  5. Tonight, we'll be taking a look at the concept of "wrestling with God" and why it's not a bad thing--indeed, even a thing that God has been known to bless!

    This will be a shorter installment, so we'll be going live at 3:00 pm Hawai'i time. Can always check it out later too!

  7. Eastern Bush & Districts - Edward William Pullar, WW1 Memorial Entry, 2024

    Edward William Pullar, Private, WW1 #32724 - from Eastern Bush:

    Print copy of information page on Edward (Ted) William Pullar, Private, WW1 #32724 d. 12th October 1917, plus photograph from from Otago Witness, 21 Nov 1917 & NZ War Graves photo of cemetery, with attribution.

    Ted as he was known, born Edward William Pullar, served from 7 July 1916 until he was KIA on 12 Oct 1917 in the battle for Passchendaele.

    The text from this information page, reads as follows:

    "Edward (Ted) William Pullar was born at Footscray, Melbourne, Australia, on 9th June 1892. He was the eldest son of parents William and Marion Alice Pullar, who reportedly had 14 children. The couple appear to have come to Aoteroa NZ after Ted’s birth along with their eldest child Elizabeth Jane. The family later went on to farming at Tussock Creek in Murihiku Southland. Ted’s education was said to have been undertaken at Rakiura Stewart Island and later Gummies Bush.

    Ted enlisted for WW1 on 7 July 1916 at age 24, and was a Bricklayer by trade, having worked on the First Church in Waihōpai Invercargill and various Post Office Buildings. At the time of enlistment, Ted was working for TA Scobie of Eastern Bush. Joining as a Private in the Otago Infantry Regiment, 1st Battalion, Ted was sadly killed in action not much more than a year later, on the 12th October 1917 at age 25, in the dreadful battle for Passchendaele, in Ypres, Belgium.

    Ted was also the recipient of a Military Medal, as reported in local papers and the London Gazette, in December 1917. It is recorded that Ted was awarded the Military Medal the week before he was killed. Edward’s memory lives on in the Tyne Cot Memorial at the Tyne Cot Cemetery, Zonnebeke, West-Vlaanderen in Belgium.

    Interestingly, his father William served in the Boer or South African War and also served as a Sapper in WW1, enrolling on 15 December 1915 at age 44, his trade being a painter. By the time he was 52, it is recorded that William was “no longer physically fit for war service” and he had Rheumatism. He was to pass away in 1945 at Balclutha, Otago, but was buried at Aparima Riverton Cemetery. It’s noted on the cemetery file he was also at Tihaka (Ōraka).

    Then we have Ted’s brother Robert, a Sawmill Hand, who reportedly tried several times to enlist while underage, eventually managing this on 16 March 1916, but his attestation form says his birth year was 1896, while he is registered in the NZBDM as being born in 1899! It was a common occurrence however during early WW1, for boys to lie about their age so they could go off to war to supposedly ‘have a jolly good time and get to see the world.’ And none could have been prepared for the carnage, in tragic injury and loss of life that ensued.

    Edward William Pullar is remembered on the following memorials:

    - Invercargill Cenotaph also has Edward William Pullar recorded as below.
    - Commonwealth War Graves Commission online memorial.
    - Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium, see below
    - Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph, see field below
    - And the New Zealand War Graves Project, as seen in the field below"

  10. Hey, uh... I'm already a bit entrenched in this subject, but something happened that makes me want to expand the offerings. Does anyone know of #liberal #catholic creators? Can be other #Christian too (#episcopal, #anglican #congregational #UnitarianUniversalist, #quaker are some other denoms I respect). I guess #EmilyWilson had said she doesn't care about immigrants or sex offense victims in a #Jubilee video, and I'm feeling betrayed and need to fill the void.

  12. Today, on Saint Mary's live-stream, we'll take a look at the subject of Christian Contemplation and consider whether or not such a thing is accessible to average people. I'll be drawing from the 14th century spiritual classic *The Cloud of Unknowing*.

  14. This is Great Witley Parish Church, the finest Baroque church in England.

    There's been a church here since Anglo-Saxon times, but it was rebuilt in the early 1730's. From 1747 to 1920, it was slowly shaped into its current form. After the fire at Witley court in 1937 it declined, but has been restored by the parish.

  18. Stillingfleet: no duty more scripturally unquestionable than doing good—being kind, forgiving injuries, reconciling enemies, redeeming captives, relieving want according to one’s abilities. Major Christian think tanks have applauded eliminating programs that relieve want, with no proposal to replace them from Christian pockets. Stillingfleet would have had a category for this.

    How can you seek the advantage of yourself and others?

  20. 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.

  22. In my morning prayers today, I had some thoughts about the Bible, the politics of the Psalms and Proverbs, and how it is that MAGA and I can read the same Bible but come away with very different views.

  26. Hmmm … It seems #WesStreeting is openly #Anglican

    Good for him.

    But … ?

    I don’t like the idea that a potential #PrimeMinister is religious.

    Just on principle, I’m comfier *not* have religious belief being a factor in a leader’s decisions.

  28. I had no idea, until just now, that it's normal for Catholics to receive communion in a line now, that there's no altar rail, and to handle the bread themselves. It seems very odd to someone who's used to Anglican churches (albeit some time ago) where altar rails and the host being placed on the tongue were normal.

    It's not a theological thing (I am so not the right person to be theological), it's just that the default "aesthetics" of Anglicanism are that they're a kind of middling in a line between Catholicism and Evangelicalism.

  31. Blessed Feast of the Ascension to those who celebrate. Today the Western Church concludes the Easter celebrations by commemorating Christ Jesus’ ascent into the presence of the Father, completing the work of the Incarnation by bringing human nature into Heaven. A bookend to His conception, where God’s nature was brought to earth.

  42. Lumen
    A #poetry thread

    i.

    In sable night
    that lacks the stars,
    a sealed off cave.
    A man, five scars.

    The tail of night,
    a crack is heard.
    Black stone is rolled,
    a flight of birds.

    Beloved with
    her oils and herbs.
    She sees the stone
    and finds no words.

  43. Vigil
    A #poetry thread

    i.

    A portal with a warning line,
    this cave’s mouth made of blackened stone.
    A journey split from mortal time —
    into the black. Cries, echoes, groans.

    Down I descend to frozen depths.
    A poet, partner, pulls me on
    past popes and princes who, plaintive, wept
    for what to them is neverdawn.

    🧵👇🏼
