Not only do young ppl not often see 20-30yo clergy, we actively defunded and discontinued campus ministry. A double edged sword

He, of course, did all the real work. But I like to exaggerate my contribution because I think it’s a genuinely important piece

Was just one spot away from a final level interview recently that I didn’t advance to for “lack of experience,” which “experience” I just can’t seem to get when passed over time and again…

I fear I’ve done so little. But it is a genuine priority for me. At 42 I’m concerned that I should *already be* raising up next gen ordinands. But I can’t even get a job lol

Our practices have a contingent history and an ideology that can be traced and critiqued. I will not countenance the idea that “it’s a flawed process but the best we can’t do” nonsense!

“Yes but what’s the leftist critique here?” is what I so often tried to bring out of pitches

I have thought about starting an Hour substack that is essentially just me, because the hardest part of the hour was getting ppl to understand what we were about. Vaguely exvie “progressive” op-eds are a dime a dozen and *not* what we were about. Which usually just confused people

A potentially good model was torpedoed in favor of a systematic generational power grab that’s been sustained for decades. We don’t talk about it!

I’m embarrassed that the zine has been in limbo, but I’m actually really proud of the stuff we put out. That I put out www.thehourmag.com/_files/ugd/1...

One of the reasons I solicited & edited this piece is because I want ppl to distribute it to COMs, bishops, and other groups. Our process doesn’t have to be spiritually harmful www.thehourmag.com/volume-ii-is...

I’m so deeply upset to hear this. Another friend of mine on here has been struggling profoundly in her process. I am so sorry you’re going through this. It should *not*, it need not be like this

As a NE’er at work, I am grateful for my neighbors standing up for my other neighbors

That’s my understanding as well. Mercer likes a slow roll out. Which, again, I mean only in a descriptive way. I’m not putting the two against each other

Which, to be clear, is not meant to throw any shade on MM at all! Only to note their differences vis-a-vis the reactions of the cast

Not having seen/listened to previous seasons of Critical Role, I’ve only had limited experience with Matt Mercer. It’s fascinating to me to see how surprising Brennan L.M.’s style is for the players. He seems to shock them with his choices

The Pope deftly connects care for the migrant with care for the poor. Pretty much everything about this Exhortation is bog standard Catholic Social Teaching, which says something about how disinterested the ruling class is with the Christian life www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Another fantastic glove for this weather is unlined buck or goatskin. The Defeet above can even pair with them to make a warm duo. The key is a windbreaking layer. I don't personally start with insulated gloves/mittens until the 30s F (0-4 C) but your milage may vary

Classic scarves work fine, but a nice neck gaiter or buff is pretty handy. Some of them can be lifted over your ears and face when it gets truly cold www.rivbike.com/products/pos...
