Anglicans too often miss the point of study. It’s not really about knowing useful stuff or developing clever arguments or justifying our faith. Study is a form of worship.

@Psephizo Reading the very brief extract from the book, he doesn’t actually seem to be stating that this is what Jesus taught - it seems to be more that the story reminds him of other ‘tombs’. Seems to be a bit of eisegesis all round - at least in terms of these two paragraphs.

Can't believe that the time has come to say goodbye to the indomitable Janet Martin of @CamberwellSA. While we will miss her greatly, the energy that Janet has poured into our movement over the last 9 years leaves us stronger than ever. We can't wait to see what you achieve next.

"A bishop must have a firm grasp of the word that is trustworthy in accordance with the teaching, to be able both to preach with sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it."

Bishops (& other clergy) need to take time to study, read & ponder, not just manage the church.

“In The Salvation Army we see, as it were, the summation of the woman’s movement, her equal status with man in social and spiritual and intellectual responsibility” (Evangeline Booth). An optimistic view from 1930.

2021 - surely it’s not too much to expect that for once a keynote conference speaker could be someone other than a white Western male.

Aristotle: a good person wears a mask.

Bentham: a mask decreases suffering, so wear it.

Kant: it is your duty to wear a mask.

Kondo: spark joy, not infections, so wear a mask.

@DrJohnClifton Trying to imagine the Zoom fatigue from that many faces at once, but an impressive setup. My dual screens at home are feeling a bit inadequate.

Emile Smith Rowe created four chances today - more than all Spurs' players put together.

He also had the best passing accuracy of any player in the game today (97%).

@samjtomlin @WBC_UKT @Major1968 @BigDaveJones I think my book review was a rather lesser/easier undertaking than the major contributions.

@Stelly685 Possibly not Cornwall’s fault, however, the apparent exodus from the South East to holiday homes might have played a significant part.

Please don’t clap us. Just wear a mask, wash your hands and respect lockdown 🙏

@KinseyDavid @JasonSnell73 But if you call it League 1 it doesn’t sound so bad.

[Malcolm Martin @malmar2010]

@JasonSnell73 Could be much worse. Imagine what it’s like for us Arsenal fans at the moment 😞

@callummckenna @MissionLatte Or “your answer was completely wrong” rather than “this wasn’t quite the focus that the question required”.

[Malcolm Martin @malmar2010]

@callummckenna @MissionLatte When you say something like “you have deliberately twisted scripture to suit your own ends”, rather than “you have made some rather unfounded exegetical leaps”.
