    I don’t have the bandwidth to even acknowledge the cicadas all around me. Them, and the UFOs, will have to wait a couple weeks.

  5. Priesthood isn't a hierarchy of authority. It is a hallowing of human life and vocation. A hallowing of the world.

  6. We are all priests with a calling, not necessarily priests with a collar.

  7. I'm convinced that the "human priesthood" is the vocation given by God to us in the Genesis story - the work to oversee, till, and keep the "garden" of creation.

  8. Ours is not only a "priesthood of all believers," but a human priesthood. Every moment, we mediate the holy to each other, as we dwell in the border lands of the sacred presence. Practice grace. Practice gratitude. Practice forgiveness. Practice justice.

  9. Priesthood is a fundamental and inescapable part of being human. All human beings, knowingly or not, minister as priests to one another. All of us, knowingly or not, receive priestly ministrations from one another. - L. William Countryman

  12. "What good is it if you say you have faith but don't have works? Can faith save you? If a person is naked & lacks food & you say to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm & eat your fill’, yet you don't supply their bodily needs, what good is that? So faith by itself, w/o works, is dead."

  13. "If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. Religion that is pure & undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans & widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

    On Thursday, I'm moderating a conversation with LGBTQ parents and a legal scholar who filed a brief in a Supreme Court case that will decide if a Catholic agency can discriminate against same-sex couples who want to foster children. Register to watch here:

  16. Praying for the family of George Floyd today, both his actual family and the millions and millions of people around the world for whom he became a brother. May his memory continue to inspire change. May all our hearts and actions be renewed in love for true justice.

    I am a signer on this letter, and urge you to share this in your networks,. I support and also support academic freedom. When Universities allow outside political dissenters to dictate their processes, we all lose.
