I've been reading Hanna Reichel's excellent "For Such a Time as This: An Emergency Devotional."

Today's reading, "One Body", or Hold onto Unity, is incredibly thought- and hope-provoking.

A couple snippets:

"Conversations over different interpretations of the faith, advocacy for peace and justice, service for the marginalized and poor, and proclamation of the gospel could not be in competition with each other. Their grounding in Christ meant that they should instead deepen and enrich each other."

"Unity is not a claim that we agree on all things, or even the hope of future agreement. Unity is a commitment to grapple with one another, rather than give one another up. Unity insists that we have something to learn from each other, and that our gifts can complement each other. Unity does not mean integrating smoothly or sweeping disagreements under the rug. Unity means curating spaces in which we can challenge one another in a spirit of love."

This is my number one lifehack for #liturgy. Microsoft products reliably do the worst possible thing when you copy rich media from one application to another. Copying text from one format of liturgy to another? Hey, I'll automatically give you a weird mix of both formats! You chose 'keep text only': I'll insert fifty-seven blanks lines and some indents between every paragraph!

This runs in the background, automatically forcing the paste buffer to be plain text only. And then (mostly) everything works much nicer.

Totally unhelpful if you're copying and pasting images though 😄
