Polhill—Anglican Calvinist—observes inhumanity in his era exceeded what existed before Christ arrived to deliver a Lecture of Love. The Incarnation provided two things: a renewed command to love, and a new motive—God giving his Son. Deriving neighborly ethics from orthodox Christology is precisely what Polhill does. Fewer orthodox pastors today would describe the Incarnation’s purpose that way.

New “old” word:
precatory- to pray (from the Latin precari)
I’ve heard precatory used in a legal sense before, where it indicates some kind of non-binding agreement or a kind of wish (for lack of a better term) but never in a religious context until it turned up in a summary sentence about the 1552 Prayer Book. (The Study of Anglicanism, p. 12) Now I’m going to have to think about where and how the two intersect. 🤔

On #GoodFriday my Lenten devotional #TheDisciplesWay from #ForwardMovement encourages attending worship services rather than providing a verse of Scripture to reflect on. This seems like an excellent opportunity to remind (or inform) everyone that funds collected today as part of the #Episcopal Church’s #GoodFridayOffering benefit the #Anglican Province of #Jerusalem & the #MiddleEast You can learn more about this historic partnership, now in it’s 103rd year! or make a donation online at: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/good-friday-offering/
“No matter how we understand the causes of violence in the #HolyLand we can surely agree that we must support our fellow Anglicans in alleviating the devastating #humanitariancrisis now unfolding in #Gaza ,” [Presiding Bishop Sean] Rowe said [in a recent statement regarding last week’s missile attack on the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem]

Another churchly #ChildKiller retires behind smoke and mirrors: The Case of #JustinWelby.
Raping a child and protecting those who do is as Christian as crucifixion. So no doubt the world is emitting a big yawn today as Justin Welby resigns as #Archbishop of Canterbury after being caught covering for his sadistic child-torturing friend John Smyth.
After all, #Anglican and #Catholic clergy are required by their standing policy of #CrimenSollicitationas to do precisely what Welby did and protect #ChildRapists in their church.
In its typical facile, dissimulating manner, the media has treated Welby’s protection of the brutal child-rapist John Smyth as a one-time, episodic event. In fact, Archbishop Welby is himself a notorious repeat offender who has blood on his hands. The malfeasance of this former #oil company executive turned Anglican #cleric goes way back.
During the first accredited excavation of children’s #MassGraves at the murderous Anglican #Mohawk #ResidentialSchool in #Brantford, #Ontario during 2011, Archbishop Welby ordered all the school records and gravesites destroyed.
During the summer of 2014, Justin Welby was named as a co-conspirator in #ChildTrafficking and killing by a #Brussels based #CitizensTribunal and found guilty of #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Part of the evidence presented to the Tribunal concerned Welby’s participation in a #CatholicAnglican child sacrificial #cult known as the #NinthCircle that operated extensively in the #Canadian ‘Indian #ResidentialSchools and implicates British, Dutch, and Belgian ‘royalty’.
The complicity doesn’t end there. It involves the world’s second biggest #mining company and a close associate and funder of Donald #Trump: Rio Tinto, whose biggest investors include the British royal family. Justin Welby’s ties to #RioTinto Mining and to more murder cropped up in September of 2022, when Tinto and its Canadian subsidiary, #StarDiamondMining, dealt with some “troublesome Indians” on the James Smith #Cree reservation in eastern #Saskatchewan.
After refusing to allow Rio Tinto to begin diamond mining on their land, ten members of the James Smith tribe were #murdered in one night. The alleged killer was a drug addict and drifter who conveniently died in #RCMP custody the next day. Six of the ten murdered people were relatives of Rio Tinto’s biggest opponent among the James Smith Cree natives, Chief Wally Burns.
