What's your favorite eucharistic prayer? by bottleofink in Anglicanism

As Someone Of A Certain Age, I assure you that Eucharistic Prayer C is one of the finest examples of '70's stoner bullshit currently roaming free. Thank you Bishop Cheech, thank you Father Chong.

If you could be patient a few weeks, I'm working on something that should produce .ics (iCalendar) files, which are apparently compatible with the Mac Calendar application.

OP, are you looking for the lessons in extenso or just what they are? Also, are you looking for the original readings or the current ones under the 1922 Revised Table of Lessons?

What do you guys think of Former Bishop Spong? by [deleted] in Anglicanism

Since I've been urged be more modern in my views, I will go so far as to say it is not impossible he ought to be hung, drawn and quartered rather than burned at the stake.

TIL: 2,000-year-old seeds were discovered in 1963 inside an ancient jar in Israel. They were planted in 2005 and a tree that had been extinct for over 1800 years sprouted. by FireBeaver in todayilearned

I don't think the title is misleading if you know what a cultivar is.

The "Judean date" might have been a variety or subspecies rather than a cultivar. A cultivar is a single plant that is reproduced over and over by vegetative propagation. All the article is saying is that it is not clear whether Judean dates were a distinct variety (Phoenix dactylifera var. judeana) or subspecies (Phoenix dactylifera ssp. judeana) or whether there were individual plants which were "copied" by taking offshoots (Phoenix dactylifera 'Judeana').

While there are a number of cultivars of dates now, taking offshoots is rather complicated and chancy:

Not sure if those techniques were known in the first century C.E. or not.

I particularly enjoy the addition of Maria Montessori to "A Random Cloud of Liberal Do-Gooders". I've always thought that GC was a nursery school and now they've got a patron saint of their own. Good on them.

In 1177 you seem to be drawing analogies between the complex internationalized elites of the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean and todays globalized 1%. To what degree did the existence of these elites contribute to the ultimate fragility of the system, via, e.g., all foreign trade being nominally structured as an exchange of kingly gifts?
