In solidarity with Calgary’s LGBTQ+ community, a local Unitarian church will celebrate Easter with a drag show in their Sunday service. The “Drag Me to Church” service will coincide with Easter Sunday and the International Trans Day of Visibility, a day recognizing the contributions of trans people as the challenges they still face. The church service will also protest the introduction of legislation threatening the rights of transgender youth in the conservative governmental province of Alberta, Canada. “No matter what tradition you’re from, I guarantee you that you will have people in your community who identify on the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum — whether they are free to say it or not,” the Rev. Samaya Oakley, the minister of the Calgary Unitarians, told the Edmonton Journal. “If we are truly people who believe in the goodness and the inherent love that exists in this world, then we would extend that to people on that spectrum.”

It's so funny that we call pro lgbt, anti capitalist, anti-war Christianity "progressive Christianity." Personally, for me, it's literally just following the original scripture.

because lent is a time of solemnity rather than rejoicing we don't say alleluia at the parts of the church service where we normally would. so when the priest blesses the sacrament during ordinary time or holidays she says "alleluia, christ our passover is sacrificed for us" and the people respond "therefore let us keep the feast, alleluia." but during lent (and advent) she just says "christ our passover is sacrificed for us" and the people say "therefore let us keep the feast." but from reflex or because they forgot you can often hear people start to say "alleluia" when they're not supposed to
so last sunday was palm sunday and when we all said "therefore let us keep the feast" a lone voice said "allelu--" and broke off. and the priest looked up from the bread and wine and smiled and stage whispered conspiratorially "next week"

hey girl,
respect yourself enough to walk away. go where you are loved, where you are cherished. go to people that wouldn’t even allow you to walk away in the first place.
you are being treated less than your value when you were out of their price range when you met them. something that is valuable would be protected and claimed. you never leave your valuables out where they can be taken. and trust me, they know you’re valuable.
they’re breaking your heart to make you question your value. they’re treating you like trash when they’d never accept that same treatment. they’re building you up, and breaking you down. meanwhile, they’re questioning their own self worth and self concept. it’s all a projection.
and come on, do you really think he is conveniently hurting you or ignoring you because he’s simply misguided or avoidant? no, he just isn’t a real man. stop making excuses for him.
when he turned his back on you, he made the decision to go towards a low value lifestyle. it’s easier to stay the same, than have a woman who will push him to grow. you can check majority of the boxes, but if he isn’t ready for you and doesn’t want to be, he will never be ready. why wait on a message that will never come?
y’all have to remember people make conscious decisions in the long run regarding who they will deal with, and who they won’t. y’all also have to remember if someone loves you enough, they WILL do their damndest to change. regardless of external factors. if he respected the fact that the dynamic is an honor, a privilege, a blessing, he would do anything to keep it. nothing would stop him.
if you were valued in this connection, you’d know it. walk away. let God use you as a lesson of how you never know what you have until it’s gone. never let anyone fumble you more than once.
keep praying, keep trying, keep staying pure hearted and genuine. be open to change and take this time to grow deeper in your spirituality. choose God because God chose you first. don’t ever let anyone treat you less than what GOD would treat you. you are worth more. choose yourself. and above all, never let anyone tell you that you aren’t worthy of being chosen.

Now is a good time to remember that Jesus went through all that horrific agony for everyone, including the people we think are annoying and stupid and mean
Dude yes, this is really important for Holy Week. Everyone, keep this in mind when we celebrate Easter in a few days with our loved ones who may or may not get on our nerves (and if you don't have anyone to celebrate with 🫂 I'm sorry and I love you, you'll be in my heart and my prayers that day)
