It was probably inevitable that people who think the Westminster Confession was dictated at the Sermon on the Mount would accuse the #ChurchOfScotland of apostasy. If anything, our new Book of Confessions affirms our #Reformed Catholicity. Liam, here, helped create the book

So, how's it going over on what used to be #Twitter? "If a billionaire bought one of your local haunts, renamed it, humiliated the employees, brought back many of the people who’d been banned for harassing other regulars, eliminated basic rules of decency, started having town halls with Republicans and a leader of the AfD, taking your business elsewhere would be perfectly rational. This is essentially what’s happened on X"

And that means... bullying Ukraine into a terrible deal which would give Russia Ukrainian territory, end sanctions on Russia, and provide Ukraine no meaningful security guarantees'

Words of #Jesus from tomorrow's Gospel: "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation" (Luke 6.24). Praying for all my fellow #preachers!

Standing outside a #hospital to harass people, and claiming you're only saying #prayers, is, frankly, blasphemy

#UK government #AI plans could lead to #water shortages, say water industry insiders. Ministers intend to give priority access to the #electricity grid for the giant #DataCentres. Voters will love this!

It's interesting that my #church has lots of online support and education for forms of #ministry- chaplains, readers, deacons, students, various ministers of Word and Sacrament except #retired ministers

The #FarRight in #America have been invoking Dietrich #Bonhoeffer to justify the #July6 attack on the Capitol and their #ChristianNationalism. It began with radio host Eric #Metaxas's risible book. It's sick, because Bonhoeffer lost his life resisting #Nazism. Now there's a petition, signed by #scholars, #church leaders and his family

I suspect this is a grave blunder by the government. #Greenpeace is right to describe #carbon capture as a second-rate solution, which will only prolong the life of the #oil and gas industry

@npub1xj8…egqe the article she links to from 1998 is astonishing

@npub15zu…s7lx that's good news. But it's incredible that it comes after a campaign to relegalize the barbaric practice

In the debate about Joe #Biden's mental state, this extract from an interview with #UK prime minister Keir #Starmer is interesting. Challenged directly on whether Biden is #senile, Starmer says the President was 'on really good form', very engaged with the issues during long discussions

#Catholic Church excommunicates Archbishop Carlo Maria #Vigano for schism. The ultra conservative critic of #Pope Francis was the #Vatican ambassador in Washington from Washington from 2011 to 2016. He's been associated with #COVID denial and #conspiracy theories
