Baptist Pastor in Bad Ischl, Austria; General Secretary Austrian Baptist Union; at heart still a youth worker. Passionate about the local church, safeguarding and mission. British person in Austria, stumbling through learning Romanian.
Not wanting to excuse the ethical outworkings of this, but I personally get most frustrated with the big ministries and media telling everyday Christians how they have to think and believe about Israel, often with a lot of emotional pressure
I don't disagree; having a lot of said Christians in my local context I would also reflect there is a genuine desire to be faithful and also a fear of "cursing who God blesses"
Der heutige Falter Newsletter (Redaktion heute @sorayaloretta.bsky.social) berichtet von Sexismus gegenΓΌber Γrztinnen.
Was ich mich bei diesem Zitat frage: wenn man(n) so derartig ΓΌbergriffig mit einer Kollegin umgeht, was verhΓ€lt sich der Kollege mit (womΓΆglich bewusstlosen) Patientinnen?

Guys, I have found the ultimate expression of Anglican spirituality. Stations at Stations, on a steam-hauled service, led by a former bishop of Sodor and Man.

Ich denke eher "jo, kΓΆnnte ich noch so sagen, aber um mindestens ein Drittel kΓΌrzer und prΓ€gnanter"

Es geht ja gerade mit groΓem GetΓΆse diese Studie herum, dass Gen Z-MΓ€nner so furchtbar und frauenfeindlich sind.
Wenn man sich die Detailergebnisse anschaut, dann relativiert sich das doch deutlich.
Es gibt eine sehr groΓe Streuung unter den LΓ€ndern bei vielen Fragen.

such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"
Good morning
This evening's bible study on Romans 13,1-7 - four case studies to complicate things and a range of questions we would like to ask Paul back (and a really helpful exegesis of v6 from Wolter's EKK commentary)

"We are punching them when they are down. And we will continue. It is not a fair fight. Nor should it be." Wednesday, Pete Hegseth
Kind of Mr Hegseth to provide a foil for the introduction of my sermon on Sunday: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"
no, we are over 1000m too low for that.

As someone whose mother had dementia and whose father had MS, I found this by Ros Taylor (@rostaylor.bsky.social?) particularly resonant.
I have noted the relative dearth of "just war" commentary on the attacks on Iran. That which has been published (including a microbially thin piece by a member of the Israeli government) has been almost by rote, avoiding the classical mode of argument. Consent not even being manufactured.

This is an excellent and extremely informative listen for anyone, like me, whose understanding of Iran and of Middle-East dynamics in general is fairly superficial.
Not quite as bad as Dominic Raab not realising we were an island post Brexit
