While I do not believe Sunday is the sabbath, nature reveals that all men must rest from their temporal callings and set aside time to gather publicly to receive God’s gifts and to praise His great name. Though the third commandment deals with more than the actions of a single…

What online Catholics think CofE churches look like 👀

Holding our 11:00 service in the Great Hall of St Bartholomew’s Hospital to give thanks for its safe restoration and… this is quite the devotional focus!

A hill I will die on is that 'high church' and 'Anglo-Catholic' are absolutely *not* synonyms. Indeed, Anglo-Catholic notions that the CofE is somehow a branch of the RC Church are utterly antithetical to high church Anglicanism

I was today years old when I learned there are female evangelicals who are actively pushing back against the idea that the vast majority of men should get married and have children. Really makes a chart like this make sense.

Is there a term for the opposite of a Chesterton’s fence? Something people tore down for a reason but which the youth try to reinvent because they forget that it sucked, actually?

Both/And not Either/Or

I'm interacting with people across ACNA who are arriving at one of two divergent viewpoints on the current crises: 1) The ACNA's structures are broken and cannot be trusted -OR- 2) There is conspiracy against ACNA intended to sink the denomination.

Many churches will be hearing this passage this weekend. Don't be confused, though. You're not allowed to marry your brother's widow. To even think of such a thing is evil and disgusting.

Earlier this month, someone shouted, “Go Cubs!” to Pope Leo. The world's most famous @WhiteSox fan smiled and replied in Spanish: “They lost!”

I need to emphasize that Awa III is also American and also born in Chicago. This was done 100% on purpose

The head of the Assyrian Church of the East “accidentally” gave Pope Leo XIV a Cubs jersey, and he doesn’t look happy about it.

Women really have been doing this since the dawn of time

A fourth-century homeowner commissioned this simple mosaic, listing inside a laurel wreath all that mattered to them: ‘Health, Life, Joy, Peace, Good Cheer, Hope!’ (Υγεία, Ζωή, Χαρά, Ειρήνη, Ευθυμία, Ελπίδα!) From Halicarnassus (modern Bodrum), Turkey

“Türkiye”. Why do we do this but not, say, Deutschland or Roma?

I've just agreed a deal with Türkiye to secure 20,000 British jobs across the UK.

Here's another map that should make motivations clearer. Witch trials primarily took place in times and places marked by religious competition for worshipper market share.

Worth noting that the Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims translation and the Puritan Geneva Bible both have “him that pisseth against the wall”. Itʼs the modern translations that get squeamish about the Hebrew turn of phrase and replace it with “every male”. Accurate but sanitized.

Philip Schaff thinks one of the reasons Muslims overtook the East was judgement upon the Christians giving into iconography and images, philosophical speculation as opposed to true worship. I think he was right.

Nations, just like souls, are summoned, tested, then set aside when their purpose is fulfilled. If that feels uncomfortable, perhaps it should. It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. To admit Providence governs history is not arrogance, but humility.

As far as I'm aware, the first founder to have much exposure intellectually to Islam was Jefferson who procured a Koran because he couldn't believe a religion could be so ridiculous and immoral, so being a man of the Enlightenment, he decided to read it for himself. Then, he went…
