Lived in AL, AR, KS, IA, GA, and VA, but born in MS. Alumnus of Auburn University, 2008. I like music, photography, cars, economics, puzzles, and much more.
@jamesfcubie This chart is the categories that divorced people fall into, not the prevalence of divorce in those categories. Evangelicals are not more likely to get divorced - there are just more of them, so they make up a larger portion of the divorced population.
@dokimazete I'm not familiar with anyone here, but I would guess they feel like the PCA is becoming too conservative and went for a moderate alternative.
@JesseFOwens@Jlove__ $1300/sq ft is the figure I got from a Tulsa newspaper. My parents' church's recent major addition (1200 cap sanctuary+classroom space) was about half of that per square foot (600-700 est) from my estimate.
@DPGBehler Feminine worship is inward focused and emotion driven, masculine worship is outward focus and action driven. I don't think there is anything wrong with one or the other, but I think evangelicals tend to lean too far in the feminine direction, while Reformed types overcompensate.
@redeemed_zoomer If a church body left their denomination in order to avoid justified discipline, that would be schismatic. I don't think that would warrant considering the entirety of their membership to be schismatic though.
@LauraRbnsn The right to bear arms is about making sure citizens have the ability to match the power of state, so it's technologically agnostic. Birthright citizenship emerged as a response to the absence of easy long distance travel.
@Presbiteriano1 Synagogues never used instruments for Shabbat until the 1800s reform movement. Orthodox ones still don't use them. Christians introduced instruments to the liturgy; they were confined to the Temple prior. Christ is the new temple, so banning instruments denies his sacrifice 😉
