Here's an idea for an invention: A thought-controlled air freshener. It makes scents when you think about it.
After the concert, the alien ambassador asked to meet the conductor. "Such harmonies! This entity is aware of Humanity's warfilled history, but hearing a choir work together like this makes it hard to believe you can also hate." "Had you been at rehearsals, you would believe."

The Church of England is the established Christian church in England. Our roots go back to the time of the Roman Empire, when the church came into existence in what was then the province of Britain. Find out more about our history at cofe.io/OurHistory.
@KingCrawa Well, somebody who held together the idea that ‘works cannot save us, only grace can’ and ‘obviously masses for the dead benefit them’ would quite clearly be very happy in Anglicanism. So we’ll say he’s the founder of Anglicanism and we’ll all go home happy.
Hi all -- so. Had I skipped my many years of learning Hebrew and Koine Greek, and a lifetime of engaging with the Bible and its historical contexts, and simply relied on Google Translate, this tweet too could have 3 mill views and be the most discussed faith tweet of the day.
In the Church of England what we believe is contained in our liturgical texts. A basic principle for our theological formation is lex orandi, lex credendi. Liturgy is not something exclusively for 'high-church' it is a basic access for practice for all Anglicans traditions.

I've just realised that Psalm 74:15 implies this is how God made the manna rain from heaven in the wilderness - by blowing up Leviathan: "Thou smotest the heads of Leviathan in pieces: and gavest him to be meat for the people in the wilderness."
#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

8) Ecclesiology: the study of small round pies, similar to turnovers, filled with currants and made from flaky pastry, named after a town in Lancashire.
Temple and Maclagan argue in Sæpius officio that the Roman Canon agrees with the Anglican position on the Eucharist but agrees scarcely with the Council of Trent. I think that counts as Archepiscopal backing for a Canon B5 variation.
