Iโm going to do a vibes-based nonsequential ranking of church logos, on a scale of 1-10 based on how much they rock or suck Iโm going to start with the Catholics, because they have the flag of a real nation-state, and, thus, they donโt count for this thread. -/10

A thread on church logos that's excellent (and not only because the Church of Scotland gets tops marks - Nec Tamen Consumebatur, indeed)

And British writing is "As I walked over the bogland my grandfather left to me, a sense came to me again of what the Norse called "kvallfer" - that we tread over and over on the bodies of the dead who came before us, walking on earth forged from our ancestor's bones."

Like your apostles, Lord, you send us out into the world, to walk and work in its streets and the dirt and dust of the world clings to our feet. Give us faith to let you wash us, heal us, and inspire us to keep living your love for people and places that need you.

It's bribery and corruption, a protection racket. But another way to describe money given to the government under threat of punishment is taxation, here imposed unilaterally and arbitrarily by the executive without the legislature. Ship money is the analogy, if you're up on 17th C. English history.

On this day in 1965, the first edition of The Magic Roundabout was broadcast on BBC1. Using the animation from the French show Le Manรจge Enchantรฉ, completely new scripts (which bore no resemblance to the originals) were written and narrated by Eric Thompson.

When I worked for the Girl Scouts, and this was ten years ago, this was a five alarm fire. Membership organizations were crashing across the board, nobody wants to join or commit to any organization they just kind of want activities and services to be available when they feel like showing up

Grow in us, Lord, an integrity to the way of your love; bring to fruition in us a faithfulness and commitment in our relationships, that echoes your fidelity to us. As we share our love in families, friendships and with neighbours near and far, keep us true to you.

Fully endorse this, theologically and politically (Although mildly unfair on the present attitude of mainline denominations, at least in the UK - we're doing our best!)

hot take: religiosity is declining and all these mainline denominations keep trying to pass themselves off as social clubs but you can't sell people on christianity if you can't sell them on christ the same is true of liberalism: if we can't sell people freedom all the other stuff is inessential.

The radical right in Britain increasingly claims to represent "Christian values" & "Christian civilisation" - though its leaders rarely go to church or pretend to believe anything. It's especially important that Christian leaders speak out against this, as it's their tradition that's being claimed.

A courteous but very impressive rebuke to Nigel Farage from the Bishop of Oxford. "I heard no compassion in what you said...". "I disagree profoundly with your attempts to ... increase fear of the stranger in our communities". Do read.

trump's fundamental view of international relations is that of a rapist, but the field is extremely hostile to leader psychology and also to gender studies and so has been largely incapable of dealing with him in any realistic way.

I love this, it's so broken, an inconceivably small unit combined with an inconceivably large unit to produce a unit that is easily understood by itself yet has no practical significance and does not help you understand the scale of either of its components.
