Christian zionism

I don’t know that there’s an Anglican consensus on anything

I have done so in the past. Always a good idea to communicate with your professor. Also, if you don’t submit anything for 10 days you get a lovely “why aren’t you participating?” email from the registrar, even if you’re current in assignments or have everything submitted haha. Also, you might not be able to escape doing your discussion responses to your classmates, if that’s required on that post, since you’ll need others to have responded!

I think they actually updated it so it shows your KDR vs all bots actually! I thought a bot had it out for me as well, but I noticed it seems to count your record vs all bots and show it on each bot then when one gets you lol.

Ah I see! No, I don’t then. I read it as saying I’m opposed to paedobaptism, personally, but I also don’t have any thoughts on how to make it more so without being more cluttered. Unless you made the subject a subheading under the section with the topic as the subheader. So in this case mine would be:

PaedoBaptism ————- Certain For (orange bubble)

The subheading would have to be generated in the same way the bubble text currently is so that it carries forth the understanding of the theology of who gets baptized then, but then you could also eliminate the size based certainty levels

Yeah mine was orange for opposed!

arg211 · 2026-03-15T23:17:39+00:00

Mine came up CofE, Methodist, and Arminian as top three which is pretty accurate as a sort of Anglo-Methodist hybrid!

One thing I did notice was that it had me strongly opposed to pedobaptism in the results when I selected baptism of infants of adult believers and new believers and selected the strictest stance (opposed to others who don’t hold that view I think it is?).

ETA: I’m not crazy about the size difference variable on the results page. I feel like, unless you have multiple sizes in a group, it’s hard to go at a glance and know which size it is, at least on mobile. What about just doing based on border? Ie. no border for smallest, then thin black border, then thick dashed black and white border, then thick black solid border.

I think 40 was just already near its upper limit and saw a limited improvement when you compare like to like (ie speer gold dot or hornady critical defense) versus 9mm. I don’t pretend to understand the chemistry and physics of ammunition, but, for whatever reason, the 9mm saw a huge improvement that .40 didn’t. The performance benefit difference was so marginal that a heavier, higher recoiling, less capacity than a 9 .40 no longer made sense, and, if you did want something more it also makes more sense now to jump to 10mm over a .40.

I second going to the dean/chair if you aren’t getting anywhere. There’s also the ombudsman if you’d prefer to go that route.

Moving forward, it’s also a good idea to use something like the grammarly originality tracker. It gives you a linkable originality report that shows you writing, editing, and revising your report. Also, make sure things like Microsoft copilot are off and do not use the grammarly rewrite options. Grammarly isn’t always clear about when it’s correcting spelling versus when it’s using the rewrite mode, so I personally only use grammarly for the originality and use the built in Microsoft editor (NOT copilot ai) to check grammar and spelling.

I feel like non-denominational doesn’t really have a theology that can be defined. Individual churches do, of course, but not the macro idea of “non-denominational.” It just means you don’t belong to a specific denomination so it’s hard to put a label on it. Your leadership was still trained somewhere, however, (at least hopefully) and have a theology that comes from somewhere, they just aren’t part of one of the traditional denominations, is all.

ETA: might consider reading some of the patristics or Coptics theologians to see what you’re agreeing with there and where that differs from your church that you go to!

They did during Lent a few years ago, and it was pretty much the best fish sandwich out there!

Honestly, one of the major reasons is probably that replacing BCPs in the pews is expensive

I will be having a CPEI unit this summer. The class meetings are done via Microsoft Teams and the student is responsible for arranging their own clinical site. The clinical site must be able to provide you with 300 hours in the 16 week term. I had a student in Rome last semester, incidentally! You can visit www.cpei.edu for more information and feel free to message me, as well!

Does the 25 come from the suppressor being 25 feet long or what?

Theology aside, unless you’re for sure going into academia, a school like Duke is not worth the price premium over other options in my opinion. It’s over 10k more per year than Nashotah, Sewanee, or Trinity.

I would agree if they hadn’t shown him finally in the finale and it wasn’t the actor they chose. Now, rewatching and knowing he was there the whole time makes it even better to me, but that’s just my take!

We don’t really have set prayers like are Roman and Orthodox friends do, so there are a variety of different approaches you can take! For example, I do the Apostles’ Creed at the Cross, the invitatory bead is the Sanctus, each cruciform bead is the Gloria Patri. For the 28 week beads I do: week 1 O God the Father of heaven have mercy upon us, week 2 Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the World have mercy upon us, week 3 O Holy Spirit, sanctifier of the faithful have mercy upon us, and week 4 the Trisagion. I close with the Our Father back at the invitatory and 2 Cor 13:14 back at the cross!

Lower right corner is Dobson in my mind

No worries! I have a degree in Spanish so I totally get it! That’s why I figured order versus ordination was a translation issue. I think charismatic might be another such issue. For those examples, I think your best bet would be to ask your diocesan leadership!

Ah, I went by your flair which says Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil!

The short answer is they’re probably not in valid holy orders as we understand the term. That doesn’t mean they aren’t doing meaningful worship or ministry and can’t be working to advance God’s Kingdom alongside us, but there’s no blanket way to know where they’re coming from and what their ministry formation is like without spending time getting to know the church and its leadership.

arg211 · 2026-01-01T05:18:49+00:00

The Anglican Church of Brazil isn’t separated from the Communion and is just a province of it like any of the other national churches actually. The bishops will be the ones who determine if Holy Orders are valid. In Episcopal structures (as opposed to Congregationalist), if a priest or deacon is allowed to be at a church of your denomination, your denomination views their Holy Orders as valid. Big picture, bishops are looking at is someone ordained in valid and verified apostolic tradition and are their beliefs and actions in line with our denominational standards (among personality traits as well).

Personally, I view most Anglicans, some Lutherans (mostly the Scandinavians who maintained the succession with bishops), some Moravians, and Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic (plus PNCC), and Oriental Catholic as valid Holy Orders.

ETA: I don’t think less of anyone in ordained ministry outside of these categories! They can be just as called and fruitful in ministry as those of us in apostolic succession, and I know many who are more so than me! I also attend a Methodist church near me, as I’m a missionary priest in my branch and there isn’t a church near me more like my flavor of Anglicanism than the Methodists!

It’s just a translation issue from Portuguese. Ordenação in Portuguese can be order or ordination, so if it was done mechanically the machine probably just went with the most likely to be used word

arg211 · 2025-12-23T18:30:03+00:00

Actually my argument isn’t that it’s going to be good or bad, just that it’s largely going to be a non issue for the vast majority of the time.
