#calvinist — Public Fediverse posts

Andrew Martin Fairbairn notes that Calvin’s Geneva became Protestant Europe’s spiritual Airbnb: refugees arrived from everywhere, discovered a surprisingly orderly church, and then went home—occasionally risking execution—to recreate it. One wonders whether today’s Calvinist strongholds still feel like refuges, or merely meetings.

Nate's reference to C2K made me chuckle about my eclectic road. I'm #Calvinist and #TwoKingdoms, but my 2K theology came by way of #Luther. I'm a Calvinist who believes in #NaturalLaw, but my natural law theology came by way of Thomas. In every theological circle, I speak with an accent.

I'm currently #reading An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States and it seems pretty much everything that is going on in the #US can be explained by what's in that #book

I'm learning about its #Calvinist heritage, the #ScotsIrish, how #colonialism relates to #WitchTrials, how #WhiteSupremacy has roots in #Christian theology.

And, of course, all of this is part of #British #History.

It's an insightful book.
