The Anglican tradition, as I have received it: "the absolute priority of the Bible, a catholic loyalty to the sacraments, and a habit of cultural sensitivity and intellectual flexibility." ⚓

History was made at Canterbury Cathedral this afternoon when - following her Confirmation of Election at St Paul’s as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury – Sarah Mullally’s name was added to the plaque that lists every previous holder of the office, all the way back to St Augustine in 597.

"I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda'".

I am so grateful for the people of Messiah, St. Paul, who have rallied together in support of the most vulnerable in our midst. I am praying for all who will receive the Holy Sacrament today: Jesus, feed your people with grace, comfort, strength and power. Amen ⚓️

We had close to 250 people at our interfaith vigil which is about 100 more than we can comfortably fit. Folks were packed into pews, standing in the narthex, listening on in the parish hall, and sitting on folded chairs in the aisles. It was beautiful, but I’m still so upset we had need to gather. 🕯️

According to Bishop Andrew Waldo, who was a priest colleague of mine in the Episcopal Diocese of MN and is now retired there, this terrorized man, ChongLy Thao, is a cousin of one of the priests at the Hmong-majority Episcopal congregation in the Twin Cities. Oh, and Thao is indeed a U.S. citizen. ⚓️

Almighty Father, who inspired Simon Peter, first among the apostles, to confess Jesus as Messiah and Son of the living God: Keep your Church steadfast upon the rock of this faith, so that in unity and peace we may proclaim the one truth and follow the one Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ... ⚓

Sound up. This is beautiful, bringing me to tears and also reminding me of the promise of a new song in Psalm 40, which many Christians heard read in church yesterday. Having lived in Minnesota, I know how cold it is there. Brrr. ❄️⚓

Messiah, St. Paul has welcomed refugees and immigrants from several countries. Getting reports today of detentions in St. Paul of their friends and neighbours with legal status. I am grateful that several in the Church's immigrant community are working to have them released. Please pray. ⚓
