Went to a secular wedding this weekend and the ceremony was so banal and devoid of meaning that it actually gave me hope for the future. People simply can't say cringe stuff like "merging of energies" for more than a generation or two. It isn't possible.

Every American denom is like this right now, though. Presbys, Methodists, Lutherans, Anglicans, even RCs, contain a formal wing and a guitars + projectors wing. EOs are the main exception, and it's because they're still ethnic.

I don't know if I'll ever understand how two parishes such as these can exist with supposedly the same confession. Which way LCMS Man?

It took me a long time to realize that the reason there isn't a strong Protestant school system like the Catholics have is because the American public schools *were* that system.

Reading about the Episcopal Church of just a few decades ago sometimes feels like reading about another planet. A vast institution of seminaries, journals, monasteries, missions orgs, publishing houses...that no longer exists. And the money. So much money.

Alright, we've hit the ACNA hard this week. I want to hear some good things about it. RT with church plants you are excited about right now. Mine is Christ the King (REC) in Marietta, GA. Fr. Tony there has grown the church to 300 ASA in just a couple of years.

Some thoughts on the ACNA congregational reporting. First, growth is pretty clear across the board. We’re past pre-Covid numbers. We’re not TEC or another aging “high church” denomination. That’s amazing news.

Conservative Prots, and now conservative RCs, EOs, etc. tend to have a very "us vs. the world" mentality that leads to a lack of participation in civic life. Mainliners never really had this distinction: American civic life was their purview.

People leave the ACNA because it feels terminally unstable and theologically shallow, and they long for something solid in 2023. It's why they left their TGC church for Anglicanism in the first place.

Mere Anglicanism "controversy" is just another example of how immature of a denom the ACNA continues to be. They should never have invited Calvin, but then decided to freak out when he did the dog and pony show he *always* does.

The UMC is going to be fascinating to watch in the next few years, as it's the first mainline denom to have a conservative majority depart, leaving the unitarian wing of the denom entirely in charge. We haven't seen anything like this yet.

There seems to be a lot of angst in Christian circles about why young men find the definition of masculinity presented by influencers more appealing than the Church's, but no one floats the simple thesis that influencers are more entertaining and on your phone.

Balaam is such a wild character. How is he a prophet of Yahweh? What does all the symbolism in the story of the donkey mean? And he gets credit for the Heresy of Peor? There needs to be more Balaam discourse.

This is a great model for young churches on a budget. Big white box + high ceilings always looks good, and can be done for cheap. Add more stuff as the parish grows.

Alright, let's see how much scripture a Catholic who went to Mass today would have received. It's the Solemnity of the BVM today. OT: Num 6:22-27 Psalm: 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8 NT: Gal 4:4-7 Gospel: Luke 2:16-21 That's 21 verses in total.

"Protestants know the bible better than Catholics" I don't think that's true. A Catholic who *pays attention* in Mass will hear more of the bible than a Protestant who pays attention during the service

And they figure out pretty quick that all of the "ancient" liturgical practices they love are actually a thin veneer of aesthetics over what really just amounts to a non-denom eva church. So they leave, looking for a Church that takes itself more seriously.

Worth remembering when discussing WO that the ACNA is effectively a micro-denom. We're much smaller than the CRC, the WELS, and even the EPC. If you were to split up the ACNA right now, which is what would happen if you wanted to "resolve" WO, the leftovers would be tiny denoms.

Here’s a wild story from the old Episcopal Church: the history of Church of the Holy Trinity in South Bend, IN. In 1911, Bp. John White was approached by a group of 84 Hungarian families who didn’t have a Roman Catholic church that was in Magyar, and asked him for a parish.

Anti-Cranmer sentiment is always the strongest amongst ACs who have abandoned entirely the Cranmerian liturgies, like in TEC and the CoE. I've been in plenty of Continuing parishes that proudly celebrate "St. Cranmer's" feast day.

If you’re an Anglo-Catholic and think Cranmer was a rank and evil heretic, just swim the Tiber already. It’s amazing what the Oxford Movement has revised historically and pushed. Not all of you are like this, but there’s enough.

But do you know what's actually crazy is the fact that until the mid-20th century your average Prot was probably getting TEN CHAPTERS of scripture read to them every Sunday over 2-3 services. We've completely dropped the bag.

I saw a lot of people react negatively to the idea the ACNA is congregationalist, but this is 100% a by-product of having no coherent definition of what Anglicanism is. Same thing with WO. If you have no agreed upon authorities, then eventually congregations run their own affairs

Many fail to realize that ACNA is functionally a congregationalist denomination where the laity rarely see beyond their local parish, aside from the yearly episcopal visitation. Few are engaged at the diocesan level, and even fewer at the provincial level.

But they get here and they find out that there are 5 dioceses present in their city, that no one actually agrees on a standard of doctrine, and that the Archbishop will use the provincial email to yell "USURPERS" at other bishops, typos included.

What's funny about the "Baptist Anglican" thing is that this isn't even a debate: there are already a decent number of ACNA churches who accept the "dual" position he proposes in the article. I even know of a large ACNA church (500+ members) that discourages infant baptism.

Diocese of the Carolinas. Want to know why Steve Wood is archbishop? It’s right there at the top. Wood has built a juggernaut church planting machine that shows no signs of slowing down. This continues to remain top of mind for the bishops, as it has since the beginning.
