Doing prophetic theology after empire: on the Isaiah readings at Sixth Hour for the Fast

Last updated on: April 19, 2019 at 2:19 pm By Justin Tse

Here in Chicago, we are on the Old Calendar. Seeing the Good Friday posts from our New Calendar sisters and brothers, we have a glimpse of what we look forward to next week for Great and Holy Week. To me, there is nothing sad or even awkward about this arrangement, and while some have observed to me that I ‘straddle’ two calendars, the truth is that I have become, over time, very comfortable with the one that I am on....

Fasting is about justice: today’s Sixth Hour reading

Last updated on: April 17, 2019 at 10:08 am By Justin Tse

As the Great Fast winds down on this Wednesday of its Sixth Week (we are a week behind our sisters and brothers on the New Calendar), we are reminded of why we have fasted in today’s Sixth Hour reading from the Prophecy of Isaiah. It’s a direct follow-up to our Chicago mission group’s recent reflections on why we are called St Mary of Egypt Social Justice Fellowship. I quote it in full: Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up...

‘She’s relatable’: on St Mary of Egypt Social Justice Fellowship

Last updated on: April 15, 2019 at 9:26 pm By Justin Tse

A few weeks ago, those of us who compose our mission group in Chicago, St Mary of Egypt Social Justice Fellowship, were talking about sainthood. I’m not perfect enough to be a saint, one of us said, and our leader, the inimitable Julian Hayda, replied, Well, that’s why we are named after St Mary of Egypt. The point of sainthood, he reminded us, is that we are not perfect. Anyone who ever became holy has come out of a life of sin,... Read more

On the perversion of the eucharistic body: the pornographic society in Benedict XVI’s letter on sex abuse

Last updated on: April 12, 2019 at 2:30 pm By Justin Tse

It goes without saying that Benedict XVI’s recently published letter on sex abuse is terrible. I will also leave an obligatory note here about how I have liked Ratzinger’s writings (even as a Protestant), have tweeted my amazement at them, and have read enough people couching their critique of the former pontiff as loving fanboys disappointed in their master that I will do nothing of the sort here. The letter stands or falls on its merits alone, and there are... Read more

‘Third World Studies questions the very social formations that enable the study of religion’: with Melissa Borja on the Anxious Bench

Last updated on: April 4, 2019 at 8:22 pm By Justin Tse

Over at The Anxious Bench on one of our sister channels on Patheos, my friend and colleague Melissa Borja, a historian of race and religion in America at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has an interview with four of us, her colleagues in this field, about the impact of ethnic studies on religious studies. She asked us about it in the context of the fiftieth anniversary of the Third World Liberation Front strikes in the Bay Area in 1969, which were... Read more

Mindy’s mystagogy: learning the theology of the body through Melinda Selmys

Last updated on: April 1, 2019 at 10:22 am By Justin Tse

When I was in my catechumenate, folks at the temple I was at were all abuzz about Melinda Selmys’s book Sexual Authenticity. At the time, a number of the people attending could have been described as evangeliCatholic, sisters and brothers from the Latin Church who took their faith as seriously and pietistically as evangelicals and often hung out with their Protestant counterparts to boot. As it was, Theology of the Body was making another round, and was described as amazing, although everybody there... Read more

Psychic connections are neither here nor there: on Susan Howatch and spiritual direction

Last updated on: March 29, 2019 at 9:34 am By Justin Tse

I first got the idea that I should receive spiritual direction around the time I was fifteen. I don’t think I really have ever publicly revealed this until last week, but I had read about it in Susan Howatch’s Church of England series, which had been recommended to my father in a conservative Baptist seminary’s Doctor of Ministry course on pastoral spirituality. Curious about what was advertised as a trashy exploration of the sex lives of Anglican clergy, I dove into the... Read more

Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum: on the crisis of my Annunciation spirituality

Last updated on: March 27, 2019 at 12:11 am By Justin Tse

I write these thoughts on the occasion of the Feast of the Annunciation on the New Calendar, in which kairotic time zone I am currently present. During my flirtation with the Latin Church, I would pray the Angelus every noon. Or almost every noon. Maybe it was two or three days a week. Maybe less. The point is that it was regular, at a time before I had encountered the Kyivan Church. I had learned about it like every Protestant... Read more

‘They are us’: on having no words on Christchurch, Ethiopian Airlines, and the ecological crisis

Last updated on: March 18, 2019 at 9:48 pm By Justin Tse

I have been at a loss for words about the deaths of so many in the last week. Earlier in the week, on Sunday, February 10, a Boeing 737 Max 8 flown by Ethiopian Airlines was the second of such planes to crash in five months. I know people who knew people among the 157 people killed: an African academic champion of young scholars and writers, environmental activists, theologians, among a number of other people. Then on Friday, February 15,... Read more

Please do not ask me about Jung: for the Sundays of Orthodoxy and Gregory Palamas

Last updated on: March 17, 2019 at 6:31 pm By Justin Tse

This post, written on the Sunday of Orthodoxy on the Old Calendar and of Gregory Palamas on the New, is occasioned by the death of Fr Myron Panchuk and his burial beneath a stone with the same inscription that sat above the doorway of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s home: Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit. I have no idea what I think about Carl Jung. Please do not ask me about him. It’s like asking me about what I think... Read more
