    What NOT to Do in Church

    Really. Leaving the Catholic Church doesn't give us amnesia ( in my case, that amnesia would go back eighteen years!) and we do retain certain things. :)

    What NOT to Do in Church

    Yes! Do not, by any means, partake of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper without knowing about the policy not only of the church you visit, but also the policy of your own church in that situation! Do not interrupt the minister/ priest during his homily/ sermon and do nothing to draw...

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    Not at all, MC. It is an easy word to misread. :) I think I've cashed all possibilities of names that originated as offensive slurs. I could probably say " Puritan," but we know them as Congregationalists today. :)

    Good point, thanks.

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    I didn't even think about them. Would the label " Pietist" also have come from an unfriendly sneer, or did that name just naturally apply?

    Honestly, not one I can think of, Lammchen.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 4

    I am now on my way to the shower and thence to work, where I will ply my trade until 10:00 or 10:30 pm, after which I shall drive back home and eagerly search this site to see if any of the recent topics have had new posts added to it. I'm giving my Lutheran group on Facebook a little break...

    Age of Discovery ( inspired from Happy Columbus Day! Thread)

    I think they do and I'm pretty sure they list the beginning of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade as well.

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    Good point. Denominating ( naming) religious groups like that is important because it says something about the group, whether it be positive or negative. Even negative epithets can come to be regarded as positive terms ( given enough time).

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    Who knows. In point of fact, the term Anglican Catholic is already in use by a Continuing body.. http://www.anglicancatholic.org/

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    St. Francis of Assisi Anglican Catholic Church, maybe? :) Before I derail my own thread ( again), let's look into the beginnings of the term " Christian," itself. That seems to have been a snide term for people trying to be like " little Christs," for not conforming to the expectations of the...

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    I can think of the Quakers ( who are still officially the Religious Society of Friends, but they don't mind calling themselves Quakers now, apparently) and I think I read somewhere that the Roman Catholics had the term " Roman" applied to them as part of some " three branch theory"...

    Today's Appellations, Yesterday's Taunts

    I've noticed and think it interesting that so many denominational labels today are the results of yesterday's taunts by those outside the faith being described. Martin Luther did not want his movement named after him, but his opponents kept insisting on calling his disciples after him. After...

    What NOT to Do in Church

    Expressing doubts about a point of church doctrine that the church you visit holds to probably isn't a good idea, either. Oh, yeah, wear more than a loin cloth to church.

    Age of Discovery ( inspired from Happy Columbus Day! Thread)

    The Columbian Exchange greatly effected the agriculture of our planet, as things from the Americas were brought back to Europe and other things were taken from Europe and took root in the New World. This link will go into this Exchange in a little more depth...

    International Food

    When I was in college, I befriended a group of Japanese exchange students and I tried salted seaweed for the first ( and last time). Gross. They have other dishes that are awesome, but salted seaweed... no.
