nostr:npub17s40gkxetfugxnemt7eg9qchmw5uwf6ud6tl95vtxag2v36zdkrshdvj8f I had a teacher at Princeton who joked that, if he had his way, he would substitute the MDiv for clergy candidates for 3 years of psychoanalysis!

nostr:npub17s40gkxetfugxnemt7eg9qchmw5uwf6ud6tl95vtxag2v36zdkrshdvj8f we will have to mount a campaign against it! That's an unacceptable use of the church's resources

nostr:npub1ex328w5w0hjweznw8t6f9epk5w5xy4ak6kzyc7y93lfjtelxuymsk9c58j it's such nonsense that varies so much day by day and context by context, and yet we keep using it. sigh. we use it in the church too. bonkers when there are better ways.
