Imagine thinking that holding to a conviction that God's will to save, and His justice are not only compatible but one and the same such that He will punish evil and save all to satisfy it, is besmirching His Most High Name. ⚓ Couldn't be me.

This seems to go nicely with my results as a Prayerbook or "Seersucker" Low Churchman.

In his most recent book, 'Discovering Christianity: A Guide for the Curious', Rowan Williams points to Calvin as an example of a theologian who demonstrates "the real meaning of tradition in the life of the Church".

"This vision of God’s kingdom, this new reality, is the one to which we Christians are pledged in our baptism above any political preference or policy" - I am trying to recall the last time TEC publicly disagreed with a progressive policy position ...

Just have to correct this quote. She did not say "people"; she said "There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children. . ."
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

TEC has a habit of framing things in the language of Human Resources and of Moral Therapeutic Deism.
It needs to stop.

From Bishop Budde's sermon yesterday. Entirely absent was any recognition that it is legitimate to control immigration and enforce immigration law. And this is the problem - the assumption that theology offers clear, straightforward answers on matters of disputed 1/2

I am happy to report another wonderful experience at Grace Episcopal Church (established 1697). The Rector even wears the Anglican traditional choir dress as officiant at the Rite I Eucharist! So splendid to see in a colonial parish. ⚓

This is because they are different religions, even though the mainline apparatchiks don’t know this.
Being politically liberal and being highly religious are just not compatible.
Among white people who never attend:
45% are liberal.
Among weekly+ attenders:
11% are liberal.
That same pattern is there for every single racial group.

Unpopular opinion in my Church but I am very convinced that capital punishment aka the death penalty is not immoral or unethical per se. The argument against it based on the Imago Dei is the exact opposite of what scripture says in Genesis 9:6.

Y'all aren't ready for the conversation about how the Scottish liturgy of 1637 conformed to the Scots Confession. Or how American adoption of it for use in the 1789 BCP presupposed it's compatibility with the 39 Articles and theology of the English Prayer Book tradition. ⚓

Baptism as the gateway to Covenant membership and the sacramental life isn't a "human qualification". It is God's design. As Richard Hooker taught in Bk 5 "No man receives Eucharist before baptism, because no dead thing is capable of nourishment. That which grows must necessarily first live." ⚓

The people Jesus shares table fellowship with are first called to follow Jesus or show significant repentance of who they were and how they lived among the people. We also note whose table they are at, Jesus is going to eat with these outcasts and sinners at their tables.
