  1. "3 #Bible #Facts That BROKE My #Faith in #Seminary (& Why I'm Back)"

    youtube.com/watch?v=I3v_eXawx4s

    What happens when you study the Bible academically at seminary level?

    "In this video, I share 3 shocking discoveries that completely transformed my understanding of #Christianity. As someone with a PhD in #Christian Origins and an MDiv, I reveal what #seminaries actually teach about the Bible that most Christians never hear."

  2. William Arnot, Scottish minister, objects to the proverb, “charity begins at home”. It’s used not just for food but even Christian missions to non-Christian nations. The idea is a half-truth, and thus a whole falsehood. Charity begins but does not end at home.

    When can we stop pretending there is a valid point to be made by these proverbs?

    How can you encourage Christian missions?

  5. CW: Ordination stuff

    It's a common mistake of 20something seminarians to think the whole ordination process should be about realizing and affirming their "call." I did it myself.

    But the institution doesn't give a damn about calls. The institutional ordination process is about achieving the qualifications to join a professional guild.

    Their interest is in protecting the guild, not in promoting your self-actualization. Proceed accordingly.

  6. So, I guess I need to do some sort of #introduction here:
    Born in Sleepy Hollow, #NewYork
    Lived in south #Texas, #Arkansas (#Razorbacks), north Texas. #University of Arkansas, #trombonist, #teacher, #seminary in #Wisconsin, served the #EpiscopalChurch in #SouthDakota, #NorthDakota, #Minnesota. Left #TEC in 2018 for the #ChurchofEngland serving in #Norwich #ncfc.
    My loves: #classicalmusic, #birds, #RSPB, #parrots, #Iona, #Scotland. Used to love #hiking, but health will not let me anymore. (cont.)
