@Psephizo @johnmilbank3 @holydisrupter Not to be Pelagian is to believe that God's offer of grace cannot be received without God's grace. Not to be universalist is to believe that God's grace may not be sufficient.

@johnmilbank3 @holysmoke More of an argument than "We were in no major crisis in the Seventies"
English
@holysmoke Not an argument. Ignores relativities, scale etc. Why not embrace the actual ethical teaching on social matters of your own Church?
English
‘We were in no major crisis in the Seventies…’
john milbank@johnmilbank3
I’m not generally in favour of socialist govts jailing individuals as ‘enemies of the people’. But with Allister Heath I might make an exception. We were in no major crisis in the Seventies; thanks to decades of Thatcherism we are in one now. Worse placed than our neighbours.

@JohnRentoul On Remembrance Sunday I would like to see the diameter of each wreath made proportional to the length of the term of office.

New record set to be set on Monday: nine living former UK PMs
Tom Freeman@SnoozeInBrief
Sunak is now the record-breaking eighth member of the fast-growing club of former PMs. A historical sign of political turbulence (as well as the fact that politicians have been getting younger).
English
@johnmilbank3 I agree, in the literal sense, and when Scripture speaks of God's plans, it's like when it speaks of God's arm or smell. The overuse of God's "plans" makes me wonder whether people understand this.
English
It is idolatry to imagine that God has any ‘plans’. His thinking is simply his doing and his agency is indissociable from his spontaneous, eternal, simple and single (though multiple) act.

@kayaburgess What's more jaw-dropping is that the survey results were not questioned by YouGov or the Bible Society from the start, when to anyone with O level maths and some awareness of church attendance they were clearly flawed.
English
BREAKING (and pretty jaw-dropping) NEWS:
The "Quiet Revival" report which prompted huge excitement among churches over Gen Z flocking to church...
Bible Society has now said the survey was "flawed". YouGov said many respondents were "fraudulent"
They're withdrawing the report:

A supremely important article on science, philosophy and religion by RO’s Conor Cunningham, a geographical neighbour who directs my Centre of Theology and Philosophy. That outfit has a big co-sponsored conference on Nature coming up in Rome in June. dropbox.com/scl/fi/9ktrvxh…

I would really like to know the answer to this. There must be a Bishop that grew up as a chorister?
My alternative suggestion is
@suffolkvicar - having sat near him at a chapel service. Lovely voice!
BijanOmrani@BijanOmrani
This is excellent. The CofE should be doing stuff like this. Which bishop has the best singing voice?
English
@BijanOmrani " I'm the people's warden"
"No, I'm the people's warden"
English
These are the facts. The original post is less than accurate

🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer to cut funding of Christian churches, with thousands now at risk of closure He’s gone full communist.

@ArchdeaconLuke "94% of claims were under this amount" but not 94% of projects. Restoration projects are paid for in stages, recouping VAT as they progress, helping with cash flow. Just as well £400k phase 1 @StMarysNantwich is due for completion by end March. Phase 2 now has £42k more to raise.

@chinmj I can’t seem to find anything on their website. We wait for an inevitable announcement.

@MBRoberts4004 @SteveChalke Widely used beyond the Brethren. Scofield wasn't Brethren. And v influential in promoting that dating
English
@Mark__Hart @SteveChalke So ? Who used it apart from the Brethren - any from the spacing it could imply the Gap theory. It is hardly mainstream
English
We were once told the Bible is very clear, slavery is legitimate, leadership is male, divorce equals exclusion, the earth is only 6,000 years old etc. Now those immature & abusive readings of the Bible’s texts have been dumped. So why do some still use it to exclude LGBT+ people?
English
@Mark__Hart @SteveChalke The Scofield bible does not put forward a young earth
English
@MBRoberts4004 @SteveChalke Long before that - it's all in the Scofield and Newberry Bibles
English
@SteveChalke But only after the publication of the Genesis Flood in 1961 and not before. And then only in some churches.

The question that's always at the back of my mind about 2064 is whether the last person still in the Church of England automatically gets to be Archbishop of Canterbury, by default as it were; or doesn't it work that way?
Madeleine Davies@MadsDavies
We looked at the 2019 forecast of ‘zero-member’ date of 2040 here, with the equivalent date for C of E put at 2064 (This doesn’t actually mean no members) churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2019/…
