There are few ills that cannot be cured by listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack and crying

Happy to report I have survived the annual Christmas madness. Now to enjoy New Year's and Epiphany.

Seeeend us thine asteroiiid ohhh loooord

the rich he hath sent empty away

This Christmas remember to put the Christ back in Christmas by reclaiming Christ from the bigots and spreading the true Gospel of freeing the oppressed and helping the marginalised 🕯️

On the 14th day of Advent my true love gave to meeee... Crippling anxietyyyyyyy

Merry Lucymas! Especially to my Scandi followers 🧡🕯️

Do I bake cookies today or do I record music or do I do both

smells *and* bells? In THIS economy?! ⚓️

Ah yes it is the season to remind people that syncretism exists and that people don't drop their whole culture when they adopt a new religion because that's a very fundamentalist idea of religion and conversion that wasn't common until fairly recently

I used to be more of a contemplative, spiritually. Recently I feel God has been pushing me to be more hands-on in how I live my faith. It's difficult when you're terrified of confrontation

Hot take but switching religious groups does not automatically equal deconstruction. Many people change rituals but not how they approach spirituality and/or deities. There's a fundamentalist flavour available of every belief system.

US Evangelicals read the Gospels Challenge: Level Impossible

I am so tired of the US evangelical brand of Christianity somehow becoming the default in popular culture when they do not represent even close to a majority of Christians on the planet and present their weird 19th century beliefs as ancient and "biblical"

I refuse to call these posts skeets it just sounds inappropriate 😭

I could do a whole podcast about the manifold ways in which "conservative Christian values" are the antithesis of the Gospel but here I am, ranting on social media instead

Oof! After Justin Welby's farewell remarks in the Lords, the #CofE episcopal solidarity dam is breaking. Read this. ✝️

Love the sinner hate the sin is one of the most hateful statements you can make and I will die on that hill

God is not waiting around a corner trying to catch you sinning. God is not petty.

Doubt is a prerequisite of faith, not a hindrance to it 🕯️

Not to be controversial, but labelling the Bible with verses is one of the worst things that ever happened to it. It's a bit harder to take things out of context if you have to point to a whole book or chapter.

Fellow church musicians in Advent. Concert 1 has been survived. Stay strong, comrades.

One of the great temptations among Anglicans is a tendency to see ourselves as exempt from the issues in the wider Christian community. A little humility and accountability wouldn't be amiss. People don't care if you're not "that" kind of Christian. That means nothing to someone who was hurt. 🕯️

Favourite O Antiphon? 🕯️

Elphaba is the Old Catholic Church and Glinda is the Roman Catholic Church prove me wrong

My mood as a church musician as we approach advent

Merry Sunday

SIIIING FOR THE MORNING'S JOY CECILIA SIIIIING Happy Feast of St Cecilia 🕯️

What's your favourite trinitarian heresy? I'm partial to a bit of modalism myself at times 🕯️

Continue the hymn with the wrong text: Praise, my soul, the king of heaven,

JAUCHZET - No. No. Not yet. 😭

Favourite gloomy carols, go! 🕯️

Does anyone else build monasteries in the Sims or is that just me

Arise, shine, for your light has come,

Kyrie Eleison Christe Eleison Kyrie Eleison

as a former parish administrator and church ngo secretary I feel I should be able to put "priest-wrangler" on my CV 🕯️

personally I think every church should have a resident cat. That will do more for declining church attendance than anything else.

Tis the season to make the whole house smell like rose incense 🕯️
