the writings of Bishop Spong, whose works I first encountered while he was still an active Bishop of the <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Episcopal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Episcopal</a> Church. Somehow, I never thought I’d say that 🤔. Nonetheless, here I am, reading The Sins of Scripture in hopes, I suppose, that it will help me overcome my aversion to <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Paul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Paul</a> and perhaps understand better how someone could write such beautiful verses as well as such awful ones. I recognize that many of my issues with Paul stem from mistranslation and misuse yet his epistles still leave a bad taste in my mouth. Here’s hoping some additional reading while <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/EfM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EfM</a> is on summer break will help me find my way into the Scripture authored by (or attributed to) Paul. <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/BishopSpong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BishopSpong</a> <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/SinsofScripture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SinsofScripture</a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780060778408" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780060778408</a>
