#TGIF, so I can listen to music not just in the background, but also focused on what I'm listening to.

When #Russians were trying to encircle #kyiv she couldn’t return to her #monastery
Her father sent her and other nuns to Alexander Nevsky’s Church.
But the Ukrainian nuns did not fully escape the war. Not only did the #israelihamaswar begin, but #Russia hopes to seize ownership of the #church
They pray not only for peace, but for #Ukrainian defenders.
The site is often referred to as #putin 's favorite Jerusalem church, hearing this, Sister Elizabeth, can’t help but grin...
The #Kremlin has said that obtaining the #church is a top priority. Israel halted the transfer of the church's ownership to #russia leading to tension between the 2 countries, when both are at war.
But it has also meant that the Ukrainian nuns can pray here safely – for now.
Sister Ioanna stands in front of #calvary
She arrived in #Jerusalem two weeks after Russia invaded in February 2022. She appears cautious when it comes to politics, except for war.
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Nuns usually avoid politics.
Yet Ukrainian nuns at #Putin's favorite church in #Jerusalem still pray for their home.
The #Kremlin desperately wants control of the #church -- and to expel the Ukrainians.
Here's why:

Are the Gospels a made-up story?
Acts is a very good example of why you should have confidence in the truth of the word of God. That this Word is not just a sort of made-up story, it’s something which was written by people who were eyewitnesses, who saw it, who recorded what happened, and who have given us a faithful record of the events concerning the ministry of the Lord Jesus, of His death, of His resurrection.

If anyone is interested in vetted, primary-source-rooted news coming from #Gaza , the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem (#AFEDJ) has set up an updates page for what's going on in the region. It's not necessarily as current as we might be used to, but it's at least accurate and attempts at being non-partisan. This is probably especially important for those interested in the #Christians and the #Church in the region.
Trinity Church Boston Massachusetts ©Debra Martz
Trinity Church, the famous Copley Square building, is the 3rd home to this parish. The 1st two were located in what is now the Downtown Crossing area of Boston. After the Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the 2nd church, construction of the new church took place from 1872 to 1877 and today it is a National Historic Landmark.

I used DxO PhotoLab's split toning setting on this photo I took at dusk tonight of the Christian Scientists' Church in Concord, NH. I'm not quite sure what that setting is for - but I feel like it gave the church a good, ominous look. What do you think?

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the church of St Martha, in Tarascon, France.
The church / sanctuary is built on the site of her house. She moved to Tarascon from Bethany in 48 CE, taming a water dragon that was terrifying the locality. The citizens butchered it anyway.
(Frankly, I might have left at that point).

"Your editorial ignores the harm that the Church of England’s leadership wreaked during the equal marriage debate a decade ago. After 20 years working as a church musician, I left the C of E in 2013 in protest at the priority that it placed on a false concept of church unity, at the expense of LGBTQ+ people’s lives. My husband and I did marry, but not in church – despite decades of service. I, and countless others, will not return to church life.

Millions of #Catholics are apparently suddenly discovering that the #Catholic #Church's leadership system is a dictatorship, not a democracy, and the #Pope has the power to just get rid of a #Bishop or #Cardinal.
Yeah, you're not the first group of #Christians to think "hey, that's not how a church should be run", that was literally the basis of the #Protestant reformation. :V

Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby stmt yesterday:
"I join with my brother in Christ, Patriarch Theophilos III, in horror and grief that the Orthodox #Church compound in #Gaza was struck last night.
When we met in Jerusalem this morning, the death toll was still unknown and people were still buried under the rubble.
I pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, and for all civilians caught up in this appalling violence."

I used to support #Palestine, but I've come to realize that they are only there for #religious reasons; they could have left by now. The war against them is unjust, #Israel should never have stolen their land, but they did and at some point you have to adapt to reality. Even if it means losing a stupid old #church.
UPDATE: this post was taken down because I spoke poorly of Israel, typical.
Just to be absolutely clear; fuck Israel and their supporters.
Fun fact: Church membership in America in 1900 was actually lower than it is today.
A lot of things people think "have always been that way" simply haven't always been that way.
