As the Marquis de Sade (yes, that Marquis de Sade) had it at the Bastille before he was removed shortly before it was stormed and demolished. From Simon Schama's Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution: If ever there was a justification for the Bastille, it was the Marquis de Sade. But if the crimes …

I didn't mean for it to be a response, but while putting together my post Mary, Protestant and Catholic the North American Anglican was busy with this topic with two posts: Mary in the Anglican Tradition by William Jenkins; and Another Look at St. Mary the Virgin in the Anglican Tradition by Richard Tarsitano, which is …

Revival Then, Revival Now: The Second Great Awakening and Megachurches

Making the Connection: Critics argue that megachurches use fog machines, loud music, and colored lights to create an experience that will make people feel emotionally and spiritually moved. Many argue that these emotional atmospheres are intended to make people feel emotionally connected with God and emphasize feelings of spirituality over issues of doctrine. Others accuse megachurches of attempting …

Leaving Old Ivy Behind for Kudzu (And Mesquite, and Palm Trees, and…)

I have to slap myself to believe I'm reading this: Yet while legacy universities dominate headlines, a transformation is taking place elsewhere, and it deserves more attention. Students are voting with their feet, abandoning the “colds and scolds” of the Northeast for more favorable climates—both intellectual and meteorological. This shift has extended to both public …

Liturgical Calendar UnPentecostal? Say It Isn’t So!

This morning I was regaled with a post from ourCOG (whose posts I have reviewed before) entitled "Strange Catholic Days in Pentecostalism." As is their habit, they've evidently cut and paste from other places, it's two pieces posted in one. To keep things simple I'll respond to the second. The post itself focuses on Ash …
