American Export-odoxy

Posted in church geekery, uberfrum on 7 February 2008 - 2 אדר א' 5768

I’ve been following the attempt of a couple of American Orthodox to take over the SPCK bookstores in the UK. Over at Cartoon Church, Dave Walker has been a valiant reporter. (The above image links to his category on the topic.) Today’s post announces Further SSG / SPCK shop closures - staff sacked [...]

Just to be clear

ROCOR says:
This film is harmful to the spiritual health of our children (and to most adults as well), and thus we should avoid seeing it, or allowing our children to see it.

Exorcism Squads…

Posted in other paths, uberfrum on 18 January 2008 - 12 שבט 5768

Ruth tipped me off to an older story (from the end of last year): the Pope is set up “Exorcism Squads” in every diocese because, evidently, the RCs are being inundated with requests for Exorcism!
According to the the Telegraph, it seems “The Vatican is concerned that young people are being exposed to the influence of [...]

One reason to keep Moderation on…

Posted in uberfrum on 23 December 2007 - 15 טבת 5768

The charity some Christian readers show towards doubt is what keeps me Christian. Here’s a tasteful comment to my Advent VI meditation, received from someone who uses AOL (IP Address: 64.12.117.74), and so clearly has no idea that the internet tracks their clicks from this website (via Google reader) to my other website…

LXX?

Posted in Judaism, other paths, uberfrum on 19 December 2007 - 11 טבת 5768

Wednesday (before Sunset, anyway) was the 10th day of Tevet, a fast day in the Jewish religion. One of the things fasted for (in repentance) was the translation of the Torah into Greek - the Septuagint.
DovBear has posted an interesting discussion of the LXX, wondering why the Greek translation of the Torah [...]

Inculcate Hate

Posted in uberfrum on 12 December 2007 - 4 טבת 5768

Fr Tim has a couple of interesting posts about encouraging your children to seek out vocations in the church. His most recent post has two points that concern me:
1. Keep mainstream mass media out of the home, period. This will go a long way toward creating a prayerful, peaceful, joyful home.
2. Afford no [...]

The Nature of Our World

Posted in uberfrum on 10 December 2007 - 2 טבת 5768

I suggest Terra’s Episode 405 - Evilution: the filmmaker uses a video seminar from televangelist, convicted tax evader and federal prisoner Kent Hovind as a soundtrack to her work, speaking to Young Earth Creationism.
It comes off rather well as you can’t tell which side made the movie.
But I have a guess.

Walking Into a Manfield

Posted in Judaism, Teh Gay, uberfrum on 28 November 2007 - 19 כסלו 5768

One of the things I’ve learned in studying the Jewish approach to scripture, is that the Hebrew is Chock Full o’grammatical oddities, errors and glitches. In the explication of same, the Rabbinical Midrash can walk some curious side paths.
Over at DovBear, the Bray of Fundie (love that name!) shares some interesting commentary on a [...]
