“We can get back apostolic succession” is the LARPer tell.

We have apostolic succession according to a Lutheran understanding of what the church is. If you believe our pastors still hold the office of the ministry without the kind of “apostolic succession” we lack, then what you’re asking for is not actually “apostolic succession” but “a fun little thing that would make us feel more churchy.” In other words, LARPing.

[Hans Fiene 🦬 @HansFiene]

Because they aren’t bishops. The purpose of our titles is to reflect what the office is, not to help young guys LARP.

[Aaron Halboth 🦬 @AHalboth]

@Ozark_Anglican @TheLuthInn We already have valid apostolic succession through pastors.

[Aaron Halboth 🦬 @AHalboth]

@TheLuthInn I feel like it would just be a LARP because we don’t (and shouldn’t) have an episcopal polity.

@TheCptGreybeard St. Louis is probably the exception in Missouri. Western Pennsylvania out to Pittsburgh should probably be included as well. But pretty much spot on.

[Aaron Halboth 🦬 @AHalboth]

Real.

This may be a hot take, but following many travels, I've determined that THIS is the Midwest.

Dakotas are amazing, but are nothing like the Midwest.

Missouri feels more like a Southern state than Midwest.

Kentucky is more like Tennessee and Virginia than the Midwest.

Read Riley-Smith for a Crusades class at seminary. Banger.

[Sami Gold @souljagoyteller]

Apparently, the extremely negative impression of the Crusades among Muslims only really dates back to the 19th century; until then, Orthodox Christians held more historical fury at the Crusaders.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

@HansFiene I once asked an Ethiopian friend at CSL about it and his response was “they really seem to think so”

@Shaneand91 @piratechristian I think his point is that this association is made up and can’t exactly be supported from Scripture (except for a few specific nations like Egypt (Mizraim)).

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

@PopCrave You misspelled “Augsburg Confession Awareness Month.”

[Aaron Halboth 🦬 @AHalboth]

Hot take: Imperial in general is more natural while metric is sterile and artificial. Imperial units also tend to be evenly divisible in more ways than metric. Metric is great for science when you have a calculator, but imperial is far more natural for daily life.
