AKMA is a priest, lecturer (New Test., Greek, Early Church, Crit Theory), writer, gamer; Glasgow, Oxford, now parish ministry in Abingdon-on-Thames. Will not try [in vain?] to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever. http://akma.disseminary.org
1. Fresh-baked bread

Crumb? Grinning?
It’s like the ending of a suspense film, when everyone is settling into their new, post-conflict, domestic comfort… and then the villain reappears and is more dangerous than ever
Indeed, Mamdani’s Islam displays what a broad, deep, historic expression of Muslim faith looks like. It makes more sense to say that Mamdani’s gentle mutualism and social generosity exemplify the intrinsic character of Islam than to associate Islam with Salafi jihadists.
Archbishop Sarah does well to begin her ministry with a walking pilgrimage from her former See of London to her new gaff in Canterbury — but advertising that it will be ‘deeply humbling’ seems misjudged. Humility doesn’t determine its effects in advance; it affects us precisely in its unexpectedness
Two weeks until No Kings III !!! Let's make this the largest national rally ever to preserve democracy and end illegal wars, illegal tariffs, and illegal detention.
‘What does it say in the rubrics?’
Autograph version of any of the NT texts
The prior, Fr Richard, just addressed our NT Seminar (at least the second time, he having previously given a paper on Hebrews about s Ben years ago)
Let me get this straight: it’s a sign of true British identity to emigrate to avoid paying taxes to the British government, and it’s a sign of being anti-British to enforce British tax laws?
May light perpetual shine upon them.
Sorry, habe gerade diesen Job gefunden und musste ihn einfach teilen. Was für ein cooles Projekt. 5 Jahre ethnografische Forschung zu Katzen, Home Base auf Teneriffa(?).

Jesus said ‘By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you hate other people.’
The only way to improve it would be if he called on WWF ‘fighters’
Like ‘Thanks, boss, no one ever taught us how to fight before.’
I’m not sure I e ever sympathised with FBI agents before, but man, it must be demoralising to work for this DoJ…
Might be a little imprudent to bring a detective into the household, even though there’s obviously no evidence connecting you to mysterious air hijackers
Is big job. No one can do.
There are very few things from my 1980s teenage years that continue to provide me undiluted geek delight. The final credits scene from 'Buckaroo Banzai' is one of them. The energy of the cast (little Damon Hines leading the charge), the costumes by Aggie Guerard Rodgers! youtu.be/MAgnTREVCXk?...
And the pitch-perfect theme music!
Specially in a field such as yours, it’s both (a) hard to miss the relevant literature and (b) easy for an outsider to not know where to look or how to weigh the scholarship
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
Right I know this is shocking, but guess what? The Oxford Congestion Charge is seeing LESS congestion and MORE people taking the bus. Try this one simple trick etc etc.

I’m old and hard of hearing—surely you didn’t say ‘cardboard’?!
Looking ahead to the possibility of home reno, your example will serve as a cautionary reminder
