I’ve decided to return to the land of the living (social media), but I’m doing it in That Other Place. I loved the connections I made on here and want to keep them up. Follow me over on BlueSky? spesincruce.bsky.social

@ddeanetheology Fascinating. To thicken the plot (and oversimplify somewhat): Barth resists attributing beatitude to Jesus. There is “no deep, inner, secret recess in which He is alone in Himself or with God, existing in stoical calm or mystic rapture apart from His fellows…” (CD III/2, 211)

@SpesInCruce maintained in Scheiermacher's concept of consciousness or it's transgressed, bringing him closer to Thomas' take? Please do share your findings on this as I'd love to learn more!

Does anyone know of comparisons/contrasts between Schleiermacher’s conception of God-consciousness and Thomas’ understanding of the incarnate Son’s beatific vision?

With great sadness, The United Church of Canada announces the death of The Very Rev. Dr. Lois M. Wilson, the denomination’s 28th Moderator, and the first woman to fill the role. She was 97 years old. Visit: ow.ly/hXBq50TnkpO [Photo: Michael Blair.] #UCCan

Saddened by the death of Lois Wilson—former @UnitedChurchCda Moderator, president of @Oikoumene, Canadian Senator, lifelong champion for justice, and faithful minister of the Church of God. She’s numbered among the saints forever.

@mikeywaters3 @Jasonbyassee “Soon.”

@SpesInCruce @Jasonbyassee Did you ask her when volume 3 releases

A cup-filling evening of worship at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church with @Jasonbyassee and Katherine Sonderegger last night.

She blessed us with a weighty word on Psalm 137:9. Yes. THAT verse.

Our next job is to state very clearly why this isn't just a tool like a calculator: a calculator does not attempt to displace the human capacity for speech

Another life.

Packing and finding treasures. This course—more aptly titled “Pure Protestantism According to David Demson”—was an absolute ride.

He ended up calling for EMS. Another @TTChelps worker arrived—clearly neither wanted to be there—and they spent the rest of the waiting time not-so-quietly rolling their eyes about the situation. Is this how you have trained and prepared your staff, @TTChelps? @BravoDavenport

After I insisted he call EMS, he then stood over the man and loudly told him that if he just got on a train, he “wouldn’t have to make a problem.”

I came across a man laying on the westbound platform at Dufferin station. He had an open gash on his face and told me he was withdrawing from meth. He indicated he needed medical help, so I called @TTChelps on one of the emergency phones on the platform.

@revnickphillips All the best with the move! You’ve got way further to go than I do!

@SpesInCruce I know your pain. We're packing up 15 years of "stuff" to move in a month's time. So. Many. Books.

Currently living every academic’s lingering nightmare: Moving.
