With much gratitude to the Moderators and Vice Moderators of General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church (USA), here is the recording of "Seven Last Words: A Good Friday Service" from Friday, April 2, 2021. youtu.be/2d1ShVasowY #PCUSA #GoodFriday

From death comes resurrection and new life. Easter joy and hope abound on this day!

I’m pretty excited about facing burnout head on with church folx. If you’re trying to figure out how to keep going, join Shani McIlwain and I for honest conversation to build your resiliency.

I didn’t know my brain could get this tired.

"God is a becoming....To be made is to be unmade at the same moment." Bayo Akomolafe #FTEforum21

"If the image of God has been captured by colonial enterprises, then we need to become fugitives." Bayo Akomolafe #FTEforum21

"In order to find me, you need to lose your way." Bayo Akomolafe #FTEforum21

"It is not new that the world is being broken over and over again. We constantly have to move toward refraction." #FTEforum21

We cannot hear of power as dominance. Bayo Akomolafe #FTEforum21

Casual racism is still racist. Casual sexism is still sexist. Casual ablism is still ablist. Casual homophobia is still homophobic. Casual transphobia is still transphobic. Microaggressions are still aggressions. The social/cultural tax payed just to survive is exhausting.

Typically voting for GA includes a breakdown between ruling elder and teaching elder commissioners. Is there a reason that only advisory delegates are differentiated? #ga225 #pcusa

The call in this work is to go far together. #ga225

Representation isn’t something to overcome or accommodate. Its not a barrier or a stumbling block. It’s an acknowledgement and celebration of who we are. #GA225

Just again throwing out there that at assemblies prior to 2020, there would have been 122 YAADs advising commissioners on these important issues rather than 22. #GA225

Just saw the time. While trying to focus on #GA225, I gave my toddler an ice cream come at 7:30. There goes bedtime! Let’s see how that 8:30 pm start goes for me…

It takes a village to make this happen. I remember the 221st GA and how everyone behind the scenes and those of us on the platform all started to feel like family.Thank you to EVERYONE who made #GA225 possible and to each person serving as a commissioner and advisory delegate.
