Hi new folks: I’m a Curate in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. Proudly serving in the Army Reserve. I generally just tweet about my life & random thoughts. Big on Pittsburgh, heritage, ecumenism, & loving your neighbor.

This diocesan chapel has no congregation. We knocked on 100 doors or so, bought ads, put up posters and a sign by the road all advertising a single service. 81 people showed up to celebrate the birth of our Lord at a midnight mass.

Very weird experience trying to repair this crucifix. Nailing Jesus to this cross was a weird experience until I stepped back and realized I’ve done it countless times before. Lord, have mercy on me a sinner.

1/ Really processing my afternoon. I went to the Gettysburg National Cemetary to visit graves and honor those who fought in one of America’s bloodiest battles. On my way out, I was completely surrounded by 50 or so armed white supremacists.

I think this was probably the single most regrettable element of the Reformation. If monasteries persisted, I think the spirituality of American Protestantism would look much different today.

3/ I was screamed at, liquids were poured on me, and my life was threatened - all because I wore a shirt with the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER.”
This video cuts out, but I left on my own accord escorted by DHS and NPS after they said my life was in jeopardy.

The biggest crisis in the Western church is actually that our catechesis is probably the weakest in Christian history and it isn’t an easily remedied problem because the people who are catechizing others are not catechized themselves

The Episcopal Church is the one true expression of the Catholic faith and all must recognize the universal power of Michael Curry. The 1979 BCP is infallible and use of the 1982 Hymnal is the only musical canon authorized. I don’t make the rules.

Unironically some of the best evangelists for the RCC right now. TEC should take notice at how they’ve flawlessly adapted their spirituality to music that resonates with a mostly Protestant cultural backdrop.

I think the most lived critique of the liturgical movement is that they changed liturgical practice with a post-Christian populace in mind and the Christians living in a post-Christian world have largely craved the things they changed from.

I went to an Episcopal parish at a popular vacation spot. Without being too specific as to not disparage the parish, part of the strength of being an Episcopal Church is our rootedness and belonging in the breadth of the Anglican religion. (1/4)

I became an Episcopalian over 2 years ago, but the Methodist church that raised me still sends me love. They are proud of me. They affirm my choice. I hope to God one day everyone has a church that loves like they do. I got this on Aldersgate Day 2023, and I will cherish it.

I can’t stand the “wear a mask to save the economy” argument. Just no. Wear a mask in public because it saves human lives. That should be enough. If you need money to incentivize you to be a good person you’re actually a bad person.
