After reading about a Georgia Christian high school expelling a young woman for bring a trans boy to prom AND learning that that school uses the language of "neighborliness" for its values, I felt compelled to write a little bit about the so-called "Good Samaritan" parable.

I saw #Superman yesterday and it prompted this post on the Apocrypha and #religious themes in the film. Yes, it's weird. Also, spoilers ahead!

On this tenth anniversary of the #Obergefell decision, and given the renewed debates around same-sex marriage coming from certain Christian sectors, it seemed right to share this:

Cette semaine est diffusé le premier épisode d'une histoire pas drôle, mais puissante !
Je vous laisse la découvrir ici :
https://www.radioecclesia.com/static/upload/2025/07/20250718164903.mp3
C'est l'histoire de la deuxième femme d'un laboureur, d'une stérile, d'une de celles qui ne sont rien : Anne.
Anne, c'est une femme mythique qui subit l'humiliation du patriarcat et qui, un jour, relève la tête et fait face. Avec les conséquences que cela implique.
Cet épisode, inspiré par le livre de Samuel, est enregistré par Radio 16 et Radio Ecclesia.
Trigger warning : stérilité, humiliation, séparation des enfants.

Cette semaine, on suit l'enfant Samuel qui grandit au temple (en cliquant sur ce lien !).

L'enfant est apprécié par les nombreux pèlerins. Mais les fils de son maître font le mal et personne ne semble s'en apercevoir.
Alors c'est directement auprès de Dieu qu'il va chercher la sagesse dont il a besoin. Qu'en fera-t-il ?
Bonne écoute !

Been a few weeks, but here's a new post on the ol' blog (and not the one I accidentally deleted last night!), wherein I use a deeply nerdy Godzilla discussion as a launchpad for a discussion on narrative theology.
A second reflection I wrote after being at the Hands Off demonstrations yesterday, this time an exploration of what it means to be "blessed"--even when an angry Trump supporter yells at you from his car window.

Because people the world over Still celebrate the birth of a baby named #Jesus who was born over 2000 years ago ~ ISN'T THAT AMAZING? Why was/IS this 1 man so important?
Along with this🔽commentary, consider reading the fascinating Details of his birth, life, ministry, teachings, death, resurrection & his eternal rulership in the #KingdomOfGod that are contained in the #bible

So my piece on the Holy Innocents a few weeks or so back garnered a little bit of discussion. So I figured it was worthwhile to follow that up with a longer essay on the nature of Truth in scripture that, I hope, will help enrich folks' appreciation of the Bible.

After many weeks (has it been months?) I have a new entry on the blog! This one is in praise of the Book of Common Prayer.
