Tomorrow dont fuck, cause Valentines is the day of purity (catholic precedent, for fallwell's proddie prodding: valentine offered council to newlyweds, his day was about chastity, about holding fast, and engaging in approite ethical situtations, so he is trying to respirtualise, so hes not totally off base)

a dozen examples of english actresses who played Liz I< with pictures, interviews, and fore/aft make up shots--including helen mirren, glenda jackson, judi dench, cate blanchett, and others..sinker started an ilx thread about this, and the site is fascinating.

fascinating example of conserative unvieralism. Chris Patterson, switched from sinners in a hand of an angry god, to we are all saved by the grace of a loving god--its a fight, about the nature of gods judgement, that happened with the concnetration of analysis vis a vis calvinism in the 17th century, and about the methodist/baptist/etc split a few decades years later, and the scofield/fosdick fight of the 1920s...so ive been waiting for another one to pop up, esp. with the heretic seeking that the protestant churches have been doing recently (cf the SBA)...whats interesting, is that Chris PAtterson's move to universalism lost him 90 per cent of his congreation, his teaching and preaching roles, his church, and his status (he met with Bush, he was a leader of the more promeinient black churches,etc ) I wonder about prosperity gospel preachers. who promise gods bounty, but require a convential realtionship that (may be/is) antiethtical to the genrousity of spirit that this requires. (work because it is good, because it is nessc., because it is required in the making of christian communities, and not because as children we should be rewarded by a mecurial parent) i havent done enough work on the actual hermeuntics of universialism, my theology runs on balls and guts, and so im not arguing anything but this is interesting on a soc. level.
