#Presbyterians - this you?
The #ChurchOfEngland lost Independents and Baptists, then the #Presbyterians at #Restoration. When #WilliamAndMary arrived 400 clergy & 6 #bishops refused #OathOfAllegiance as #James11 still lived
Ornate design in the style of a Christmas card. A white snow background is fringed at the top with Holly and tinsel and pine cones. On the centre, in large ornate gold letters, the words "Merry Christmas". Overlaid on top of all this is slem red saltire stretched from corner to corner. On the red is written "Banned in Scotland ... and part of Sligo"
Last night I learnt that #Calvinist #Scotland banned #Christmas in the #17thcentury.
Both my parents were #Irish #Presbyterians of Scottish descent. They celebrated #Xmas.
So tiday I asked my aged mother about anti-Xmas. Her family did Xmas, but the […]

Some Things to Know about #PCUSA #Presbyterians - an ADHD 🧵:
1. An American offshoot from the Church of Scotland, our origins are very Scottish.

#Presbyterians don’t commemorate the #AssumptionofMary but this does not mean we do not deny her special role in our faith, nor does it mean we do not respect the devotion of Catholics in their expression of faith

My theory: White #Presbyterians simply go along with fascism because they don’t want to make a fuss.
I grew up as a Presbyterian. It’s not like I believe in religion but my parents’ culture, embodied in that religion, was very hard to overcome.
I did, though.
Speak up!
#Christian voices?
More #Presbyterians and other #Christians must bravely speak truth to power with our #voices and bodies to end the Gaza genocide. This begins with #challenging #ChristianZionism and the leaders of our churches who remain complicit.

Someone asked me to recommend a movie that could explain my sense of #Christian #spirituality. I told her, #FriedGreenTomatoes
My grandparents were Spiritists, a Mormon, a Catholic. I was educated by Jesuits, worshipped with Lutherans, and lead #Presbyterians. I grew up with #Hawaiian gods
I gotta cousin who says to compromise. To "reach across the aisle" on the immigration issue. Who is all about the Christ. The people in the concentration camps are brethren too.
How do I "compromise"? How many Christs should I agree to let die on an ongoing basis?

#Presbyterians #ChristianNationalism
"The Presbyterian Church in America has voted resoundingly to condemn racial supremacy and commit to study Christian nationalism as it relates to the denomination's adopted confession of faith."
This may well be interesting for #PCUSA folks and other #Presbyterians
In the mid-1800s, northern farmers started moving into the area to establish dairy farms. They were enticed by low land prices, the result of land damaged by tobacco cultivation. #pwchistory #princewillliamcounty #nokesville #presbyterians
This was a fab interview and worth the time for everyone to watch and I'd really suggest it to #Presbyterians because there are a lot of connections here on RR"O" and how we function.
