@vicarkaren If one wing of the church is very strong, well organised, growing demographically, generating ordinands and investment — should we throw rocks at them or get our own house in order?
@vicarkaren The question has to be why “lovely little local” trad churches are so unable to survive — stuck in a time warp of outdated practices, missing half the generations, unable to raise parish share, increasingly unable to organise locally or nationally?
@BeormasSpam I stand by my point. The priest can suss this out in visits, and should require sooner form of preparation for baptism. Yes even in a fuzzy middle of the road Anglican parish.
@dominicptaranto Homosexuality intrinsically denies the goodness of the body by using it contrary to its design. It is sociologically and biologically self defeating. Any culture that endorses or promotes it has lost interest in the species survival and is therefore a culture of death.

@GiffLasta He probably has a point, but it doesn't defeat your argument for what biblical submission entails. Another factor that enables wives and other subordinates to engage in 'loyal opposition' is that all earthly submission is subordinate to (and models) our submission to God.
@NYerinLV@heliocentric112@Vitus_osst Down Syndrome is not a disease. It’s a genetic variation, a glorious gift of God, and people with this variation live happy, full lives. It is not at all appropriate to describe someone with this genetic profile as “suffering” with it.
@GiffLasta Griff I don't even know you and have never paid you any money but your twitter content has genuinely changed the entire dynamic of my marriage. I was initially skeptical but over weeks have just gently tried this out because it's been in my feed. Everything you write just works.
