@robertcraig400 @liambeadle Gone with a massive pandemic overreaction that has meant the more than doubling of the national debt.

@liambeadle In my church the clergy wore red for st Barnabas

@AtukwatseTracy @AMakorogo @Archbp_COU @ChurchofUganda_ Welby sent a written letter of which a copy was shared on Twitter. It is different.

Archbishop Justin Welby, Primate of All England, has every right to form his opinions about matters around the world that he knows little about firsthand, which he has done in his recent statement about @ChurchofUganda_'s widely held support for the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023.

@Psephizo @MarriageF The economics are not the issue: or Scandinavia would not have it. The cultural conservatism is not the issue or Japan, Italy, Russia would not have the same problem but even worse. The only thing that all these countries have in common with us is the industrialisation.

What does the gospel say to contemporary families? Why is the Church of England unable to express this? @MarriageF psephizo.com/life-ministry/…

@Psephizo @missjillyp @DrFrancisYoung Why then are countries in which family and large groups care about children with a steeper decline? Why countries with ready house availability and accommodations and incentives are also in decline?

@missjillyp @DrFrancisYoung Did you read the article? That is one of the points I make.

What might the gospel say to contemporary culture about families, households, and nurture of children? Why does the Church of England as an institution appear to be incapable of saying this? psephizo.com/life-ministry/…

@Psephizo @revandyriver Similarly, countries with higher numbers of housewives (Italy, San Marino, Greece, Turkey) have the same problem.

@Psephizo @revandyriver It's not policy: Scandinavia has massive policy incentives for families and they are in the same place. So are Hungary, Poland and Russia. From left to right-wing cultures: it is a poet-industrial thing. Sad.

'Put bluntly, there are not enough babies being born and the sticking plaster of mass migration is not going to hold for much longer. This is the most urgent political problem of our times and almost no one is talking about it.' psephizo.com/life-ministry/…

@maxcolliers_uk @Psephizo In conservative societies with a great number of housewives is the same. It is only pre-industrial societies that are making children. It's very sad.

@Psephizo Humanity is on the verge of extinction, a little bit like nuns in the CoE, and this is because those who are supposed to be mothers want to play the dad instead. And dads clearly can't bear childrens, unless you place them in their bellies.

@janotec77 @johnmilbank3 2/ at this point the best-case scenario for Ukraine is that it ends with a similar partition.

@janotec77 @johnmilbank3 1/ The monstrous thing is the destruction of Ukraine’s economy forever more, the hundreds of thousands of lives lost, and all because of a border on a plain between two identical peoples. It is as pointless as the decades of war and terrorism between Ireland and us.

One imagines that quite a few supporters of Putin will be supporters of the neo-Patristic synthesis (a boringly rigid Orthodox neoscholasticism). None of the sophiologists (eg at St Tikhon’s in Moscow) will be. Will Putin’s venture start to discredit the former?

Well that’s pretty clear. Good to see @gafconference and @ceecuk and all the bishops who oppose same sex relationships state how this goes categorically against the sainted Lambeth 1:10. I’ll wait. anglican.ink/2023/05/29/279…

@Jim52325099 @charliebelllive And theology, dress what the great divine that led puritans and low church Anglican worship said of vestments, candles, eucharistic adoration etc. All things that the church in which Ian Paul preached do.

@Jim52325099 @charliebelllive 1/ They were not adiaphora for the vast majority of the history of the Church of England. It’s only very, very recently and after many court battles on the use of the altar and the Eucharist, that evangelicals have become more malleable. Study history.

@liambeadle What’s wrong with masonry?

2/ Even perfect council houses Tower Hamlet and Leicester would present huge integration problems due to the fact that an enormous ethnic group can live in an area barely interacting in a meaningful way with English culture because every neighbour is of ethno-cultural group.

@EvantheReverend 1/ There is no way that a country without last resort currency (USA) like the U.K. can increase the debt at the level needed to give welfare to the equivalent of the entire Irish population every 10 years. Plus even if it could, it would leave the huge issue of integration.

@EvantheReverend Former colonies: Pakistan and India are not similar cultures and 8 million immigrants over 10 years are incredibly huge endeavour to integrate. You end up with many tower hamlets and Leicester.

@EvantheReverend Your comments are the stereotypical libertarian views of middle class, educated and wealthy third sector workers.

@EvantheReverend Also you did refer to places. The white working class stuck on benefits and low wages, poor education, early pregnancies and cycles of misery and abuse lives in places.
