Irenic Anglican with Broad Church leanings. Rooted in Scripture, open to tradition and reason. Anticipating the final renewal of all things.

[Tom S.🧂 @extrasalt513]

I think it's extremely silly how some Anglicans' response to the current state of the church is to keep angrily replaying 19th-century or earlier disputes on an endless loop. Raging about John Wesley or the Oxford Movement on Twitter isn't building up the kingdom of God.

@Jerry_kitlee @refinersfiremu1 @RefConformist But I think in seminaries the more left-wing mode of thought became more entrenched.

[TheBroadChurchman ⚓️ @BleedingThe6]

@Jerry_kitlee @refinersfiremu1 @RefConformist Sort of. My grasp is that in TEC there was a reaction to excesses of earlier liberal theology, with a kind of latent neo-orthodox consensus reigning up until about 1960, when the ground started to shift.

[TheBroadChurchman ⚓️ @BleedingThe6]

Very true. Anglicans and Presbys remain higher IQ traditions to this day, but they’ve shrunk significantly and I think a lot of intellectual traditional Episcopalians who couldn’t stomach progressive theology went to Rome

@gizmorazaar Endorsed. Similar to my own trajectory, sans EO interlude

My general theological takes as a thread (for those who may care) 🧵:

[James Clark @jamesdkclark]

Counterpoint: "17th and 18th century Anglicans did not...'fence the table' against their Lutheran and Reformed brethren, instead regarding shared Protestant doctrine as the basis for Lutherans and Reformed to receive the Sacrament."

The Boxer Rebellion would be so much cooler if it was called the “Kung Fu Rebellion.”

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

They were called Boxers by Americans because they’d practice group martial arts outdoors. They believed their kung fu made them impervious to bullets. When they tried to kill all the foreigners in the embassies in Beijing, US Marine Dan Daly single-handedly defeated 200+ of them.

The travels of the twelve apostles according to church tradition. That is a big map.

@DanielGullotta Done sir 🙏

[TheBroadChurchman ⚓️ @BleedingThe6]

This is quite true, and as a proud Protestant, I find it very unsettling.

@Young_Anglican You are gifted with this stuff

@rightwingnutrs In a weird twist, it’s actually made the Liberal Party competitive again, whereas before this issue they were looking at a disastrous blowout.

[TheBroadChurchman ⚓️ @BleedingThe6]

@rightwingnutrs In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 I think significant immigration reduction was absolutely viable, but back then that was something out of the Democrat playbook.

@lueyee That was during my bold Tahoma phase

[Matt Kennedy @lambeth981]

Why are you adding a law where there is no law? There is nothing in scripture that forbids setting aside time for fasting, repentance, and prayer.

@duckmonk11 I’ve never voluntarily watched it
