Lost the post but my name is Serene (she/her).

I am about:

* Anglican resourcement and retrieval
* Reformational and Bible-focussed theology
* Inclusive orthodoxy, and the project of including LGBT ppl in the church

I also love photography, cooking, and writing, among other things ⚓️

It is weird how I have so much self hatred but also, I look at myself in the mirror and am astonished at how womanly and curvy I am

It’s loony

Estrogen is powerful

Anglicanism is often odd because there are so many Anglicans who wish to deny their theological heritage (not only in TEC) and yet it’s the most beautiful and enriching and wonderful thing

A treasure

It’s like sitting on a treasure that leads to Jesus and not wanting it ⚓️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A taxonomy of arguments, and why I'm pro-WO

But also this doesn't depend on a denial of Scripture, but an embrace of it, and what it so infallibly teaches.

I see such theology as being in the same tradition as that of William Wilberforce, Lemuel Haynes, Josephine Butler, Phillis Wheatley, F.D. Maurice, etc.

We should be every day, and on the last day we shall certainly be surprised at how much the Gospel truly turns things upside down.

I'm inclusively orthodox. The denial of there being gulf between the Biblical and apostolic faith and care for oppressed, marginalised, persecuted people is central to my everything.

A phenomenon I've encountered is people so used to my being traddy being confused when I do support "progressive" things. To the point multiple people have expressed their surprise at my supporting women's ordination. 😭 A lil thread explaining myself.

Women's Ordination is a glorious thing. As is the ordination of LGBTQ people. Recall Mary Magdalene. The first to preach the Gospel. There just isn't getting around that. It's GLORIOUS.

This is why I can work with the 2024 summary with major qualms. But dislike the 2022.

And I believe myself to be informed of messy realities.

It’s such a fraught topic emotionally I don’t like arguing it usually but want to be honest here about where I stand.

Serene ⚓ @serene1662.bsky.social · 23d

I don’t want to hash it out right now exactly and I respect people who disagree and are on other sides as me.

But regardless of methods for how, which can be debated, I believe abortion to be an ill that should be reduced in terms of occurrence.

My stance on this issue is firm I have to say.

Not without nuance, I don’t think, but firm. And borne of the same theology that sees me being anti-war, anti-death penalty, anti euthanasia/eugenics and generally opposed to violence.

I just want to be clear from the outset where I stand

Serene ⚓ @serene1662.bsky.social · 23d

Pluralistic usage of non-Christian prayer and Quaran readings in Christian services

I will never tolerate this

I don’t want to have an argument

Others responses are presently helping me (it won’t affect you, etc.) but I can’t be brought around to “it’s good”.

Tbh this isn’t going to go with me

I will never tolerate such things
