Here's my review of 'Conclave', which I very much enjoyed. For me at least the film is a letter of love and hope directed to the Church, offering challenge paired with encouragement. Ralph Fiennes is incredible, and so is Isabella Rossellini.

my sermon for today – on the forces that push us apart, and how we might instead embrace what Jesus offers us – release from captivity, the true unity of the Body.

As of this moment, TikTok is no more. We will continue to offer Mass via our Facebook page, YouTube (https://youtube.com/@saintfrancisparish), our own social video site (https://video.myocci.social), and YouNow (https://younow.com/bishopgreg). The QA after Mass will be moved to YouNow. Hope to see you all at 3:00 pm ET Sunday!

First meeting this evening of what I hope and pray will become the parish youth group.

Explored Gen 2-3 (Eve and Adam and God) drawing on Dr Linn Tonstad’s famous paper reading it as a theological exploration of adolescence, and then we watched the movie Barbie together. Fab!

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 😄

I'm Matt Hambrick, Pastor of Costa Mesa First United Methodist Church. I love Jesus and I love people and it makes me a relentlessly open and affirming pastor in Orange County. I'm an existential theology junkie trying not to be a theobro. Søren Kierkegaard is my father in faith. I'm daily seeking to take a leap of faith.
