A month ago, my mother, Phyllis H. Duin, passed into eternity. I miss you so much! obituaries.seattletimes.com/obituary/phyll…


After @Anglican Bishop David Parsons retired a year ago from 12 years of shepherding the Diocese of the Arctic and 36 years of Arctic ministry in Canada, he was quickly treated like a non-person. I looked into this for @VirtueOnline: tinyurl.com/3bjypdus


Just posted this essay in @Medium about my Halloween visit to Mitchell, Ore. and Spoke'n Hostel for what was a great Neighborhood Night a year ago. Would that more Oregonians would go there: medium.com/@julia.c.duin/…


My piece on the enjoyable glamping and stargazing I got to do at Huttopia Wine Country's place in Lake County, just north of Napa Valley just got published by @matadornetwork. Don't think we'll be returning to tents any time soon. shorturl.at/FHLyd.

Okay I cannot stop laughing at this one


Just to be clear to all listening in on #charliekirk funeral : God also treasures the childless (Ps 113.9) and the unmarried (1 Cor. 7) even though it doesn’t sound that way listening to certain speakers today.


My newest: The other Greenland that no one wants to see medium.com/p/the-other-gr…


Am happy to post my latest @SeattleTimes travel story on Strathcona, the Canadian provincial park no one's ever heard of - and a paradise to visit. tinyurl.com/3mepbs4m


There is nothing like a gorgeous sunny day @TheCRGorge hiking Catherine Creek with Mt. Hood glistening in the distance (off camera). 61 degrees. Eat your hearts out.

Enjoy my story about the amazing Bishop David Parsons and his farewell trip to the world's largest Anglican diocese, part of @generalsynod on @RNS: religionnews.com/2025/04/02/a-b…


Am grateful for today's court decision in favor of Newsweek and myself in the three-year legal battle involving a libel suit lobbed against us by the Satanic Temple. Other journalists and @CJR and @Poynter: Could have used more help and support. It could be you next.

Always happy to point out more hikes in lovely central Oregon in my piece for WTA_hikers magazine. tinyurl.com/4yrcjbax. #TravelOregon


Russia Is Only Winning Inside Trump’s Head - As Russians will tell you, the reality on the ground looks very, very different. Interesting stuff here. foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/10/tru…


My profile of this amazing hostel/church in remote Mitchell, Oregon, which has been cited for excellence by @TravelOregon via 2 Oregon governor's awards, ran today in@ReligionMag. The church is part of the Assembly of God. tinyurl.com/yc34ymce


Two fascinating details about the clergy lineup @TrumpInaugural next Monday: @PaulaWhite will not be praying and for the first time an imam will be praying. Say what you want about Trump, but he's the first president to have an Islamic prayer at his swearing-in.


I've been following the most controversial #Anglican bishop in @generalsynod Canada around the near-Arctic this past week as he prepares to retire; the churches Up Here in #Nunavik are filled with the young; too few clergy are available, Bp David Parsons says.

For those of you who haven’t heard, we in the Seattle area, especially here in Issaquah have been devastated by a windstorm. Two nights so far of no electricity. #Freezing.

Newsrooms: Trump takes office in 104 days. If you haven't started scouting for a good religion reporter yet, then you're already behind on one of the biggest stories of the next decade.


Threw this together for @reachjulieroys after I saw @CharlesShamp tweeting that he'd correctly prophesied a Trump victory and @che_ahn's "apostolic declaration" of a Trump win. Reporting on the prophets never disappoints. tinyurl.com/39bjcdwv
