This time it’s Jane’s jungle Earlier this month, NYC’s largest Gothic cathedral celebrated the annual feast day of St. Francis of Assisi and his ancient Blessing of the Animals.
For 11 years, until the pandemic, I hosted a similar animal’s holiday at St. John the Divine. We loved all — the young, babies, healthy, strays, police dogs, the sick, frail, old, rescues, a frog, fish in containers, turtles, horses outside, sheep, pigs, cows, camels, donkeys, chickens, goats.
Even a choir and a rabbi for the Jewish animals. Police rerouted traffic. I remember His Eminence Cardinal Dolan flat on the floor petting a Chihuahua — while a Great Dane awaited his turn.
We had prayers, choir, music, scripture, photographers, reporters, clean-up people. Approximately 2,000 New Yorkers and their furry, feathered, scaly family members.
Now at Amsterdam and 110th. Jane Fonda chatted with the Cathedral’s first-ever female dean. Fonda, after the Procession of the Animals, headed to Harlem for fried chicken and collard greens at Melba’s.

Well, well, well, whaddya know....took a look...and... Church of Laodicea...
The Leadership Journey of The Very Rev. Winnie Varghese and Union’s Enduring Commitment to LGBTQ+ Justice
“When Union trustee, The Very Rev. Winnie Varghese ’99 was announced as the 12th Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in April of this year, it marked a deeply significant moment in the life of the Episcopal Church and the broader faith community. HER APPOINTMENT AS AN OUT QUEER WOMAN of Indian descent to one of the most visible and historic pulpits in the country.”
“Her journey to the Cathedral began decades earlier at Union Theological Seminary, where she arrived in 1996 during a tumultuous period for LGBTQ+ people in the church.”
“These were not merely scholars; they were ARCHITECTS OF LIBERATION THEOLOGY, voices that dared to claim that God sides with the oppressed, and that QUEERNESS, Blackness, womanhood, and every marginalized identity carry the imprint of the divine.”
“of challenging the norms of power, tradition, and exclusion—has defined Union’s legacy for generations. It is a place where LGBTQ+ students have not only been welcomed but empowered, and propelled to lead.”
“This PRIDE Month, we honor the leaders like Dean Varghese who have helped shape a more just, inclusive, and liberating church. And we recommit ourselves to ensuring that Union will always be a place where LGBTQ+ people are not only welcomed, but empowered to lead.”
“LIBERATION THEOLOGY” 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️🤦😲😲😧🤯😕
I wonder if I can get four fried chickens and a Coke.
And some white bread, toasted.
You can’t have Matt Guitar 🎸 Murphy!!
Was she in no ways tahred?
Barbarella...Queen of the Galaxy!
should have been executed years ago. She’d’ve been made a martyr, but at least she’d be a dead martyr.
Did she bring her hot sauce?
No but she should be tarred
Many many years ago (probably the 1980s) I attended a service at that cathedral. My minivan was parked beside it on the street and got broken into with the passenger side window smashed. Needless to say a traumatic moment. Reported to the local police station precinct and then had to find a place for repair which wasn’t easy on a Sunday. Not exactly a happy memory. I did learn never to park on a Manhattan street ever again though.
Why does anyone even care what that washed up aged out hippie thinks or does any more?
How is this news????
Apostasy
Is Harlem fried chicken just Southern fried chicken?
Does she miss Charlie’s Vienna sausage she had in the anti-aircraft gun pits?
That’s awful 😞
Sorry for your troubles
(Apostasy)
Absolutely
As prophesied
Jane Fonda should have been Hanged for treason sixty years ago...
