Falconer confirms: people will die under his AS bill because they are poor.

“Where the reason…is because in your mind you are influenced by your circumstances—for example, because you are poor—should you be barred from having an assisted death...? In my view [you should] not.”

@AdamMerrivale I think giving an example of very poor allegory for something that very obviously shouldn't be allegorised rather assumes the point he wants to prove. Amusing, but not an argument. (though I am sure he further argues his case in the surrounding paragraphs)

[Ryan Gray @ryangray159]

@j_bambrick https://t.co/tz9Zt1udYh I think this is helpful in showing why that isn't the case.

@DuncanHollands (the opening title aria)

[Ryan Gray @ryangray159]

@DuncanHollands Ich bin vergnugt mit meinem glucke, BWV84, Phillip Herreweghe - my favourite version of my favourite aria in a cantata. The words are simple but exceptionally profound.

This is a project I've been working on for seven years or so--although others have done all the properly heavy lifting. There are now about 2 million words of free-to-air theological articles written by world-class experts in their fields. https://t.co/bi8jgMsLOM

[FIEC @theFIEC]

'Primer' was born out of a desire to help church leaders to stay theologically sharp, often used in discussion by eldership teams and fraternals.

The publication is now out of print but we've made all 12 issues available for free to download as PDFs ⬇️

Unsystematic thoughts on style in theology.

(1) One influential style is "classy" (or "Anglican," which is sort of the same thing). This style is refined and elegant. Think of Rowan Williams. +

[Niv Lobo @NivLobo]

There's a gap between the ideal of Proverbs (where those who are lazy, dishonest, unjust etc. all come to a bad end) and our fallen world. In that gap my mind can be puzzled, my heart can grow weary and my conscience can become seared. So this is so helpful (Kidner via Keller):

[Ryan Gray @ryangray159]

@NivLobo Excellent, thank you!

"Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire."

[Andrew Errington quaerens intellectum @ErringtonA]

'We are all of us imaginative in some form or other, for images are the brood of desire; and poor old Featherstone, who laughed much at the way in which others cajoled themselves, did not escape the fellowship of illusion'. — George Eliot, Middlemarch

'the brood of desire'!

@tapanisimojoki What phenomenally talented children you have! Truly excellent musicianship and tone in both performances. And I (not that it matters) say that as someone with some experience in professional orchestras. Some excellent opportunities ahead for both of them no doubt!

[Ryan Gray @ryangray159]

@NorthDakotaJane @JMWSPT @JcScharl @MaryannCorbett @ae_stallings Can someone say more about what this means?

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

Why does our world look the way it does?

Because of the most influential design school in history: the Bauhaus.

From fonts to furniture, this is how Bauhaus created the aesthetic of the modern world...

[Ryan Gray @ryangray159]

@davebish Rowan Williams and Joy Clarkson both have very interesting articles on the book that I found helpful for reflecting further
