ladies and gentlemen, i give you my fellow members of TEC. though one wonders why people who care nothing for their baptismal covenant even bother staying in the church.

it's none of the above, it's just tabloids sensationalizing things. it's not especially hot relative to this time of year by UK standards.

Resolution from the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth (ACNA) calling for full communion within the Anglican Church in North America

my brother in christ we've had diocesan bishops who deny the virgin birth and the resurrection and this started before even the continuum split off, let alone ACNA.
you're just gonna have to roll with these punches. welcome to anglicanism.
auden's rant to his rector opposing liturgical reform is well-known (), but less well-known is what that parish is like these days. being grumpy, it seems, isn't quite enough.
In 1968 W.H. Auden flew from England to the US to sit on a committee devoted to making liturgy more accessible to modern congregations. He observed that “a demand for liturgical change came not from the laity…but from priests hoping to attract the young by looking trendy.”

CS is likely in expectation a net negative due to opportunity cost. a typical new grad can get to the same place as a typical new PhD within a year or two in industry. in the time it takes to get the PhD the undergrad will be a career rung ahead of where the PhD starts.
the one-year lectionary is in fact not great as someone's only exposure to scripture – but the three-year lectionary isn't all that better, anyway.
the answer is simple, though. just... read the bible!

i don't think it's the same kind of thing. GRRM's question here just reflects historical illiteracy – tolkien's aragorn behaves like a medieval king, who's not going to have a tax policy as such. and the appendices talk about aragorn spending decades genociding the orcs.

the point of the rule is more like “don’t mess around with guns by pointing them at people ‘for fun’ even if you think they’re unloaded, because you’ll screw up some day”
hey quick question if you go to new advent and look at their patristic sources, who was that guy who edited those collections of the ante-nicene fathers and stuff that are there?
@eigenrobot
the bitter irony here is that the miltwitter folks who are most vocal about this are also the most vocally critical of the andurils of the world that present at least a reasonable shot of getting out this problem
the specific era reflected here prominently features massive immigration from europe of skilled laborers that made this kind of craftsmanship uniquely affordable in ways that were true neither before nor after.
the skills still exist, but you can't afford them for this any more.
My crank suspicion is that Ecc 1.10-11 refers to epochs lost to us, advanced civilizations that existed in an unfathomably distant past and whose remnants have been utterly lost to time.
one of the funnier things i’ve seen was a 1662 communion service done for july 4th under the thesis that this was the liturgy in place in 1776. however, they also had a thurifer…

and that’s another thing not being mentioned here – they went to an ER with no hospital attached! they probably never even talked to an OB/GYN!
this highlights that what we’re seeing is more like “pseudo-protest”. it’s young elites co-opting the vocabulary and tactics of protest, but as a toxic expression of class privilege and power, hence the expectation of avoiding any consequences. it’s a morally corrosive LARP.

if you actually go to the duomo in florence it’s like one small sad side chapel of people hearing mass and then an entire nave full of admission-paying tourists
@patio11
but that’s not the right answer either beyond superficial plausibility – it’s the wrong king louis, and anyway voltaire said it of the english, not the french!
okay, this is brilliant. we should move the choir back to the west gallery so we can go back to filling the choir stalls with all the children in the congregation.
broke: open table
woke: open communion
bespoke: closed communion

more than anything, we need to stop caring about young people’s political views. and we especially need to stop trying to pander to whatever we think those views are.

the "aragorn's tax policy" question really just tells you that the asker has no idea how polities before the early modern era work, and makes no sense in context.
pointing out the incoherence of rowling's world is not the same thing.

like was this second facility actually a hospital? who knows! did the couple talk to an actual OB-GYN at any point, let alone theirs? who knows!
women are allowed to preach so long as the sermons are sufficiently vapid such that nobody is at risk of being taught anything by listening to them
fortunately for the mainline, our typical sermon already meets this bar handily
goodness, how many levels of scandal are we at with this one qing dynasty book now?
maybe we can make academic history cool again by turning it into to a soap opera.
Seems to me that if you are the editor in chief of an academic journal, you shouldn't publish what is clearly an undergraduate's coursework as a review of a book that has been at the center of a great deal of controversy, just because the undergraduate is from your university
@tjh1701
“liturgical space” by nigel yates. it’s more on the relationship between liturgy and church buildings. something like this is more representative:
it just sunk in for me today that the amazing thing about “being a father” is that it’s a transitive action. i’m not just generically a father in some abstract sense. i’m a father to one very particular, wonderful little girl. ☺️
it's even sadder given the historical significance that church. it's on the one street still running east-west in the manhattan grid, and the reason that street still exists. it was the stuyvesant family church. the city couldn't tear it down, so they had to keep the street.
the matisse vestments strongly highlight how one of the key problems with avant-garde styles is just difficulty.
liturgical movement stuff looks great when executed by a genius like matisse, but unlike with traditional styles, marginal examples suck.
@franzsherbert
cp snow won this argument a while ago.
stuff like basic thermo and E&M clearly meet that standard of "the common intellectual and aesthetic inheritance of every human being".
the irony of RENT the musical is that the NIMBYism of the main characters in blocking redevelopment of an empty lot is what makes rent so unaffordable. as a YIMBY, i regard benny as the hero.

the reason these intuitions don't "work" is because, the longer you go, the less often B wins over A.

10 flips: 25%
100 flips: 6.2%
1000 flips: 1.8%

i’m starting a discourse. what the heck is up with the rules in the current 1662 printings for transferring lady day to tuesday after low sunday?
it’s not historic church practice and it’s not what the CofE actually does per common worship.
does anyone actually follow this?
The three biggest religious groups in America
A) Evangelicals
B) Catholics
C) Unaffiliated
I think if A and B team up, we could take down C

the most anti-cranmer priest i know is also the only one who keeps the old lectionary and has more of cranmer than practically anyone else in new york in his sunday high masses
the phenomenon of reasonably saying "when i say lutheran, i never mean [the largest lutheran denomination in the US]" but still causing confusion is a pretty interesting case study in twitter context collapse
@eigenrobot
less than you’d think. most production stuff is developed against metrics that heavily disincentivize teams from shipping this sort of thing. it’s only in limited areas where product people have the leeway to attempt this kind of thing.
One of the leading candidates for Southern Baptist Convention president, David L. Allen, tonight voiced reservations about the denomination adopting the Nicene Creed, citing concerns about its ecumenical nature. Plus, he’s not necessarily comfortable with all of the wording.
The document explicitly says that such a blessing is not to be confused with marriage and is not an endorsement of the relationship but an opportunity for encounter with God - which I'm sure everyone will follow and there will be no diluting whatsoever.
except you have no way of knowing which 75% you can cut.
before 2012, conventional wisdom would have put the people wasting their time with neural networks at toronto, montreal, and NYU in the "dead weight" bucket.
Even in STEM you could easily cut 75 percent, possibly more, of the PhDs without any loss. Modal outcomes are professor of irrelevant articles and xgboost monkey-- not actively harmful like the social scientists but still dead weight
