Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Rowan Williams' eyebrows are a blatant violation of the Regulative Principle of Worship? Would they be considered a circumstance, an element or an abomination?

They make me feel all creepy crawly.

In his earlier years, when his hair wasn't grey, +Rowan had a long lack pony tail ... and he dressed all in black with a large cross around his neck. That was a blatant violation of good taste.

Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right."

That's funny. I'm forever mixing up Rowan Williams with Rowan Atkinson and to be honest I wish the Anglican Church would do the same - just swap them out. That would be so cool. Rowan Atkinson even has the eyebrow thing going.




If you have 9 and a half minutes that you never need again, watch this skit of Mr. Bean in church. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

This is entertaining.

Hey Casey, I was thinking of you this morning. I was reading about that poor teacher from England who just wanted to teach Sudanese children. When she was ratted out for letting the kids name a Teddy Bear Mohammed the religion of peace wants her executed.

Anyway, can you imagine what would happen if the Presbyterians found out you named your hamster (or gerbil or chinchilla, or whatever that little rodent thing was) John Calvin?

I've said too much haven't I. Oh no, there's an angry mob forming. Run Casey, run!

Good job, Bob, you've found an excuse to use the new "Oops!" smilie!

That was a high quality chinchilla, good at chewing rubber buttons off remotes and through electric cords . . er, webs of bad theology.

Hmm . . . . is it still a "smilie" if it's not smiling?

Bob,

That is a photo of Rowan Williams??? I thought it was Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series. Note the eyebrows on Albus Dumbledore. I rest my case.

Besides, like Dumbledore, Williams will need some powerful "magic" to get him out of the jam Anglicianism is in currently. By the way, I think that Katharine Jefferts Schori of the Episcopal Church in the USA is really Dolores Umbridge, the Defense Against the Black Arts teacher of the most recent movie.
