I love Rowan’s observation that there are only three humans named in the Creed: Jesus, Mary, and Pilate. “That is Jesus; the one who says ‘yes’ to him; and the one who says ‘no’ to him.” We all live between these poles, swinging towards a “deeper ‘yes’ or towards a deeper ‘no.’”

One piece of advice I would give to all parish priests: Become a character in the neighborhood. This is 90% showing up, 8% prayerful observance, and 2% knowing when/how to speak. Pick a spot and become a regular. Show up at the same day/time with no agenda and see what happens.

Seems safe to say that progressive Christianity has become what it most despised: judgemental, unforgiving, presuming guilt, lacking mercy, zero-sum, court of public opinion, straw-manning,etc. An inverted gospel of Bad News. It’s no prettier than when the Fundies were doing it.

Ordination is not an elevation but a condescension. One is ordained not to rule but to serve. Ordination is the (often painful, often joyful) journey of learning to give one’s life away. The “higher” one goes the deeper the call to service.
