I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

From most of my life not in a historical church tradition, I think the fault with protestantism is that we're always ready to protest....over positions, people, music, budget, carpet color, and tertiary theological issues. I've lived through all of those.
Anglicanism values unity in the church so not easily having a split. It's not biblical to schism over those things, and one would hope Bible churches wouldn't keep doing that.
We have a church structure of deacons, priest, bishop, the biblical roles from the Greek words deacon, Presbyter, Episcopas), but with Christ as the head of the church, there's no top dog papa bishop.
@realcaseyrollins @jforseth210
We are a historical church and share so much in common with Roman Catholics. An Anglican service and a catholic mass feel very similar. I think the RCC will even accept Anglican (and Lutheran) priests (who if already married are the only married RC priests) .
At the same time, the church has theology shaped/corrected by the reformation. There's alignment on most things theological with anabaptist and Evangelical and non denominational, and even orthodox church traditions on all the primary issues.
It's a natural unifier.
@realcaseyrollins @jforseth210
Oh. A serious question. Fair enough, I threw that out there.
Anglicanism came out of a theological tradition of bridging the gap between Roman Catholics and Protestants,so it is a natural fit here. There's a... 3 legged stool that supports Anglicanism: Bible, Tradition, and Reason.
I typed a lot... Will break it into a few posts...
@jforseth210 not having watched the video, I'm hoping it was light hearted as a shirt and a productive conversation.
The real solution to the topic, of course, is for everyone to become Anglican. 😜

When you win a record low 17% of counties, lose Black & Hispanic support, lose 18/19 Bellwether Counties, lose Ohio, Florida, & Iowa — and lose 27/27 House "Toss-Ups" — but you shatter the popular vote record❗️

@VerdanuOsane@mstdn.io T-mobile tells me I can file an insurance claim and pay the deductible. Apparently their phones melting down on their own is treated as the customer's fault.
I am concerned the phone is going to burst into flames at I sleep tonight.
@VerdanuOsane@mstdn.io yes! Wild... Here's a photo of the melted charging cable. I'm using the phone.. Still smells like burning metal, don't have a device to take a photo of the melted inside of the charging area.
Wow. My #Samsung phone just started smoking and melted the charging cable and the charging port.

@realcaseyrollins @Meeper fear is different. We don't enter fight or fight with just any emotion. And the freeze phase of fear, complete immobilization, seems unique.
I keep going back to the (partial) quote from Dune: Fear is the Mind Killer.
@ReadyKilowatt wow. A letter to the editor that the author hates those he disagrees with under the title of Reading is Good.

Interesting . . . Trump margin of “defeat” in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM. Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself.(That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this)
