It looks like some of The Episcopal Church standing committees and interim bodies started meeting today. Anyone out there attending? If so, what's happening? Do tell! (I'm not jealous AT ALL!) 😁

@scalzi Makes me glad I'm on such a small instance. ^^;
@realcaseyrollins yes it can be taught. I learned how in grad school. Lots of personal reflection papers and having your soul ripped apart by peer groups.
It seems like #Ticketmaster may be approaching #Comcast levels of corporate suck.
Listening to a podcast from #OnTheMedia about Mastodon. According to the intro there's a longer version coming this weekend.
Very happy to note they mentioned the Fediverse, too.

I just noticed @alex copied QOTOs rules/about page when he wrote the gleasonator about page. I dont mind of course, I am glad he found them valuable. A lot of servers seem to replicate our rules in fact, its an honor if anything.
I'm glad he fund it valuable.
@cjbooker I offer an alternative view that not everyone on here wants to offer up their gender as a data point for others to attach their prejudices to. I know that at the current moment not sharing pronouns is seen as rejecting the rights of people to be addressed with their gender identity, but I think one should not have to reveal ones gender to participate in the discussion. It is why I have listed ze/zem in my profile. These are not the pronouns I use IRL, but I choose to participate in this online space without declaring a gender.
@japierce I hear the concern, but I think outside of a pandemic those you identify are better served by Eucharistic Visitors. Especially for people who struggle to attend church, personal contact with a physical person is one of the great gifts that our community can provide.
On the other hand, virtu spiritual formation and bible study seems like a real success.
So maybe this is the wrong place and space, but have there been any further thoughts or discussions on Virtual Eucharist? I couldn’t find the folks to follow at GC, but think it’s a swell idea for the elderly, at risk, those in hospice, people doing eldercare, shift workers, etc… #MobilizeTheSacraments #VirtualEucharist #OnlineChurch #EqualAccessChurch #Episcopal #Eucharist
I've been on Mastodon a couple years, on and off, and this is the first time I've felt there is a huge number of people all at once watching the same event. #Artemis launch.
