Today I am thankful for Title IV of The Episcopal Church's Canons. Title IV details the grounds and process for ecclesiastical discipline. It is a church-wide structure to address claims that bishops, priests, or deacons may have engaged in conduct constituting an offense under the Canons. It encourages accountability, justice, reconciliation, restoration, and pastoral responses.
I believe the Rev'd Charles Gaskell became a bishop, too. (Unless I am terribly mistaken)

I also bid your prayers for the people of All Saints Pasadena, an LGBTQ-inclusive parish that received two threats of mass violence this week.
As an instance admin, I see a lot of hashtagged abbreviations. Often I don't know the meaning of an abbreviation, or it means something different to me than the original tagger. Please resolve your abbreviations; for example, instead of typing #TEC, type #TheEpiscopalChurch.
"Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

There are some signs of new life.
A new form of Episcopal mission in New Hampshire reflects new community vitality

I'm saddened by the news that St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Rochester NY has voted to disband. My last parish (St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene) had a companion relationship with St. Stephen's. Our diocese and our denomination are slowly evaporating.
This book looks interesting.
