This is definitely worth a watch. Lots of key worship topics to consider - especially with regards to how we keep some continuity with the tradition of our early church family. Never a wasted conversation! Well done @gavinortlund

What would it have been like to attend a worship gathering in 150 AD? New video out today, recounting Justin Martyr's description and drawing implications. I am also going to make this one into a shorter animated video, Lord willing (will be a few months).

A day of solemnity and drama at this year's Commemoration of the Martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer in #Oxford.
English
Two things both the military and the church have in common. We find purpose through membership of a historic narrative, and we stand on the shoulders of giants.
Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.

@BruvverEccles Genuinely mate, have a great day 👍 praying that you flourish in your ministry as a member of His kingdom.

This unassuming patch of stones is the spiritual home of the ChurchofEngland. It was here that Thomas Cranmer gave his life so that all could meet Jesus as recorded in the Bible. To be Anglican is to find hope in the Bible like no other, and to discover one's true self in Christ.
English
@BruvverEccles @weejoy Both churches have problems. Both churches have amazing Christians who have done wonderfully faithfull things for God's kingdom 👍
English
@SJHull2 No, it is about 200 yards away.
Where Wycliffe preached, where the Martyrs were tried, where Laud reinstated ceremony, where Wesley found holiness, where Keble preached on National Apostasy, from where Newman crossed the Tiber.

@John_Reddick The irony of this entire post was that I was in Oxford leading a seminar on how inspirational Tolkien was. A great Catholic, and we probably would have disagreed on a few things, but I still would have brought him a drink and thanked him for his inspirational work.
English
@SJHull2 I was going to be very snarky about the Anglicans, but on reflection, it is something very like a miracle that so many magnificent Christians have come from that communion.
English
@_Leila Relics aren't my particular type of indulgence ;)
Though I did make a visit to Tolkien's grave, which whilst obviously not a relic, was really special. A great Catholic indeed and a big inspiration.
English
Interestingly a number have commented that because Cranmer recanted/erred some time before his execution, his sacrifice was devoid of principle. However a great Catholic scholar of the same city wrote of a character called Boromir ...worth looking into... he was certainly a hero

Always fun to lead a session on JRR Tolkien and moral courage. Especially within the halls of Magdalen College. Discussing how a strong sense of Duty can be the antidote to making moral decisions via mere passive emotivism.
English
@glenscrivener And no one addresses the dangers of blank slate anthropology better than Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. Existentialist apologetics would really show how lack of values doesn't lead to a self determinist utopia but rather a tyrannical horror. Nietzsche, our unlikely ally?
English
@SJHull2 Yeah I think one factor in whatever spiritual shift is happening right now is that the Rousseauean vision for humanity has overpromised & under delivered. “Anti-woke backlash” is one expression of this but it’s broader: a questioning of blank slate anthropology across the board.
English
You cannot separate your core beliefs and your identity, a 🧵: this video by Mindshift-Brandon makes the classic mistake of (ironically) believing that being non-religious is some kind of philosophically neutral middle ground...it's really not.
English
@glenscrivener Absolutely! It's like a strange inversion of original sin - original neutrality. In a world where we're learning that even AI has certain predispositions, it's even stranger to believe that humans maintain some moral neutrality. Both need saving from.
English
@SJHull2 Yes indeed. In my last two dialogues with atheists — with Alex and Stephen — the assumption of neutrality was all pervasive. I tried to point out its absurdity via history both times (of the west with Alex, and of humanity with Stephen).
English
@glenscrivener this feels like a similar misunderstanding regarding the importance of metaphysics that you recently encountered in a similar discussion.
English
In fact, without doing this, you can't in any way test "ideas" in the way this video is advocating - the thesis of this video only works if ethics could somehow be decided by using a calculator..
