Today's lectionary didn't get the memo about the National Day of Prayer. The Psalms are lament. Leviticus measures holiness by how we treat the immigrant. Matthew tells us not to worry. A look at what our tradition already quietly accomplishes at: https://notd.io/n/DayofPrayer2026 #NationalDayofPrayer #Prayer #Lectionary #TraditionRemixed #FunctioningFaith #EpiscopalChurch

Tradition Remixed: Why Episcopalians Don’t Do The National Day of Prayer - Notd.io

The National Day of Prayer didn’t grow out of ancient Christian practice but out of Cold War politics and later the culture‑war activism of the Religious Right. The Episcopal Church doesn’t formally observe it—not because we don’t pray, but because our life is already shaped by the Daily Office, Forward Day by Day, and the quiet rhythm of the lectionary. Today’s readings offer a very different vision of prayer: not performance, but trust, justice, and covenant. The full Tradition Remixed post explores why that difference matters and what it reveals about how we pray.

Our baptismal covenant in the #EpiscopalChurch includes the following:

Q. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
A. I will, with God's help

We fail continually, but that's a vow we reaffirm at least 3 times/year

The #Catholic Church views Anglican orders as invalid since 1896 (Apostolicae Curae), blocking full unity.

New Hampshire Episcopal bishop warns clergy of a new era of martyrdom

A New Hampshire Episcopal bishop is drawing national attention for urging clergy to prepare for a “new era of martyrdom.” Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire made these comments earlier this month at a vigil for Renee Good, who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. Hirschfeld cited historical clergy who risked their lives for others, including Jonathan Daniels, a seminary student killed in 1965 while protecting a civil rights activist. Hirschfeld emphasized that Christians should not fear death, urging readiness to stand up for the vulnerable.
