What is the mission of the church-wide structure? Maybe the fact that we call this thing by an unwieldy name like “the church-wide structure” is some sort of clue that we have no idea what this thing is or what it’s supposed to be doing. According to its website, the Five Marks of Mission are:. About the mission of the churc...

Rev Miranda’s Blog. They all believe the signs are on the street. Some reflections from a rookie deputy…. June 29, 2015. General Convention is big, but it’s not that big. It’s small enough that one powerfully-stated two-minute statement can (sometimes) have an impact. Which is terrifying, because it leaves me wondering whether, for every initiative or resolution that I like and that seems ill-fated, I could have been that voice,. There is a lot going on – and there is no master calendar. You ha...Sometim...

Rev Miranda’s Blog. They all believe the signs are on the street. In which she ponders the mystery of holy joy. March 7, 2016. A few months ago I read this piece on impostor syndrome. And thought, I can really relate to that. Sometimes the stuff people tell me they appreciate or admire about my work, my ministry, whatever, is stuff I really worked hard on; but sometimes, too, it’s stuff that came so easily to me that my reaction is, “what, THAT? And, perhaps, not so easily to others –. I’m writing ...

Rev Miranda’s Blog. They all believe the signs are on the street. In which she strives to opine on #Primates2016. January 16, 2016. But two of my kind and faithful friends have messaged me this afternoon asking me for thoughts. I reckoned the least I could do is to gather in one place the thoughts I’ve already shared in various Facebook threads. Here was my initial Facebook post as the news of the Primates’ sanctions against TEC was breaking. 8220;Is it sad? Sure, a little. Is it unexpected? Well, who ca...

Rev Miranda’s Blog. They all believe the signs are on the street. In which she reflects on a Candidate for Presiding Bishop. June 18, 2015. I’d like to share a few words about the Rt. Rev.

However, I’ve seen precious few folks saying, Bishop Douglas would make such a great Presiding Bishop! I first met Ian w...
