And don’t get me started on the provenance, date, audience, and occasion of Romans. 😹😹😹 don’t even get me started on the provenance, date, audience, and occasion of Romans.

From their point of view, they probably see CwoB in line with the person of Christ because they see it as an act of radical inclusion following Jesus’s example in the Gospels. I would disagree and say this is shortsighted. But the priest is not consciously trying to be heretical

Who is David Earl Williams III and why does he appear in my notifications on Facebook every single day

So now I’m thinking phones may be both one cause of youth alienation and also a symptom of increasing parental paranoia. We stopped letting kids play outside but apparently now, stopped letting them go anywhere at all?

Today I was talking to a high school student about screen time. She said she has 8+ hours a day and so does all her friends. But she said, what else would I do after finishing my homework? I said go hang out with friends? And she said, “My parents would go crazy if I did that.”

Can you say more about why this feels like a personal "betrayal" to you? I also think CwoB is a mistake and would undermine our sacramental theology but if someone did that I would not feel like it was targeted at me

I thought this would be funny but Instagram is a tough crowd

This is making several assumptions about bilingualism and about the vorlage of the LXX variant that I do not think we can actually know, but the evidence may lean against the impossibility of this

(I cannot watch the video right now but) this does not seem like a plausible argument against the historicity of the speeches in Acts. If the second century Acts could make this grammatical mistake, then there is no real reason that James couldn’t have made it a hundred years earlier.

I lived in Australia in the late 2010s and it was funny to watch right-wing media there try to import the American idea that the average person on the street should care what college kids are saying or doing.

Normal people were baffled by the concept.

I am reading a book with this as a main theme right now (by the unfortunately similarly named Vijay Prashad)

He was remarkable in Adolescence ep 3

we are having a movie sing-along at the parish later this month 😇

What would my priest more likely murder me for: Palm Sunday choir anthem of Hosanna (Hillsong) or Palm Sunday choir anthem of Hosanna (Jesus Christ Superstar)

I do believe in historical criticism of the Bible, it’s not that the method is wrong, it’s that the Significance of the Bible is not there but in the Spirit using it to prompt us to see our world today through Jesus Christ’s revelation of God

So many things are like this

This is basically my view at this point

Trust me, as a youth pastor, the thin crust from Little Caesars is better than the regular crust

Didn't think my anti-gambling position could get any stronger...

Last month I directed a short musical adaptation of SALTBLOOD, the novel about Mary Read and Anne Bonny, transmasc he/him lesbian pirates, and this was the flag we went with:

Someone needs to write a left-mainline version of Do Hard Things

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

You can sort by "shuffle" and it will display fifty random films. I do that and then watch one of the first five it displays

anyone who supports this is my enemy

The strat is that that church wouldn’t die, but all the Spongite Boomer churches would, leaving them with the bag. Unfortunately this will not happen because the Spong generation, while dying, is more than being replaced by Gay Evangelicals &co flooding into the mainline.

Our two options are Medicare for All or bringing back Clerical Celibacy so that we don’t have to pay the premium for full-family insurance (I’m joking but also not)

I mean maybe there is ghost money somewhere (in the vault at Trinity Wall Street…) but over here in the normal world we are not going to survive given the shrinking numbers and ever rising Cost Disease for salary and health insurance costs for clergy and labor costs for building upkeep
