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.

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)

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"
