@SecondAgeEdain Distinguished Service Cross. The black bar on the ribbon implies it was awarded posthumously.

@ericmparker @The_ACNA Sacred Honor Anglican Campus Ministry. Granted, Washington wasn’t in Philadelphia (he was preparing for the British attack on New York), but the honor of God and that of the general could both be called to mind.

@lmansley I was a student minister at Brent House, the Episcopal campus ministry at U of Chicago. Good job that I liked much. Paid well. And convinced me to become a priest!

@ShadiBartsch These folks probably think Genesis 9:3 is a positive commandment that we HAVE to eat meat!

@yunghic1 Wow! News to me. Thanks!

@jsjackson15 We are ahead of you guys down here in North Texas. Yesterday I met an fully-vaccinated old friend for an afternoon chat, both of us unmasked (we were outdoors), then we had a genuine hug before I left!

@yunghic1 Indeed, the last full paragraph in his statement of yesterday about his appointment indicates “amazement“ that he is now striving side-by-side with Anglican worthies such as Ryle, Simeon, Lewis, and Stott. Doesn’t sound like someone who has deep Anglican roots.

@yunghic1 Is he really a priest in the Church of England? I see in his bio that he has a PhD from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. But I didn’t see anything that indicated the previous Anglican ministry.

I recently received a pleasant note from my mentor in my undergrad days, Dr. Michael Maas of the Rice Univ. History dept in the 80s. Today I discovered in the mail the gift of a book from Dr. Maas! There’s nothing like a good read over Attila the Hun and his age!

If you are looking for a translation of Vergil’s Aeneid, I emphatically recommend the new translation by Dr. Bartsch. It’s wonderful! It’s easily as good as Seamus Heaney‘s translation of Beowulf.

I found this book fascinating. An Oxford professor collected 1000s of mitochondrial & Y-chromosomal DNA samples from Britain and Ireland. His conclusion? Celts comprise the substantial majority of ancestors of people in England, as well as Scotland, Wales, & Ireland.

@KarenRoseBooks Yes. 56

I would love to take this class at the University of Chicago!
