Où un texte antique est (encore) sauvé de la disparition par les petites manies d'un intello carolingien (Florus)

La lettre aux moines d'un évêque Valérien (qu'on n'est pas sûr d'identifier par ailleurs) n'avait jamais été rééditée depuis 1612… et elle avait un petit trou. C'est réparé

This archaelogical discovery would put the arrival of Christianity in Germany in the mid-3rd century, roughly half a century earlier than previously thought. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/archaeology/a64841409/silver-amulet-christianity-history/

Nearly 1700 years ago, in Nicea in 325, was held the First "Ecumenical Council".

When was the last time a new source was discovered about what was going on?…

Well, I don't know about before, but the last time was in 2019 when @CamilleGerzaguet and I edited, translated and studied Bishop Timothy's “Letter on Easter”, i.e. when and why Christians should celebrate it.

Today at #OxfordPatristics (plenary session), Camille Gerzaguet @CamilleGerzaguet will give an update on the

“Liber Timothei episcopi de Pascha”

a text I discovered and whose first ever edition we published together in 2019.

It's a previously unknown text written by a previously unknown author, in Anatolia, shortly before Nicea (325).

It's the only known text written by one of the people that heresiologists later called "protopaschites".

Peter Randolph was a Baptist minister. In his autobiography, he quotes Thomas Jefferson’s equation, the injustice of slavery + the justice of God = fearful times for the nation.

Jefferson is rightly held accountable for his complicity in slavery. It is fascinating however that many abolitionists ended up using his words to bolster their fight.

How can you work against injustices that would break the heart of a just God?

A #CradleCatholic. A #LapsedCatholic? I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. At around 4 years old, the church kicked out my mom & by extension, my family. I explored other practices & faiths, & I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, & a few ends of the world here I am. I am listening. Let's see where all this leads. #EarlyChurch #ChurchHistory #Theosis

A #CradleCatholic. A #LapsedCatholic? As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. I explored Protestant fellowships but soon began seeking "the deeper things" back in the lives of saints. This led to a deep dive into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. That church became tedious as well. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world here I am. I recently stumbled across a podcast called the #PopeFrancisGeneration. I'm intrigued. I am listening. Let's see where my current studies lead.

If my idea for the final project in the #Strathclyde postgraduate diploma program is accepted, I need to do #genealogy research on 59 men, who were officer in the English Reformed Church in #Amsterdam between 1700 and 1764. I am looking forward to it! Actually, I cannot wait to start... perhaps I can do some preparations during summer break?

I see that the Ancient World Mapping Center at UNC-CH has released "the latest item in its Maps for Texts series: Catholic and Donatist Bishoprics in North Africa around the Time of the Conference of Carthage, 411 C.E.".

List of Catholic-operated Native Boarding Schools in the United States, pre-1978, web resource.

"Our motivation for assembling this data was to provide a resource to help boarding school survivors, their descendants, Tribal Nations, and the Church itself navigate the history of Catholic involvement with Native boarding schools."

The Joseph Smith “Like a Lamb to the Slaughter” Narrative is Myth

When the mob storms the stairs, he and his company barricade the door to keep the mob out. Joseph takes his revolver and shoots through the crack in the door repeatedly, using up all the ammunition. He ends up hitting three of the mob, killing two.

Munn's United Church is another blink-and-miss-it congregation. One of the few surviving reminders of the lost village of Munn.
