My daily devotion reader today talked about how *hope* is a *supernatural* virtue. I guess that explains why I can't shake it. 🤣 boydcamak.wordpress.com/2025/03/09/m...

Maybe I need to give process theology another look.

How do we bring about the vision of justice and equity that Jesus proclaims in the Gospel? In the Gospel this week, Jesus proclaims a promise of economic reversal - those who have will lose what they have and those who do without will be given what they lack. And the way St. Luke presents this…

So… does this Gospel teaching actually work? I am hearing more and more people tell me that Jesus’ call to love our enemies, to turn of the other cheek, to not complain when someone takes your possesions, to do good to those who do evil to you… well, it’s just nonsense. It’s another example of…

Is anyone talking about *resentment* and what it does to us?

Note to self: our true enemy is Satan, and he has already been defeated.

As Ramadan begins tonight, I want to wish the Muslim community in Virginia and across the world a blessed and reflective month. May this time bring peace to all observing. Ramadan Mubarak!

If you think that your Christian faith justifies your state-sponsored killing, then I pity you more than those that you are executing. boydcamak.wordpress.com/2025/02/23/i...

I’m reminded that I’m getting older every time I encounter now-standard punctuation, grammar and pronunciation that in my youth was considered to be ignorant and grounds for excommunication from polite society. (I’m told that much of the New Testament could arguably have faced the same reception.)

the Way to defang power boydcamak.wordpress.com/2025/02/05/t...

Sharing this from Rt. Rev. Jonathan H. Folts, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota. “One of our own priests was targeted at his home—so let no one say, ‘it can’t happen here.’ It can. It has. It is. And rest assured, we will not remain silent or passive in responding.” My heart aches.

This is the time to lead with gentleness. With delight. Fascism thrives on equating power to might. Being tender and bendable and loving — and still here — is our super power. It shows what a farce false power is.

Come and take it. boydcamak.wordpress.com/2025/01/31/c...

A letter from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. “I never thought I would live in a time when the United States government would censure a bishop, jeopardize religious free speech, or threaten to take people while they attend worship.” ⚓️
