    UMC top court says church trustees can't stop pastors from officiating same-sex weddings

    No surprise there. The UMC does not have congregational polity. One might expect trustees could prevail in a church with congregational polity like the UCC, but not in the UMC. Wouldn't the same principle apply in the Catholic Church that the actions of a Priest as overseen by his Bishop would...

    Trump jokes that he'd like to be the next pope

    I think he would make a great pope. Probably the greatest pope ever. There has never been anybody that would be a better pope. He already has a great screenprinter, the greatest ever, that can print "Make Christianity Great Again" on his zucchetto. But, he would have to be able to say mass. To...

    Reactions Please: Holy Humor Sunday

    Apparently it is a thing, albeit obscure perhaps. I ran across this today. As my wife reminds me, "Google is your friend." https://www.joyfulnoiseletter.com/hhsunday.asp I must say there was not any level on which it appealed to me. The funniest thing about the service was watching our new...

    Reactions Please: Holy Humor Sunday

    I have had it suggested to me that this might have been better posted in the Traditional Theology forum. I do not want it to be and hope there is no effort to move it. I purposefully posted it here for Anglican discussion with one invited non-Anglican guest who I respect as a scholar of church...

    Reactions Please: Holy Humor Sunday

    I invite my fellow Anglicans as well as my learned Orthodox friend @The Liturgist to share their experiences, knowledge, and or reactions to the subject of this thread. As you may recall, a couple of years ago I relocated resulting in a change from attending an Anglo-Catholic Episcopal parish...

    Wife of US Coast Guard member arrested on base over expired visa after security check for military housing

    It took a family member of mine nearly four years after marriage and thousands of dollars paid to an immigration attorney before the spouse's green card came through. Most Americans simply don't understand how complex and expensive things can be, which is why many people either fail at it or...

    White House displays lawn signs highlighting illegal immigrant crime

    All permissible as a matter of finances, availability, or preferences. As long as they don't wear a hat in church. Old rules: men uncover indoors. We all have to take a stand somewhere, and that is where I am making mine. :unitedstates: :) (Said as a bald guy who wears hats)

    White House displays lawn signs highlighting illegal immigrant crime

    Personally, I think the Fashion Police ought to have powers to deport a few people without due process. Tacky yard art can stay as a quaint part of Americana, I suppose. But when 47 has a rusted out Rolls up on blocks on the front lawn with weeds growing out of it, I reckon our descent into...

    White House displays lawn signs highlighting illegal immigrant crime

    Whatever one thinks about the validity of the message, I think it is just plain tacky to start hanging messages on the White House fence. Of course, it isn't any more tacky than wearing a ball cap with a dress suit. So, there is that.

    Concern for a Brother Who Has Abandoned the Church

    I am confused as to whether this person has abandoned the Church or has abandoned your church. I think there is a difference. There are people who think their iteration of Christianity is the repository of all that is true and good while other iterations of Christianity are in error and the...

    Trump suggests he’ll release Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list’ if elected: ‘I’d have no problem with it’

    I am doubtful such a list exists. It seems to me if I was involved in some nefarious activity, I would not keep a contact list labeled, "Fellow Perverts...Child Molesters...Teen Abusers" or the like. I would keep their names and numbers unlabeled along with those of my plumber, my yard boy, my...

    Christos Anesti!

    I reckon you may have a point in a small parish where congregants are few in number in the first place. In my case, the church whose response I referenced fills three services every Sunday. It is hard for me to accept that in a congregation large enough to fill three Sunday morning services...

    RFK Jr. announces intent to phase out synthetic food dyes

    I am just hoping RFK, Jr. doesn't go after orange dye in spray-on tans. The last thing we need is a pasty-looking POTUS. :sunglasses:
