All Things Will Be Made New

By Malgwyn | January 1, 2010

Final Setting - # 5.Why the need of the Second Coming of Jesus? This is not the first time I have been to three funerals in one year - two of which are family, an older brother and a younger sister. Wootton Bassett is very familiar having lived there for 10 years - and how [...]

The Meaning Of Christmas

By Malgwyn | December 30, 2009

Setting # 4.Carrying from my last post, Seeing Queen Elizabeth  in different settings, the informal as well as in splendour and majesty, very royal, leads me to think of another very surprising scene. Christmas time reminds us of Someone more special than Queen Elizabeth II. Thirty years down his road of life he was unrecognised. We [...]

The Episcopal Church In The USA Going Towards Demise

By Malgwyn | December 29, 2009

The Episcopal Church is winding down in America. Winding down in numbers: from 3.5 million in 1965 to 2 million today - “that’s a 43 percent drop from a year when the United States had about half as many people as it does today” - on the rolls that is. Attendance figures are considered to [...]

The Two Sides To Christmas

By Malgwyn | December 26, 2009

First - there is this take on last minute shopping. Charles Wesley is said to have written over 6000 hymns - this humorous adaptation of one of his most well-known hymns might represent the reality of Christmas in our Western world.
Come, Thou Unexpected Jesus (with apologies to Charles Wesley)
Come, Thou unexpected Jesus,
Interrupt our spending spree.
Shopping [...]

Was Jesus A Real Person?

By Malgwyn | November 12, 2009

It was not what I expected to see on the Daily Mail Website - and especially on ‘Best of The Web’ section. While not a subject he engages in it is a doubt that Dawkins implies in TGD, ‘which he would, wouldn’t he!’ But in this era of faith and science conflict it is a [...]

St Teresa’s Relics & Luther & The Reformation

By Malgwyn | October 11, 2009

St Teresa’s UK itinerary ends at Westminster tomorrow. I was saying in the last post that it is nearly 500 years since relics and the selling of indulgences split Europe in two, Catholic and Protestant. The 16th Century Reformation resulted from one man’s spiritual struggle, Martin Luther, over how we are put right with God.

Jesus’ Murder Squad!

By Malgwyn | August 16, 2009

I’ve been reading some bad news about what is happening to Christians in Iran  in the wake of the current political unrest. “Pressure on Iranian Christians is growing just as foreign powers are being blamed for rioting that broke out due to the electoral fraud. The argument on the influence of foreign powers is well [...]

Dawkins & Superstition III

By Malgwyn | July 31, 2009

A Resume of Martin Luther’s Change of Heart and How We are Put Right With God
In my immediate previous posts one and two I responded to Professor Dawkins’ view of what he understands as ‘a personal experience with God’ (TGD, p. 87-92), with my own contrary views. Here I will finish with my view [...]

A Scientist’s View on “Suffering and Death

By Malgwyn | May 26, 2009

A kind friend sent me a link - he thought I would appreciate the blog - and so I do. I can see I will be more than dipping into this blog. It leaves me a bit like when I read Darwin’s Black Box - I couldn’t put it down. While Behe did a good [...]

The Translation That Rocked the World

By Malgwyn | January 11, 2009

In the year of Darwin’s Bicentenary C. T. reminds us of another Book that rocked the world. Says C.T., “No other work has had as strong an impact on a nation’s development and heritage as has this Book.”
