Merry Christmas!
I just wanted to take a moment and wish any and all who might wander by here a very, merry Christmas. This is, of course, the season during which Christians celebrate the nativity of our Lord, the wonder of the Incarnation. But it has also become a broader American celebration of family. For those who [...]
Walking In My Shoes
I’m going to attempt to translate to words something that has long been coalescing in my heart and mind. As such I’ll probably express aspects of it poorly or in ways that are unintentionally difficult for anyone but me to grasp the intended meaning. My thoughts will probably also meander a bit, which I’m sure [...]
On the Incarnation of the Word 51 – No Longer Mind the Things of War
Now Athanasius is stressing the point that Christ is passing among all people everywhere, crossing all national and cultural boundaries, and drawing people away from their former gods. Moreover, he notes that the savagery of war and murders that has always reigned among people is being ended by Christ. Here is his closing statement in [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 17 – St. Cyprian of Carthage to St. Cornelius of Rome
Now we move right to the middle of the third century with St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage. Today, we’ll look at his letter to St. Cornelius, Bishop of Rome. (As an interesting side note that I’m not sure many Protestants know, the Latin papa (or pappa) meaning ‘father’ is the word that Romans in particular [...]

The Didache 33 – Coda
This post, You Cannot Be Too Gentle, captures much of the heart of what I was trying to say about even the difficult ground of reproof. The quote is short so I’ll reproduce it here. You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant [...]

The Didache 33 – Reprove One Another In Peace
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. And reprove one another, not in anger, but in peace, as you have it in the Gospel. But to anyone that acts amiss against another, let no one speak, nor let him hear anything from you until he repents. But your [...]
The Didache 20 – Who Causes You To Err?
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. See that no one causes you to err from this way of the Teaching, since apart from God it teaches you. The construction of the sentence above is awkward in this, probably more literal, translation. I’ve read a number of the [...]

The Didache 14 – No Schisms
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. Do not long for division, but rather bring those who contend to peace. Judge righteously, and do not respect persons in reproving for transgressions. You shall not be undecided whether or not it shall be. Division here, of course, means schism. [...]
