Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
The failure of of the ice maker in our refrigerator--which we thought premature--has led us to videos like this, where we found out we were blessed: https://youtu.be/iP1JwoRSTDs?si=YqFzkoXg_NRuffpz One of the brands mentioned as "not what they used to be" was Frigidaire. Fundie and fundie-adjacent types will recall the days when preachers--sweating, bawling and thumping the …

The Baptist News, of all places, makes this observation: Beneath the salacious headlines from the Anglican Church in North America lies a high-stakes battle about military chaplaincy. Although one of the nation’s smaller Christian denominations, the ACNA endorses a disproportionately massive share of United States military chaplains. And that has been a profit center for the Jurisdiction …

As we careen from one year of artificial intelligence combined with (and to some extent born out of) real stupidity, it's time to stop and take a look at the Anglican Church in North America, that rickety chandelier of an organisation mired with serious problems with its bishops, and three in particular. The matter of …

Many have come to the continental U.S., where they have been a part of my local church and my classes at the University …
The recent attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach (will our AG get the blame for it?) in Sydney is yet another tragedy of an attack on Jewish people. There are all kinds of explanation for this--and I'm sure Jewish apologists will avoid the one presented here--as to why this is taking place. It …

https://yandoo.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/against-a-world-government/ I've heard many Christian speakers--and their conspiracy theorist counterparts in non-Christian circles--rail against one world government, but this is one of those rare instances where the case against one is laid out in a simple, straightforward fashion.
This thing is almost surreal, now we are discovering the perpetrators: It is often said that “the first casualty when war comes is truth.” A criminal warrant just issued in Germany shows that war continues to claim its victims. However, this warrant could prove to be as great an indictment not just of the government …

This is the time of year when we give thanks (well, those of us who know to whom to give thanks) and put a wrap on another liturgical year. It's also the time of year when we commemorate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of those who has done so--and deservedly--is Robert F. …

As some of you know, I teach at Lee University in their new Engineering program. Recently I reserved a computer lab to administer a test, and was regaled with the above, from St. John Chrystostom's Pascal Homily. It was written on the white board (the students were amazed it was in cursive, I guess I …

It's done: In the absence of such repentance, we have been prayerfully advancing towards a future for faithful Anglicans, where the Bible is restored to the heart of the Communion. Today, that future has arrived. Our Gafcon Primates gathered this hour to fulfil our mandate to reform the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Jerusalem Statement of 2008. …
