More Than a Flag: What the Disability Pride Flag Can Teach the Church
Spend enough time in Episcopal churches, and you begin to notice the flags. Many of our churches display the Episcopal Church flag and the American flag in the nave. Historic parishes often have others as well. My own parish, a church that has stood for more than 300 years, displays both the flag of the… -
A Prayer For Disability Pride Month 2026
Gracious God, You formed each of us in your image, delighting in the beauty and diversity of your creation. No two lives are the same, yet each one reflects your love, your creativity, and your grace. As we observe Disability Pride Month, free us from the temptation to see disability through the eyes of limitation… -
Every Body Sacred: Welcoming Disability Pride Month
As June comes to a close, many Episcopal churches have spent the past month celebrating and honoring our LGBTQIA+ siblings. We have flown rainbow flags, prayed for justice, remembered those who have fought for equality, and recommitted ourselves to creating churches where every person knows they are loved by God. Now, as we welcome July,… -

Even From the Cross: A Mother’s Day Reflection on Love and Family
Yesterday, I had my last class at Fordham University for a certificate I’ve been working on all year in Spiritual Direction. If that phrase—spiritual direction—sounds unfamiliar, it simply means walking alongside someone as they pay attention to God’s presence in their life. It’s not about giving advice so much as it is about listening—deeply—to where… -

More Than a Symbol: Autism, Neurodiversity, and Who Gets to Decide
Symbols are powerful things. They show up everywhere! You can find them on T-shirts, in church bulletins, on social media posts, and in awareness campaigns. Each symbol tries to say something meaningful in a single image. They help us build identity, create a sense of belonging, and sometimes even explain how we understand the world.… -
Seeing the World Differently: Autism, Neurodiversity, and Belonging
April is Autism Awareness Month, and every year I find myself coming back to the same thought: Awareness is a start, but it’s not the end. Because if we’re being honest, awareness is easy. It’s a word we can say, a post we can share, a ribbon we can wear. But awareness doesn’t always change… -

In a world that often expects sameness,help us honor difference. For those who are autistic and neurodivergent,remind them they are fully known, fully loved, and fully welcome—just as they are.

The Garden of the Episcopal Church
There is something deeply comforting about thinking of the Episcopal Church as a garden. Not a perfectly manicured one, where every plant is trimmed to the same height and every flower blooms on schedule, but a living, breathing garden. One that is sometimes wild, sometimes quiet, sometimes overflowing with color, and sometimes resting beneath the…
