The Book of Common Prayer

The Book of Common Prayer: And Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church, According to the Use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America : Together with the Psalter, Or Psalms of David | Episcopal Church

I‘d just like to take a moment to share a lil‘ picture I took of a small misprint in this morning‘s liturgy at my church 😆

I‘m sure it was completely unintentional; our admin likely copy/pasted the first Sunday of Lent liturgy from last year and didn‘t notice there were adjustments needed, but still. It made me chuckle.

marleed Oh, I bet that made some MAGA folks irritable. 2w

Lcsmcat How I wish! 2w

BarbaraJean @marleed The MAGA folks are few and far between at our church! The music director, who was leading this section, just skipped the names, which was probably the best way to handle it. @Lcsmcat I know, right? My husband commented “I'd rather pray for Biden anyway.“ 😆 Although for my own mental and spiritual health, I need to pray for both... 2w

Lcsmcat @BarbaraJean We quit naming him during Trump 1, just pray for the “leaders of the nation and the world.” 2w

BarbaraJean @Lcsmcat We tend to fluctuate back and forth between using specific names and using the more general “leaders“ language. I have a hard time with hearing his name, especially in prayer. Even more so when I'm on the schedule to lead the Prayers of the People! The specific name is difficult for me, but it also helps me exercise the muscle of compassion, which I need so deeply—especially right now. 2w

Lcsmcat @BarbaraJean Yes, we all need to exercise those right now! But that doesn‘t make it easy. I‘m reading Bishop Budde‘s book right now.

BarbaraJean @Lcsmcat It's needed but SO hard. I need to add her book to my TBR. Maybe by the time I clear some reading space in my schedule, there will be some library copies available!! 2w

BarbaraJean @mcctrish I know, right? 2w

marleed @BarbaraJean That makes me happy! My fear is that so many places of worship have given way to Christian Nationalism that it‘s become harder for those believing in the separation of church and state to find comfort there. 2w

BarbaraJean @marleed The Christian Nationalism that is creeping into so many Christian spaces is heartbreaking to me (and is one of the reasons I don't regret leaving the evangelical spaces I was previously part of). I'm glad to be a member of an Episcopal church that is progressive in its theology and encourages people to THINK for themselves instead of telling them what to think. 2w

Book covers were so much more ornate once upon a time, like this antique silver book cover.

I‘ve been one since I found Litsy to save all quotes I love inside this app, but this is going to have to be one that I write down in my journal.
It just sets such a beautiful intention for each day and has hit me in heart each time I‘ve read over it since getting “Let‘s All Be Brave” from my friend yesterday afternoon. 💜
