John Tillotson: Works of Dr. John Tillotson, Late Archbishop of Canterbury. Vol. 10. - Christian Classics Ethereal Library

The Abp. also authored prayers for the private use of King William III, later published, and then adapted as family devotionals popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Appears in Family Prayer sections of the 1893 and 1928 American prayer books. A favorite of mine. ccel.org/ccel/tillots...

I wait all year for these glorious precious heirloom tangerines. Commercial production largely ceased in the 80s and 90s, but theyโ€™re still around

Beside the point but I donโ€™t understand this โ€œwhat if his identity suddenly changesโ€ concern. That hypothetical could happen to anyone. Least likely someone already committed to (ordained in!) a particular tradition. Some people are just brain dead.

The 1662 and You with Drew Keane

Host of The Living Church podcast displays an appalling lack of knowledge of the historical prayer books and English Reformation on an episode about the 1662. Indeed, admits to it up front.

Seemingly unaware, for example, MP and EP were intended as public services.

Camellias blooming in North Florida ๐Ÿ˜ tomorrow Iโ€™ll repent of it but today I am supremely proud of my little arrangement

Drives me nuts how some people, rather than internalizing the historical lessons of nazism, instead just use it as a yardstick to dismiss moral emergencies. โ€œCome on guys ICE isnโ€™t actually as bad as the gestapo, Trump isnโ€™t really hitler, itโ€™s fineโ€

Do the writers of these speeches ever stop to consider that the actual real life constituent nations of ~Western Civilization~ today hate their guts and hate Trumpโ€™s guts and think theyโ€™re all pathetic trash for following him

His videos helped us select hymns for my wedding. Heโ€™s great.

The state of furniture is lamentable. It wobbles and falls apart. It doesnโ€™t stay put, being composed of divers forms of light-weight plastic. The worldโ€™s last carpenter died in 2002.

College education is financially very accessible to the quite poor (who yet face other barriers) and the quite rich. And itโ€™s a massive millstone around the neck of everyone in between.

The hoops I have jumped through trying to find the football on this โ€œsmartโ€ tv subscription apps hellscape. But I did it, and weโ€™re seated. Just to spite republicans.

I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Hereโ€™s what I think Jesus got wrong.

Itโ€™s easy to hold the nation in contempt, both America historically and as a basic form of sociopolitical organization. Given the horrors of nationalism. Still, national democracy is what weโ€™ve got. Let us face our collective being as a people, and God grant us us grace to be a righteous people

It really would help if weโ€™d finally do away with the senseless technocratic nitpicking
