As an Episcopal priest myself, I’ll be keeping an eye on this story… I guess since we’re the “wrong” kind of Christians (y’know, because we do same-sex marriages and have LGBT+ clergy and all), a Republican has no problem trying to steal one of our churches out from under us.
looks around room Okay, who put the camera in here? It’s not funny…
“Laga Laga… na gonna work here anymore!”
There’s this guy named Voultar on YT. I watched his video on how to make a GBS upscaler for old game consoles and it was so happy and encouraging. He talks about soldering resistors like Bob talks about painting a mountain. One of the comments on the video calls him the Bob Ross of retro gaming and they’re correct. He makes me feel like I can acquire those parts and make my copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga look good on my TV!
I’m guessing someone else decided to check out The Studio recently, huh?
Growing up west of Orlando, there was this store in the mall that sold like glass figures and porcelain stuff. Never once did I ever see a customer in there. Multiple stores came and went but that one, there since the mall’s opening, remained. When I worked for EB Games at the same mall, we’d always pass it when we dropped off our money and my manager would say it was a front. Everyone I knew called it the Crack Store.
Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.
Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.
I would suggest a slight adjustment and have them say “Well, I did that!” Since he’s always trying to compare himself to Biden, make the stickers play into that.
It’s especially jarring considering how thematically heavy the dry open is. Such a weird choice to change it on that season
So, Anglican theologians like John Keble and John Henry Newman (who later converted to Roman Catholicism) built off of a notion advanced by the 16th Century Anglican Divines that viewed Anglican Christianity as a distinct branch that developed alongside Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Things like the Synod of Whitby are cited as evidence that the Roman church worked hard to bring this distinct form of the church inline with Roman polity and practices (in some views Celtic Christianity is viewed as being part of this wider “English” branch of the faith). This resulted in a long-standing tenuous relationship with English Christianity and the Catholicism of continental Europe (reflected in things like the Sarum rite, etc.). So when the Reformation happened, this gave the opportunity for English Christianity to pick up where they left off and live into that distinct mode of being.
Given this, according to branch theory proponents, there would be Anglicans in the 900s. They were just put under the veil of Roman Christianity at the time.
