One of the first times sailing up Saigon river towards Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
Suddenly I see this church appearing on the port side river bank. And I notice the top of the church.
Back in those days I had no internet to help me, so I had to ask around to learn what those symbols really were.

I know it makes me a bit of an outlier as a “Catholic”-leaning #Episcopalian, but I really, deeply love the #BookOfCommonPrayer1979, especially Rite II. It’s the book that brought me to the #Episcopal #Church from my wanderings after a life in #fundamentalism and #evangelicalism. I get why folks want to change things, but I want to express my love for the book and how its words have worked their way into my very being.

Stoned Waiters, #JehovahWitness Funeral, and #Communion without #Christ
incl Kathleen's wild experience at a pizza place where everyone was high as a kite is one we laughed way too hard at. Aubrie has an interesting interaction at a Jehovah Witness #funeral with some of the #church goers as well as having a run in with some past church friends at a kid's birthday party. She also took her first non-#evangelical communion.

In Belgium, a recent documentary on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has caused shock and soul-searching, reigniting a debate about the way religion is funded in the country.
Unlike in neighbouring France, the Belgian state finances officially recognised religions, with representatives of the Catholic Church receiving the best pay.
But the abuse scandal has seen many people demand a change in the rules.
Church around this time of year was always annoying to me as a kid because they had that sweet mystery box that you weren’t allowed to open, and they didn’t even sing the bangers yet. All they had were candles and letters from Ezekiel to Methuselah or whatever read by Rudy the smelly old guy who lives for this. White people church is the worst for kids. #church

Whithorn Priory in Dumfries & Galloway. The building you see today is the successor to the first church in Scotland, probably built over sixteen centuries ago in the 390s. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/whithorn/whithornpriory/index.html

The church should not be viewed as an appropriate place to receive sex education. Their reputation at the least precludes any opportunity to be part of a rational conversation.
Roman Catholics need to get out of peoples bedrooms. It’s appalling.
If a private school is unable to provide the public curriculum then they shouldn’t receive a cent of public money.

St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral. One of the many beautiful and elaborate churches in the Cleveland area. Completed in 1913 and considered one of the finest examples of Russian church architecture in the US. This church appeared in the 1978 film "The Deer Hunter".

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:

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?

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.
