I love the channel Ready to Harvest. This was a neat and thorough video looking at the very very small number of anabaptist church groups in the UK today. https://youtu.be/BJoTjDCAUDk?feature=shared I have long been under the impression that there have never been large numbers of Anabaptist Christi...

The obvious blame is on the seminary system itself. A healthy congregation produces its own leaders. I have attended quite a number of Catholic churches over the years. I don't recall ever attending a single one where the priest was even from the same region let alone same country as the congregant...

The obvious blame is on the seminary system itself. A healthy congregation produces its own leaders. I think you are entirely correct there. Most of my friends that went off to "Bible College" from high school came home wrecks. Some tried to "correct" the leadership when they ca...

Organisations tend to become ends into preserving themselves in the short term, and then become ends into preserving the salaries and short term prospects of their officers. This is known as the “principal-agent problem”. ''It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depen...

As to whether Jay is reliable and I am reliable is up to God and the Vatican, not anyone's opinion. ...

. I stand by my main thesis that you and S&T promote Reformed concepts that conflict with traditional Anabaptist doctrine. Departing from points of traditional Anabaptist doctrine is not necessarily a bad thing—I don't agree with them on everything either. What bothers me about the S&T appr...

The fact is any religion, regardless even of its truth, that ASKS of you is more likely to be supported than those that do not. People want to believe in something that is worthwhile. You strive through Marine boot camp precisely BECAUSE it is hard. That does not mean harder is better, and a religi...

This post strikes me as opinionated gossip rather than fact-based. Some additional information that is fact-based is essential to a complete picture as it were. I do know individual priests from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and even some who graduated from St. Mary's. They are not homosexual and ca...
