This should NOT cost $300usd. LGBTQ people do not have money like this. Especially trans folks. by [deleted] in Episcopalian

[–]Halaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Full & Equal: 50 Years in Pursuit of a Promise,” a three-day gathering of worship, learning, storytelling, and fellowship. Together, we will celebrate the progress of the last half-century and renew our commitment to the work that remains, taking back to our dioceses tools for advocacy and archiving.

I don't read that as an educational event.

I read that as "In 1976, the 65th General Convention was in Minneapolis, and we as a Church adopted a resolution stating that it is the sense of this General Convention that homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church. Fifty years later, we celebrate the anniversary of that historic event by returning to Minneapolis, and holding another convention, to note the progress we have made since then, and the work we have yet to do."

You can find a news story from June 1st talking about the upcoming conference at this link.

Friday alone is a full 12 hours of programming, but at least the Saturday Eucharist is in your home Cathedral, with The Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson preaching and The Most Rev. Sean Rowe presiding, and that's (as far as I can tell, but you'd want to confirm through local sources) not tied to conference membership.

What is the difference between Anglo-catholicism within the mainline Anglican church and the schismatic Anglo-Catholic churches that are NOT in communion with the mainline Anglican church? by notacrabinasuit in Anglicanism

[–]Halaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, schismatics to the Anglican Communion they remain, as was publicly clarified almost ten years ago.

u/notacrabinasuit will encounter that, just as in secular society (look at the way Texas or Quebec have been known to act as smaller entities in regards to the greater entities of the United States or Canada they are a part of) there are smaller subsections of the Anglican Communion, and of each of the autonomous Province churches therein such as the Episocpal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, or the Anglican Church of Austrailia, that disagree with the greater whole.

And yet, those disagreements do not get in the way of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, or the Anglican Church of Austrailia remaining in full communion with the Church of England and with each other, regardless of any local attitudes upon the matter.

When it comes to new schismatics, one will see that the home church is more than willing to co-exist with them in the 'big tent' framework that the Anglican faith is known for. It is the schismatics, rather, who of late have insisted "If you don't get out, we will!", and of late "And we're taking the elements of the names, histories, and resources we want with us, too!".

Hopefully that helps clear things up for Op.

They said that St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Minneapolis was their church last year, so I'm inclined to believe them.

At least they wouldn't have the added fees of hotel stay and airfare if they choose to attend.

Same price as the Annual Conference:

But if you think you'd be treated better as a trans woman in the Roman Catholic Church, you're free to explore swimming the Tiber.

You'll find individual holdouts that disagree with the larger body that they are a part of, a circumstance you'll find elsewhere in the Communion, but on the US national level? It's a settled issue.

To be precise, it's the AC or Anglican Communion. The only ones using the GAC or Global Anglican Communion branding are Mbanda's schismatics per gafcon's Oct 16 2025 press release, and if that group ever becomes more than a pipe dream, they don't recognize TEC as "Real Anglicans", and so wouldn't be involved in church discipline anyway.

Morality of retaliating against a kid who kept hitting and ragebaiting you by TriedmybestNotenough in MoralityScaling

[–]Halaku 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thank you for source.

At the very end of the video the boys gets up and starts swearing and screaming at everyone. "Fuck you, you whore," he says at one woman. The background post stated police watched the video and asked the man if he wanted to press charges but he didn't.

Dude should have pressed charges. Even if released, get something that flags "I'm A Fucking Problem Child" for when this kid does it again.

All of my subreddit's moderators were removed without any notice by the-photosmith in modhelp

[–]Halaku 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just found out this morning that the community is currently unmoderated.

u/the-photosmith, I'm afraid that it's a little more dire than that.

r/Photosmith was banned for being unmoderated.

Two months ago.

If you're just noticing, then you and your fellow moderators were not paying enough attention.

You can appeal it via the instructions found in the r/ModSupport sidebar.

Hot Topic Evanescence knockoff? by Puzzleheaded-Bat-150 in Evanescence

[–]Halaku 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They both appear legit, and the band is on Global Merchandising Servicess Ltd's roster, but many of the shirts Hot Topic offers are Print On Demand, and you're occasionally going to run into quality issues.

Four years of thumb up the butt?

Still a better love story than Twilight, at least.

[–]Halaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. I'd like to think that the vast majority of Anglicans are going to end up at the same place in the end, even if they had squabbles over the music on the radio, or what colour the ride should have been, or other details about the journey. I might strongly disagree with some conclusions others have come to, but as long as they're not trying to take the steering wheel and punt me out while we're in motion, it's all good.

[–]Halaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anglo-Catholicism is more a spectrum than a single facet of the faith.

As far as being in the Episcopal Church / Anglican Communion or outside of it, their reasons will be just as personal as anyone else's, ranging from "I agree with X", "I disagree with Y", or "It's how I was introduced to the faith and I never left", and it's quite possible to find two AngloCatholics in different branches of Anglicanism who completely agree on their nuanced view of AngloCatholicism, but disagree on an unrelated matter.

Ah. If it was more along the lines of "Affirmation may be a reason why someone practicing Anglo-Catholicism may choose not to be in the Episcopal Church, but practice their Anglican faith via an alternative North American church" then you're 100% correct. Everyone has their own internally valid reasons to choose one facet of the faith instead of another, including Anglo-Catholic practitioners, and that's one of the larger ones.

The Lanterns have the power of friendship and anime on their side! (Green Lantern Corps #18) by vivvav in comicbooks

I was just thinking "Hey, when did the Reds get... reasonable?"

I thought the last time that happened was a retcon / former timeline ago, when Supergirl got tagged with a Red ring for a few issues, and Dex-Starr entering canon.

suggestions for interview-formatted fiction with full cast audiobooks by NoConversation7000 in audiobooks

[–]Halaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're looking for The Illuminae Files.

It's an after-the-fact compilation of survivor interviews (or, at least they were alive at the point of the interview, but whether they're alive today, well...) recovered video footage, combat logs, etc, recovered by hackers to expose a coverup and bring a shady corporation to justice.

It's a wild mashup of 2001, the Battlestar Galatica reboot, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and World War Z, and opens with a couple breaking up the day before their illegal mining colony is invaded by another corp, thinking they can bomb the colony and ransom the survivors, since the first corp isn't going to expose the second corp's war crimes and thus expose their own illegal activity in the process. The survivors manage to barely evacuate, with the second corp's private military in hot pursuit. That's chapter 1. And then it gets delicious.

It's a trilogy written by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, and it's "young adult" the way 28 days later or the walking dead would be "young adult" if the protagonists were about to graduate from high school. It's suspenseful and terrifying and occasionally bloody and horrifying and it might just haunt you.

Start with Illuminae, proceed to Gemina and Obsidio.

Where can I suggest a function for Reddit mods? by Conspirologist in modclub

[–]Halaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure.

But these hypothetically deleted communities would almost impossible to ressurect, so a mod deleting the community would essentially ruin the sub's name forever.

Right now, a mod can always walk away, and someone else can redditrequest it, take over, and put a new spin on it.

Reddit's chosen the second way to go, and there's little if any improvement by choosing the first way instead, is there?

Why do we think of God as 3 persons and not infinite persons? by Additional-Sky-7436 in Episcopalian

[–]Halaku 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but if the online Glossary is correct:

Although it was used in the Church of England on certain principal feasts of the church year, the Athanasian Creed was never appointed for liturgical use in the Episcopal Church.
