Hey, folks,

I am going to be trying to drive some traffic towards here in the coming days. Who knows if it'll work, but I'm going to be requesting on the subreddit that some folks come check this out, and maybe we can get this going. I'd love to see an Episcopal presence on the fediverse. Christianity is often represented only by those that have the loudest (and often most angry and unChristlike voices), and specifically on the fediverse it seems to unrepresented at all. We have an opportunity to show what Christianity can be in an environment not yet overrun by those who would shout over us and push agendas contrary to our understanding of the gospel. Please consider engaging, creating posts, commenting, talking about the daily office, whatever you like.

Thank y'all

Wonderful! Keep your head up if my attempt to do this when I was Catholic showed me anything, Is that Faith of any sort being expressed in the Fediverse hardens many hearts and leads to a lack of charity(more so then other plateforms). Dont let it discourage you. Thank you for getting this started!

I get it. There has been so much harm done by religious institutions, religious people, I cannot blame people for making that connection and starting from a point of distrust. It's our job to represent our communities better, and to help change hearts and minds. But yeah, I imagine a hard row to hoe, to be honest.
