Ich war letztens bei den Augenärztys zur Kontrolle. Bin im Grunde sehr zufrieden dort, weil sie sehr organisiert, gründlich und vor allem schnell sind.

Das Wartezimmer rotzt, hustet und niest als abwechslungsreicher Chor. Die Dame am Empfang, zu der ja alle gehen müssen und die alle eCards nimmt und alle Verordnungen überreicht, hustet besonders kräftig und melodisch tief, trinkt dazwischen aus einem großen Häferl Tee, und ist gut auf den Tag vorbereitet von Taschentuchpackungen und mehreren Thermoskannen umgeben.

Außer mir hatte noch eine der Fachkräfte in einem Untersuchungszimmer eine Maske auf, sonst natürlich niemand irgendwo. Wenigstens wissen inzwischen alle, dass es möglich ist, bei einer Augenuntersuchung die Maske aufzulassen, und ich musste das nicht mehr diskutieren.

#Celibacy, women's #ordination, #homosexuality: in-depth discussions on the "hot potatoes" have so far failed to materialise at the #Synod23 on Synodality. #Bishop Meier is certain, however, that these topics will be on the agenda next year.

Great talk and discussion with Ven Canda , Venerable Upekkhā & Ajahn Brahmali: "Debate on Women, Gender & Non-self" made available by the Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project - a pioneering project working to establish the first Theravada Bhikkhuni Monastery in the UK where women can train towards full ordination.

Yesterday I attended an #ordination ceremony (an upasampada) here at Sasanarakkha, for 3 new #bhikkhus. Their names are Cagadhammika, Nyanadhammika, and Santidhammika.

I got absolutely soaking wet walking there, as it torrentially poured rain, even though I had an an umbrella. I had to take shelter in a small library building partway up the hill, for about 15 minutes, during the most lightning-intensive part of the storm. ​

Bonus #FollowFriday suggestion - I'm excited to see the #UniversalLifeChurch is officially on Mastodon!

I'm hoping to build a congregation in #Minnesota (online & mobile ministry) in 2023!

• False hopes
• More cover-ups
• Unnecessary battles
• Mass exodus

This wonderful memory popped into my timeline this morning! #Ordination #CofE #ThoughtsFromSwallowBarn

Lange überlegt, wie man "normalen Menschen" Ordination erklären soll. Habe dann beschlossen, es "Wie Konfrimation, nur für Pfarrer" zu bezeichnen und bin ziemlich stolz drauf.
