There’s something almost transcendental about the ‘holy huddle’ at priestly ordinations. Just an unbroken chain of screwballs who heard a whispered call in the soul’s night and couldn’t resist answering. 🕯️

Honouring all those lost on 9/11 25 years ago, including Fr. Mychal Judge, FDNY chaplain, the first recorded victim, who gave his life offering hope and prayers amid the tragedy. His courage and compassion remind us to serve others selflessly, even in the darkest moments. #NeverForget

“The way that trans people are being treated in this world, in this culture, in this country, it is one of the many things that keeps me up at night. It’s contrary to the gospel. It’s a scandal to the heart of God.” —Episcopal Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe ⚓️

The last time my grandma stayed at my apartment, she surreptitiously turned the thermostat to 78°F. I think I was subtle in my messaging this time around.

My parish hosted the local Jewish community (mostly from the two colleges) tonight for Shabbat services in our fireside room and a potluck afterward in the parish hall. The campus rabbi grew up in an interfaith home (her dad is an Episcopalian) and so this kind of thing comes naturally to her. 🕯️

Elizabeth is a college friend of mine! I’m extremely proud of her and profoundly disappointed (as ever) to live in a country which would arrest a pregnant minister for standing up for the marginalized. 🕯️
Relatedly, the Vermont state police have posted the mug shots of those arrested while protesting, which include them wearing their collars and stoles. vtstatepolice.blogspot.com/2026/09/vsp-...

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Indianapolis has dispensed the Sunday mass obligation for those afraid of detention or intimidation by ICE. What a profoundly messed up world we live in! 🕯️

The church dining halls are the best—and most underrated—part of the Minnesota State Fair. There’s nothing like ham loaf, roasted spuds, and fluff salad being served by very friendly Methodists.

Today in Priestcraft: a teen from the parish left for college first thing this morning (for my alma mater, go CSB+SJU!), so the youth group threw her a doughnut-and-coffee farewell party in her driveway. Yours truly was up at 0-dark-thirty to fetch the goods from KwikTrip and Caribou. 🕯️

Absolutely cannot stand interpretations of this week's Gospel that say Jesus calling the Canaanite woman a dog is an example of his "human side" bc he's so exhausted/irritated/overwhelmed that he cannot help but be racist to her. If Jesus is indeed without sin, that should include the sin of racism!

I dreamt last night that the Rt Rev’d the Bishop of Washington and I went to see a MUNA house concert. Everybody was sitting in arm chairs and couches (except for Her Lordship, who was obviously sitting in her cathedra.) It was a wild dream! 🕯️
