<p>A little piece about God, His Oneness, and how He uniquely relates to us. I owe a huge debt to the Rev. Dr. Katherine Sonderegger and her Systematic Theology series (and also having her as a professor) for this. </p><p><a href="/tags/god/" rel="tag">#God</a> <a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/god-is-his-own-being" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/god-is-his-own-being"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/god-is</span><span class="invisible">-his-own-being</span></a></p>

<p>I truly believe that Tradition is a balm for our broken world and us as individuals. </p><p><a href="/tags/tradition/" rel="tag">#Tradition</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/radically-traditional" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/radically-traditional"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/radica</span><span class="invisible">lly-traditional</span></a></p>

<p>After reading about a Georgia Christian high school expelling a young woman for bring a trans boy to prom AND learning that that school uses the language of &quot;neighborliness&quot; for its values, I felt compelled to write a little bit about the so-called &quot;Good Samaritan&quot; parable.</p><p><a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#theology</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/trans/" rel="tag">#trans</a> <a href="/tags/lgbtq/" rel="tag">#LGBTQ</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/being-a-neighbor-or-why-good-or-samaritan-dont-need-to-factor-in" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/being-a-neighbor-or-why-good-or-samaritan-dont-need-to-factor-in"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/being-</span><span class="invisible">a-neighbor-or-why-good-or-samaritan-dont-need-to-factor-in</span></a></p>

<p>Let’s get a little weird for the weekend! This is my first longer blog post and I’ve been doing a fair bit of reflection on <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> and <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#Technology</a> these days…</p><p><a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/weird/" rel="tag">#Weird</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/gods-technology" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/gods-technology"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/gods-t</span><span class="invisible">echnology</span></a></p>

<p>On this tenth anniversary of the <a href="/tags/obergefell/" rel="tag">#Obergefell</a> decision, and given the renewed debates around same-sex marriage coming from certain Christian sectors, it seemed right to share this:</p><p><a href="/tags/lgbtq/" rel="tag">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/marriage/" rel="tag">#Marriage</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#theology</a> </p><p><a href="https://write.as/frchazzz/same-sex-marriage-and-the-church" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="write.as/frchazzz/same-sex-marriage-and-the-church"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">write.as/frchazzz/same-sex-mar</span><span class="invisible">riage-and-the-church</span></a></p>

<p>Was at the <a href="/tags/handsoff/" rel="tag">#HandsOff</a> demonstrations today in <a href="/tags/honolulu/" rel="tag">#Honolulu</a>. Was handed this <a href="/tags/trans/" rel="tag">#Trans</a> pride flag, which inspired this little entry:</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/being-ministered-to" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/being-ministered-to"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/being-</span><span class="invisible">ministered-to</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a></p>

<p>Been a few weeks, but here&#x27;s a new post on the ol&#x27; blog (and not the one I accidentally deleted last night!), wherein I use a deeply nerdy Godzilla discussion as a launchpad for a discussion on narrative theology.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/let-the-story-speak" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/let-the-story-speak"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/let-th</span><span class="invisible">e-story-speak</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#theology</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/godzilla/" rel="tag">#Godzilla</a></p>

<p>A second reflection I wrote after being at the Hands Off demonstrations yesterday, this time an exploration of what it means to be &quot;blessed&quot;--even when an angry Trump supporter yells at you from his car window.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/a-blessed-insult" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/a-blessed-insult"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/a-bles</span><span class="invisible">sed-insult</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#Politics</a> <a href="/tags/handsoff/" rel="tag">#HandsOff</a> <a href="/tags/hawaii/" rel="tag">#Hawaii</a></p>

<p>In these dark times I figured it was worthwhile to write something a little more light and hopeful. I love corny earnestness in <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> and so I wanted to share with you all a bit about my favorite examples of Retrofuturism enshrined in the liturgy of the Episcopal Church</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/space-age-prayer" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/space-age-prayer"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/space-</span><span class="invisible">age-prayer</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/retrofuturism/" rel="tag">#Retrofuturism</a> <a href="/tags/liturgy/" rel="tag">#liturgy</a> <a href="/tags/worship/" rel="tag">#worship</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#space</a> <a href="/tags/spacetravel/" rel="tag">#SpaceTravel</a> <a href="/tags/nasa/" rel="tag">#NASA</a></p>

<p>New piece on the blog! This one offering a theological commentary on Christianity and technology (and how it might be rooted in an eschatological heresy!)</p><p><a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/evangelical/" rel="tag">#Evangelical</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/aislop/" rel="tag">#AISlop</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/christians-are-supposed-to-be-left-behind" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/christians-are-supposed-to-be-left-behind"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/christ</span><span class="invisible">ians-are-supposed-to-be-left-behind</span></a></p>

<p>On the fourth day of Christmas we get... a pretty horrible story, actually. But, good news, it&#x27;s probably fictional. Bad news, it&#x27;s a fictional story meant to capture the all-too-real horrors of much of our world.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/on-the-holy-innocents" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/on-the-holy-innocents"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/on-the</span><span class="invisible">-holy-innocents</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/christmas/" rel="tag">#Christmas</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#History</a> <a href="/tags/gaza/" rel="tag">#Gaza</a> <a href="/tags/ukraine/" rel="tag">#Ukraine</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a></p>

<p>On the fifth day of <a href="/tags/christmas/" rel="tag">#Christmas</a> my true love gave to me... the commemoration of a man who should probably be the patron saint of England: Saint Thomas of Canterbury.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/on-saint-thomas-of-canterbury" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/on-saint-thomas-of-canterbury"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/on-sai</span><span class="invisible">nt-thomas-of-canterbury</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/england/" rel="tag">#England</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#History</a></p>

<p>So my piece on the Holy Innocents a few weeks or so back garnered a little bit of discussion. So I figured it was worthwhile to follow that up with a longer essay on the nature of Truth in scripture that, I hope, will help enrich folks&#x27; appreciation of the Bible.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/deeper-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/deeper-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/deeper</span><span class="invisible">-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/imabelieverintheideathatfactorfictionwassomethingrikerdidontheholodeckforfun/" rel="tag">#ImABelieverInTheIdeaThatFactOrFictionWasSomethingRikerDidOnTheHolodeckForFun</a></p>

<p>After many weeks (has it been months?) I have a new entry on the blog! This one is in praise of the Book of Common Prayer.</p><p><a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/liturgy/" rel="tag">#Liturgy</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/in-praise-of-the-book-of-common-prayer" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/in-praise-of-the-book-of-common-prayer"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/in-pra</span><span class="invisible">ise-of-the-book-of-common-prayer</span></a></p>

<p>Since today is the Feast of the Annunciation and I&#x27;m a priest at a church dedicated to Our Lady, figured I&#x27;d write a little something about the day (that also aims to challenge the traditions a little bit).</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/on-the-annunciation-and-the-incarnation" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/on-the-annunciation-and-the-incarnation"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/on-the</span><span class="invisible">-annunciation-and-the-incarnation</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/mary/" rel="tag">#Mary</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/catholic/" rel="tag">#Catholic</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a></p>
