LIVE: Congregations of The Satanic Temple observe National Day of Prayer at the Michigan Capitol

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.

#Trump used #NationalDayOfPrayer to push his "one big beautiful bill". Tax cuts for the very wealthy, which are "part of the religion"

"We love that bill, I won't like it if it doesn't pass. Neither will you. If it doesn't pass, your taxes are going to go up 68 percent"

"And this is a religious ceremony to me, but that's part of the religion, because if your taxes go up 68 percent, you might give up your religion. You might have no choice. You'll be working too hard to try and make it"

https://ground.news/article/sudanese-return-to-their-homeland-hoping-for-stability-but-finding-it-still-wrecked-by-war?utm_source=mobile-app&utm_medium=article-share My #EpiscopalChurch has sponsored & supported several #Sudanese #refugees over the years, including a now priest (who is one of my favorite people & the only ordination I’ve attended since Covid) Few, if any, of the families we’ve helped settle in the U.S. are thinking of returning to #Sudan this story reminds us of the importance of welcoming #immigrants & of #home These are people who have fled #war & #famine as the Israelites did in the Old Testament. These are people seeking a better life & future for themselves & their families. When we call for an end to #immigration we forget that our forbears were all #immigrants at some point. We forget that we are called to welcome others as we were welcomed. On the #NationalDayofPrayer let us all pray for the grace to welcome strangers, seeing in them our future friends.
Sudanese return to their homeland, hoping for stability but finding it still wrecked by war

Ahmed Abdalla sat on a sidewalk in downtown Cairo, waiting for a bus that will start him on his journey back to Sudan. He doesn’t know what he’ll find in his homeland, wrecked and still embroiled in a 2-year-old war.
