Now for some housekeeping.

Priority # 1: tag your tweets.
Well, priority #1 is actually enjoy yourself. But tagging is a solid #2.

I'll post prompts throughout the morning in this #BCPchat thread (pinned on my profile).
Each prompt will start with "P+number".
(P1, P2, P3, etc.)
You can respond with your "A+number" answer.
(A1, A2, A3)
Plus the hashtag. Gotta use that hashtag.

Not everyone has the same religious background.
Some of us are new Episcopalians.
Some of us are BCP pro's.
You're invited to respond to one another with openness & a willingness to listen & learn.
May we show one another kindness & compassion.

Now that the housekeeping is taken care of, let's start this off with prayer...
Me: The Lord be with you.
𝗬’𝗮𝗹𝗹: 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
Me: Let us pray...

Living, liberating & life-giving God, whose blessed Son first taught us how to pray and invited us into life everlasting; inspire the words of every #BCPchat tweet, that our prayer life may ever deepen in your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Alright! Let's do this!
@haligweorc offers 2 ways of talking about the Christian year:
1. Its connection to doctrine
2. Its connection w/our emotion
Let's 1st dig into doctrine for #BCPchat's P1.

FIRST PROMPT
P1: What is your relationship to the creeds? Personally & in your formative religious tradition?
And a followup, what do you think are the consequences of understanding the creeds as, in @haligweorc's words, "a set of interpretive boundaries" (66)?

P1.2
"Quite simply, one aspect of the Christian year is that it is a temporal embodiment of the interpretive doctrines of the creed. Almost every line of the creeds has a corresponding feast or fast."
Was this an *aha* moment for you, or had you forged that connection?

Love this #BCPchat!
In light of today's news, feel free to engage as is best for you.
Now that we've dug a bit into the creeds, let's shift with @haligweorc to the seasons & Christian affections. Look at the distinction he makes between emotions and affections (pg 69).

P2 If the Christian affections are like "emotional habits, patterns of feelings that we choose and cultivate" (69), how has your engagement with liturgy or the BCP shaped your experience of those affections?
Note the affections listed at the bottom of that page.

Friends, in light of today's news I propose a slight change to plans for #BCPchat.
I propose this: Rather than continuing with more prompts, we open it up to be whatever you need it to be. You offer up your questions & points of interest about Ch. 2.
How does that sound?
