Rev. Charles BrowningSo, I think that today might mark the first time I managed to work a #Godzilla illustration into a sermon (with a little nod to Neon Genesis Evangelion).
Sermon starts around the 30:00 mark if you're curious!

I stand with the Pope in call for peace, says Archbishop of Canterbury
“I urge Anglicans across the Church of England and the Anglican Communion to join with His Holiness in raising our voices for peace and justice throughout the world,” Archbishop Mullally said in the statement, released on Thursday afternoon.
“I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable.
“It is the calling of every Christian — and of all people of faith and goodwill — to work and pray for peace. We must also urge all those entrusted with political authority to pursue every possible peaceful and just means of resolving conflict.”

The Catechetic ConverterWhen The Hard Wood of The Cross Comes Down

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)I recently stumbled across this series of blog posts by the Bishop of Wisconsin where he seeks to “capture something of the spirit of the Anglican tradition to which the Episcopal Church belongs.” Each post contains quotes from a variety of Anglicans reaching from the Reformation to the present day, addressing various aspects of our tradition. This is a link to the first post, but I found in all of them great insights into Anglican Christianity.

Today we'll be discussing how big God is. We often focus our attention on the immanence of God, and our more intimate relationship with Him, but it's important that we also remember that God is BIG.
Join us at 2:30pm Hawai'i time
The Immensity of God

i.
In sable night
that lacks the stars,
a sealed off cave.
A man, five scars.
The tail of night,
a crack is heard.
Black stone is rolled,
a flight of birds.
Beloved with
her oils and herbs.
She sees the stone
and finds no words.

Vigil
A #poetry thread
i.
A portal with a warning line,
this cave’s mouth made of blackened stone.
A journey split from mortal time —
into the black. Cries, echoes, groans.
Down I descend to frozen depths.
A poet, partner, pulls me on
past popes and princes who, plaintive, wept
for what to them is neverdawn.

Limbus
Tree trunk, stripped bare.
Crossbar, damp air.
Black clouds, crows caw,
perched on nails — gone.
A sign, four words.
No voice is heard.
Cramped cave, stone bed
where herbs lay — bled.
Long wait, dark night.
No candles burn bright.
Hinted return.
But silence — burns.

i.
An evening meal with an old friend
who told us he’d cross a stony bridge,
its span a trial, then he’d descend
to wade into black waters’ edge.
Upon the table stripped and bare,
a bowl of dried roses, grey as stone.
The meal that we'd been served was spare:
a loaf, thinned wine, a candle blown.

Today we conclude our series on the first part of the apocryphal book Wisdom of Solomon.
It's going to be a little earlier than usual today because of some family business that I have to take care of. So join us live at 11:30 am Hawai'i time (and of course, whenever after)
