I love God, my wife & daughter, the Church, theology (inc. writing: https://xitter.cf/t.co/UH9QX8gH5F), whiskey, and cheesecake... Who doesn't love cheesecake?

“What binds us together in our church is our worship, not that we all agree about what that worship means.” A helpful reminder from Bishop Hunn of Rio Grande as the HOB debates 8069 #GC80

I've had a lot of questions about why I tried to remove B008 from the Consent calendar. The answer to that can barely fit in a tweet, so view my reply to a meme! This first time deputy got a GENCON meme. Is it good or bad? IDK, but it's something!😂tinyurl.com/ycy3e5dd #GC80

We’ve all inherited a racial mess. Racism isn’t about guilt. It’s about responsibility. We all have a responsibility to repair the damage of centuries of theft. #BishopEugeneSutton #Baltimore #Episcopal #Reparations #ReparationsNow #Christ #Christianity #WhatWouldJesusDo #GC80

This is the main point, I think: 18: This amendment is consistent with the Task Force's recommendation to transfer all responsibilities of the Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget, and Finance to the Executive Council, thereby eliminating the need for that JSC (2/2) #gc80
As the HoB at #GC80 prepares to reconvene in 10 minutes, some thoughts on why I think today's amendment to our Constitution is a mistake and would be detrimental to the church of the 21st century. "How a Book is a Book (and Why it Still Matters)" carewiththecure.blogspot.com…
Can someone catch me up on the goal of floor amendment 031 in the HoB? Is it closer to A069 or B011? Entirely different? #gc80
The live stream of the HoD at #GC80 is broadcasting several microphones at the same time, including the Spanish translation. Delightfully interesting but impossible to actually hear anything clearly….

“For justice, for inclusion, for Jesus” is just one phrase of a beautiful inaugural speech from PHOD-elect Julia Ayala Harris! #gc80

So, @ayala_harris, you ready for that TikTok dance? #gc80

The bishops of the Diocese of Texas are saddened by the revelations in A127. We encourage our church to join in curiosity about Indigenous Boarding schools in our regions. We voted for this unanimously as EDOT Bishops. #GC80

“These children had parents!” Preach bishop! #Indigenous Boarding School Justice #GC80
Similar to yesterday in the HoD, today’s testimony in the HoB on resolution A127, regarding truth telling about our church’s history with indigenous boarding schools, is deeply moving and powerful. It is clearly long past time for us to begin this work. #gc80
I first met @ayala_harris on a flight to a church conference on Latino ministry. What stands out in my mind is how wise, thoughtful, and passionate she was about the future of TEC, particularly through her work at the top of our church. #GC80, please elect her as the new PHOD.
Just finished my morning check in with my favorite Episcopalian, and one of the reasons I am so passionate about the future of our church. Lucy says, “Good morning, #GC80!”
Kudos to Deputy Kevin Miller for speaking honestly and courageously about his experience as a member of our church with mental illness. Bravo. #gc80
