In this episode of Your Employment Matters, Beverly Williams welcomes a very special guest, Mr. Richard Hooker Jr., a union leader, and officer. Together, they discuss the importance of collaborative negotiation in employment disputes, particularly in today's post-COVID world. As the Principal Officer of Teamsters Local 623, Richard is responsible for its 4,500 members. He makes sure that they receive protection, fair pay and good work conditions. His goals are to change the mindset of management and employees and to bring dignity and respect back in the workplace. “We just went through one of the most difficult times of our history, and America had to depend on its workers to make it through.” - Richard Hooker Jr. Some of the issues in today's workplace discussed are: Union leaderships The Great Resignation led to people losing jobs without a backup Contentious strikes and dragged-out negotiations During the pandemic, the world realized how vital laborers are to keeping society running, and how they deserve fair contracts and compensation. When employees don't have a highly specialized or in-demand skill, they aren't in a position to make demands or have job security, because they can be easily replaced. This is why Richard is advocating for Unions, so workers can have the protection they need. The employer-employee relationship is still a relationship. Both sides have their expectations, needs, and non-negotiables. There has to be a balance, a way to reach win-win situations without great losses. This episode explores why this balance is necessary, yet tricky to reach.

The lads hop in a chopper and get into some morally dubious hijinks as they cover Robert Altman's 1970 war/frat house comedy that inspired one of the most well-regarded TV shows of all time: M*A*S*H. Topics include Eliot Gould's mustache, rampant 70s misogyny, and what it means to live in a country that can only define itself by settler conquest. Want more TWOAPW?

Everybody today talks about the polarization of America. We're caught up in reactivity and this creates an anxiety that seeps into churches today. Where can we turn for wisdom? The Reformed Anglican theologian Richard Hooker. Dr. Brad Littlejohn joins us to talk about how Hooker navigated tensions within the Reformation between Presbyterians and Episcopalians as how this informs our modern day gridlock. We also discuss Hooker's desire to combine the best of both Protestant theology and Catholic liturgical practices as a means of Reformation. Finally, we talk about the pitfalls of radicalism and hubris in reform movements during times of social change and upheaval.

About the Talk Can a moral or divine law independent of contingency accommodate the social and economic complexities of circumstance? Does a defense of custom necessarily repudiate the idea of immutable law applicable to all peoples and cultures? Is transcendent universality and spontaneous order reconcilable? This episode explores this age-old tension with reference to the intellectual origins of liberalism and conservatism. These ideologies are often said to derive from the French Revolution, but their roots trace back even further to the tension between reason and custom in the early modern period. Thinkers and jurists such as Richard Hooker, Edward Coke, and Matthew Hale defended custom for embodying the distilled wisdom of the generations, while the social contractarian tradition placed heavy stress on universal rationality and legislative sovereignty to instantiate the principles of individual autonomy and equality in civil society based on abstract reason. During the pamphlet wars in England over the Revolution, Edmund Burke, considered to be the godfather of conservatism, expanded on such early endorsements of custom to defend the cultural inheritance of European civilization. On the other hand, Richard Price and Thomas Paine, among various adversaries of Burke, intensified the early contractarians' emphasis on abstract reason to support the Revolution and attack Burke's defense of custom and just prejudice. This episode thus examines whether proto-conservatives, spanning from Hooker to Burke, and proto-liberals, spanning from Hobbes to Paine, persuasively harmonized their embrace of a universal moral law with their recognition of the complexity of social life. This inquiry will illustrate how the intellectual origins of conservatism and liberalism were premised on varying presuppositions about the sinful nature of man and the epistemological constraints of individual knowledge. The Guest Gregory M. Collins is a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science and Program on Ethics, Politics, and Economics at Yale University. His book on Edmund Burke's economic thought, titled Commerce and Manners in Edmund Burke's Political Economy, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2020. Greg's scholarly and teaching interests include the history of political thought, the philosophical and ethical implications of political economy, American political development, constitutional theory and practice, and the political theory of abolition. He has published articles on Burke's economic thought in Review of Politics; Adam Smith's imperial political and economic thought in History of Political Thought; Burke's and Smith's views on Britain's East India Company and monopoly in Journal of the History of Economic Thought; Frederick Douglass' constitutional theory in American Political Thought; Burke's plan for the abolition of the slave trade in Slavery & Abolition; and Burke's intellectual relationship with Leo Strauss and the Straussian political tradition in Perspectives on Political Science. Greg won the 2020 Novak Award, awarded annually by the Acton Institute to one young scholar who conducts research on the intersection of liberty and virtue. His current book project is a study of the idea of civil society in African-American political, social, and economic thought.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
In 2013 and 2018, UPS workers were forced to accept contracts that failed to protect them and that created a growing underclass. In 2023, the rank-and-file are refusing to accept less than what they need. As the end of their current contract on July 31 grows near, workers across the nation are organizing strike captains, educating workers and holding practice pickets. UPS employs 340,000 people and is responsible for 6% of the nation's GDP. Clearing the FOG speaks to Richard Hooker, Jr., of Teamsters Local 623 in Philadelphia. Richard has been leading the fight for a decent contract. He speaks about the current working conditions, the workers' demands and why this fight is critical for all workers.

M*A*S*H (an acronym for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) is an American war comedy drama television series that aired on CBS from September 17, 1972 to February 28, 1983. It was developed by Larry Gelbart as the first original spin-off series adapted from the 1970 feature film M*A*S*H, which, in turn, was based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The series, which was produced with 20th Century Fox Television for CBS, follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the "4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital" in Uijeongbu, South Korea, during the Korean War (1950–53). (straight from the Wikipedia)M*A*S*H is a show that really does it all. It runs the gamut of whimsy (Corporal Klinger and his antics, Hawkeye makes up a Captain and hijinks ensue) to very serious (the whole cast had very weird dreams in one episode about the effects of the war on their minds, Hawkeye and Trapper help a soldier realize that he is horribly racist and needs to get over that real quick and stop being terrible). It is an incredible show that ran for so long and is absolutely worth watching again and again. Even 40 years later, the finale is still the most watched non-live television program, even beating out the OJ verdict.Oh yeah, Boy Meets WorldThe Boys get ready to dive into another episode of Boy Meets World this week as they rewatch "What a Drag." Was it actually a drag? I guess you will have to listen to find out.Also Cameron finally did the math, and Cory bought over 7 million cubic centimeters of cork. No way that is fitting in their apartment.
Richard Hooker defends the religious and political settlement of Elizabethan England using rational arguments and appeals to the natural law.

A debate between Jonathan Leeman and Brad Littlejohn on "Religious Liberty and the Common Good," hosted by Colorado Christian University (www.ccu.edu). Christianity in America faces dire threats from two directions. On the one hand, unfriendly government bureaucrats and downright hostile woke activists are tightening the screws on Christians' freedom of worship, expression, and conscience. At the same time, churches themselves are not immune to the profound crisis of authority that has engulfed our public life, and the reflexive “me and my rights” individualism that has undermined the very concept of institutional norms and the common good. How can we stand up for authentic religious liberty in an age of license and moral chaos? And on what basis should we advocate in the public square for policies that protect the church? Different Protestant traditions have offered sharply different understandings of the relationship between individual conscience, the institutional church, and the responsibility of civil government. Jonathan Leeman is the editorial director for 9Marks. After doing undergraduate and graduate degrees in political science, Jonathan began his career in journalism where he worked as an editor for an international economics magazine in Washington, D.C. Since his call to ministry, Jonathan has earned a master of divinity and a Ph.D. in theology and worked as an interim pastor. Today he edits the 9Marks series of books as well as the 9Marks Journal and is the co-host of Pastors Talk. He has written for a number of publications and is the author or editor of a number of books. Jonathan lives with his wife and four daughters in a suburb of Washington, DC and serves as an elder at Cheverly Baptist Church. He teaches adjunctively at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Reformed Theological Seminary.

A lecture with Q&A by Dr. Brad Littlejohn at the 2022 Florida Regional Convivium entitled "On Naming the World: Education as Dominion-taking."

Vascular Origin Stories is a podcast series that explores the fun and engaging stories that shaped vascular surgery. Today's episode will be the first part of a multi-episode series exploring how the young battalion surgeons serving in MASH units in the Korean war pioneered wartime vascular repair. This episode introduces the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH), as well as some of the real-life stories from the surgeons unknowingly changing the field of medicine, which inspired the hit movie and TV series M*A*S*H. We'll look at what caused arterial repair to be removed from the army surgical handbook after WWI and how changing medical education helped create the environment for ingenuity in the MASH units. In part 2, we'll explore in detail the individual stories of adversity, courage, and perseverance that led to the re-introduction of arterial repair in the military.

Affratellati - si fa per dire - dalla "luna di Kiev" di Gianni Rodari, oggi ci spingiamo ad affrontare un tema vecchio quanto il mondo partendo dal saggio di James Hillman: "Un terribile amore per la guerra" e concludendo con "Vita e destino" di Vassily Grossman, grande affresco sulla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In mezzo, altri libri ci parlano di altre guerre: "Come cavalli che dormono in piedi" (Paolo Rumiz), "Uno scrittore in guerra" (Vassily Grossman), "M.A.S.H." di Richard Hooker e "L'arte della guerra" di Sun Tzu. Un episodio da ascoltare con una precauzione presa in prestito da Rodari: "Ci sono cose da non fare mai, né di giorno né di notte, né per mare né per terra: per esempio, la guerra!"
Book Vs. Movie: MASHThe Richard Hooker book Vs the Robert Altman Film (with some of the long-running TV series mixed in)MASH was one of the most popular and iconic television shows of the 70s and 80s (the reruns are still happening all over the globe!). Richard Hooker(nee Hiester Richard Hornberger) based the 1968 novel on his experiences in the Korean War as a surgeon. The novel filled with crazy antics, drinking, and a satire of the U.S. Army fit well in a time when the Viet Nam War was dividing America. Characters like Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John, and Hot Lips Houlihan will sound familiar to fans of the series (though they behave differently.) You also meet “the Painless Pole,” Ho-Jon, and Duke Forrest in a series of vignettes that make up the novel. It's hard NOT to picture adapting this book as you read it. Robert Altman directed the 1970 film and it is a very different beast than what was broadcast on television. Starring Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould, the film is profane, chaotic, modern-looking, and has some very problematic things attached to it. So, between the original story and the 1970 film-which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss:The popularity of MASH around the worldHow the Viet Nam War is a stand-in for the Korean WarThe differences between the book and the movie and how much the author hated itThe cast: Donald Sutherland (Hawkeye Pierce,) Elliott Gould (Trapper,) Tom Skerrit (Duke Forrest,) Sally Kellerman (Margaret Houlihan,) Robert Duvall (Frank Burns,) Roger Bowen (Henry Blake,) Rene Auberjonois (Father Mulcahy,) Jo Ann Pflug (Dish,) John Schuck (The Painless Pole,) and Gary Burghoff as Radar O'Reilly.

Content Warning: On this episode of Global Voices, we speak with global security expert, Dr. Joseph Collins, a 9/11 survivor who was inside the building when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) military headquarters. Join us and listen to his incredible story of survival, tragedy, and heroism. Dr. Collins also sheds light on the aftermath of 9/11 and how the U.S. response to the attacks, had calamitous effects on Afghanistan, and may have inadvertently contributed to the Taliban's strategic rise after 20 years occupation. We discuss Dr. Collins' illustrious career and contributions to the field of global security. Dr. Collins served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Stability Operations, the Pentagon's senior civilian official for peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and stabilization and reconstruction operations. A retired Army Colonel, he worked for DoD for over 40 years in and out of uniform. A practitioner and academic, Dr. Collins worked as a professor at the National Defense University, directing the Center for Complex Operations, and teaching at the National War College faculty, among other teaching positions. He was a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where he did research on economic sanctions, military culture, and national security policy. In 1998, Dr. Collins retired from the U. S. Army as a Colonel after nearly 28 years of military service. His Army years were equally divided among infantry and armor assignments in the United States, South Korea, and Germany; teaching at West Point in the Department of Social Sciences; and a series of assignments in the Pentagon. His Washington assignments included service on the Army staff, the Joint Staff, and in the policy division of the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Dr. Collins has also taught as adjunct faculty in the graduate divisions of Columbia University and Georgetown University. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Inst. of Strategic Studies. He holds a doctorate in Political Science from Columbia University. He is also an honor graduate of the Army's Command and General Staff College and holds a diploma from the National War College. His publications include books and articles on the Soviet war in Afghanistan, Operation Desert Storm, contemporary U.S. military culture, defense transformation, and homeland defense. His latest books are Understanding War in Afghanistan, published by the NDU Press in the summer of 2011; and (with Richard Hooker et al.) Lessons Encountered: Learning from the Long War, published by NDU Press in 2015.

This week we discuss Richard Hooker's ideology of the "Three Legged Stool." We discuss how Scripture, Tradition, and Reason should be used when discerning church practice in our world today.
Today we're joined by the most special guest, the Rev. Polk Van Zandt! If you recognize that last name, its because he's the father of our very own Mary Balfour! Before we pick up with Numbers next week, we wanted to take some time out to talk about how we connect scripture with our lives. Questions for reflection this week: - How can we better understand scripture by learning with and from others? - How do you try to incorporate scripture into your daily life?

Part II -- Protestantism and Prudence: Richard Hooker as a Founding Father of Conservatism National Conservatism, with its commitment to conserving the identities, cultures, and sovereignty of independent nations, is built upon the Anglo-American conservative tradition, spanning centuries. Many of America's conservative Founding Fathers were shape by three key seedbeds of national conservatism -- the English common law, the Protestant Reformation, and the conservative Enlightenment. In this lecture, our Senior Fellow Brad Littlejohn traces Richard Hooker’s powerful account of how conservative principles like respect for the rule of law and insistence on gradualistic reform arise not out of a reactionary love for the status quo but a sober realism about the limitations of human knowledge and the dangers of unfettered idealism. We will also discover how Hooker’s Protestantism led him to defend the good of independent nations against all globalizing projects for universal human betterment. To deepen our understanding of these critical principals and moments, the Edmund Burke Foundation is excited to offer this 4-part series on the "Foundations of National Conservatism," as a free online seminar series. The inaugural series will be led by EBF Senior Fellow Dr. Bradford Littlejohn.

Part 3 of my multi-part series on Natural Law and your God-given rights. Topics discussed: President Biden's warning to the American people of their “two options”: Get your shot or wear the mask. Is this legal and should you obey? What is the difference between a just, legal law, and an unjust, illegal law, and what can help you make that determination? The powers and the limitations of the Legislative Branch. Examples of Biblical heroes who resisted laws that violated their God-given rights. Quotes from John Locke and Richard Hooker describing the legislative process, and the difference between just and unjust laws. The importance of spiritual exercise, and using discretion for Christians to determine what laws should be obeyed, and what laws should be resisted. The importance of conscience and its unfortunate disappearance in our day and age. Why Christians must not be indifferent to government's over reach of their civil and religious liberties.

Richard Hooker: "My eager protestations, made in the glory of my ghostly strength, I am ashamed of; but those crystal tears, wherewith my sin and weakness was bewailed, have procured my endless joy; my strength hath been my ruin, and my fall my stay." Frank Limehouse (March 7, 2010): "I can't tell you what the Devil looks like. In my own mind he wears red tights, has horns and a tail and carries a pitchfork. Other than in the Garden of Eden, in which he is described as crafty and subtle; and Ezekiel, who tells us he was perfect in beauty, I cannot talk so much about what the devil looks like. But we can talk about how the devil operates. St. Peter said, “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Interestingly, the devil doesn't come at you only where you're weak. He's very interested in your gifts and strengths. This is where we are most vulnerable. The woman with a charming smile is tempted to “get away with murder.” The salesman with the gift of persuasion, is often tempted to “take ‘em for what they're worth.” God, on the other hand, is most interested in what? Your weaknesses. The Lord said to Paul ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'…"
A lecture and Q&A session by Davenant Institute President Dr. Bradford Littlejohn entitled "Pride, Prejudice, and Precisianism: Richard Hooker on Why We Can't Get Along." American society today is polarized in the most intense ideological conflict for generations. The pandemic, anti-racism riots, and election of 2020 have all intensified the sense that that although we share a nation, many of us feel we live in a different country to our neighbours. The violence on Capitol Hill which began 2021 only proved this point further. In many quarters, the church has been swept up into these conflicts. Disagreements over recent events and "how we got here" have threatened to split congregations and denominations, especially for any who have long resided somewhere under the label of evangelicalism. Where does this conflict come from, and why does it seem to take on a life of its own? How can Christians diagnose and defuse the sources of conflict, while also standing up for principles that are worth fighting for? In this lecture, Dr. Bradford Littlejohn will use the striking insights of sixteenth-century theologian and political philosopher Richard Hooker to shed a spotlight on how we can get carried away by our convictions into ideological and political wars of mutually assured destruction - and how we can find our way out of them. Thanks to The Chapel of the Cross in Dallas, TX for inviting Dr. Littlejohn to lecture on these topics last September.

Church and State: The Importance of Corporate Worship and Submission to the Governing Authorities by William Klock I spent this week preparing a sermon for the Sunday after Epiphany, a sermon about the young Jesus in Jerusalem after the Passover and Mary and Joseph searching for him frantically, perhaps with the naïve hope that the health order shutting our churches would be lifted this week. With the order extended for another month, it seems appropriate to address that subject instead. Like every church, you all have a variety of opinions on how we should be dealing with the pandemic and with the current health orders. I’ll say at the outset that I’m thankful you’ve been pretty gracious in dealing with differences. This has been a difficult time for pastors, caught between demands that we obey government orders (or even go beyond them) and others demanding we defy orders. I’ve lost count of the pastors I know who have been fired for making the “wrong” choice or who have simply broken down and quit. I am not looking forward to the aftermath to come, because there will likely be a lot of split churches in future. In our own church, we’ve lost one person who, apparently, felt we should be continuing with our normal activities, despite health orders, and we’ve lost a couple of people who were upset that we continued meeting in the Spring and didn’t impose our own mask order in the absence of one from the province. I’m not a doctor and neither is anyone else in our congregation. Health experts, like our Provincial Health Officer, are there—even given emergency dictatorial powers—for a reason. They’re qualified to address these issues. No one here is qualified to make these decision and so we abide by the orders and guidelines given by those who are. If the experts issuing health orders, for example, leave the wearing of masks up to private judgement, a pastor or vestry with no medical expertise has no business ordering they be worn, binding the conscience of believers, and effectively excommunicating anyone whose private judgement dictates otherwise. If the health officials tell us we must wear masks indoors, we will—not because I or the vestry thinks it’s a good idea and issues an order for the church, but because those in authority in the government who are qualified to issue such orders have told us to and as good Christians we submit to the civil magistrate. Now, that said—and I’ll come back to this issue of obedience to the civil magistrate later—I think it’s important to address these issues. And here’s how I’m going to address it today. First, I want to look at ecclesiology. Ecclesiology is the branch of theology that deals with the church—ekklesia is the Greek word for “church”—and so this branch of theology addresses who and what we are, what we do, and how we do it. Our ecclesiology answers important questions like “What does it mean for the Church to gather?”, “Do we have to do it in person?”, “Can our gatherings be ‘virtual’?”. Things like that. Second, we need to look at our political theology. How does the Church relate to the State and the State to the Church? Where does the authority of one begin and the other end? What do we do when they overlap or seem to be in conflict? And, finally, we’ll bring this back to our current situation, which has been complicated by a broad failure of the Church to adequately address these issues. So, first, ecclesiology. The greatest failure, I think, has been here. It’s not surprising. For generations a large swath of Evangelicals has downplayed theology. Get a group of pastors together and try to recite the Creed and most can’t do it. I’ve been sitting there more than once when it happened. So it’s no surprise when the people sitting in the pews are theologically illiterate. Ecclesiology was one of the great subjects of the Protestant Reformation, but we’ve reached a point where we’ve got pastors who don’t even know what the word means. A big part of the problem is that for the many years—especially since the 1970s—Evangelicals have been doing church, not based on well-thought-out ecclesiology, but on pragmatic principles—based on whatever will get the biggest number of butts in the pews or reach the biggest number of people, but a great deal of what we’ve done has undermined the integrity of the Church. We’ve downplayed commitment and sacrifice and submission to the Lordship of Jesus, while turning the faith into a therapeutic and private spiritual hobby that we do by ourselves. And the problem is that when something like the coronavirus hits us, we have nothing solid on which to base our response—or, as we’ve seen, we fall back on the faulty, unbiblical foundations we’ve been building for the last fifty years. It’s sad, but not surprising that a church that for decades has promoted the idea—whether overtly or not—that you can “go to church” in front of the TV in your pajamas and with your coffee, has so quickly adopted this “virtual church” model. Consider that in the Spring, almost every church in British Columbia stopped in-person services. The fifty-person cap imposed on us certainly made things difficult for larger churches, but we’ve since seen that it’s not an insurmountable problem. Our Roman brothers and sisters, for example, understanding how important it is for the Church to gather in person, eventually worked out a system of two services a day, six days a week. For many churches like ours, the limit posed no problem at all. But most churches didn’t even try. Most simply went to some kind of “virtual” model. Now most understood that this was a stop-gap measure, that this isn’t how things are supposed to be. That said, however, there have been quite a few pastors failing to make this distinction and even some touting it as a “new normal” that’s better than what we had before. I fear what the fallout will be. I can no longer count of the number of people who have said something like, “I don’t know that I’ll ever go back. It’s so much easier and comfortable to watch at home and I can do it at the time I want” or “This has been such a blessing. We don’t have to get the kids ready for church. Hubby and I can just watch in peace while they play. This is so much better.” And all of this is reinforcing that old half-truth as I hear people say repeatedly, “The Church is not a building,” by which they mean that gathered, public worship is not of the essence of the Church. The polls being done in recent months say that when this is over, church attendance will be down something like 30%, either because people will be watching from home or will simply have dropped out after months (or a year) of non-attendance. That’s a staggering and tragic number and those who shut down when they didn’t have to are big contributors. Brothers and Sisters, in-person worship is part of the essence of the Church. It is not an optional add-on to something we otherwise do privately. Let me go back to that statement that the Church is not a building. I said it’s half true. It’s true that the Church is the people, not the building. But the statement is misleading. To be the Church, the people have to meet together and that requires a place, whether it’s a cathedral, a storefront, a house, or the shade of a great tree on an African plain. You see, there’s no such thing as an ecclesiological vacuum. If we don’t take the time to develop a biblical ecclesiology or at least to listen to our forefathers in the faith who worked out a biblical ecclesiology at great length, some kind of half-biblical and poorly-thought-out ecclesiology will fill the vacuum—and as this pandemic has put pressure on the Church, this is exactly what’s been revealed. So what does the Bible say about the Church? A year’s worth of sermons could easily develop to answer that question, but I’ll try to answer it briefly here. Let me go back to that statement that the Church is not a building. There’s a reason why church buildings are so closely associated with the people who are the Church, that we’ve come to refer to both as “church”. To gather together in some place established for that gathering is of the essence of the Church. Consider the very word “Church”. The Greek word used in the New Testament is one you’ve heard before: ekklesia. The word literally means “assembly” and the New Testament writers use it to describe both the people who assemble and the assembly of those people—pretty much exactly parallel to the way we use “church” to refer to God’s people assembling together and the assembly of God’s people. But the key here is the assembly. The ekklesia does not exists apart from the assembly. The members can go off to their own homes, to their work and other affairs and be apart from each other, but they remain the ekklesia, because they are the part of the assembly when it gathers together. The church is defined by its physical gathering for corporate worship. It’s defined by other things as well, most importantly our union with Jesus, but it’s also defined by its nature as a gathered people. There’s no such thing as a loner Christian. A person who, due to extraordinary circumstances can no longer be part of our corporate gathering—say they’ve had to move into a nursing home—remains a part of the Church, because they’ve been part of the assembly. But you can’t be part of the Church if you’ve never been a regular part of the assembly. This is part of the problem with so-called “virtual church”. It may serve as an emergency stop-gap in times like our own, it may even be a good thing in that respect, but it’s not “church”. It’s the church doing its best to maintain connection and some kind of venue for teaching and worship in extreme circumstances. But if virtual church—whether today’s livestreams or the TV broadcasts we’ve had for decades—are all you’ve ever been part of, you’re not part of the church. This has always been the danger of the broadcast church and it’s why responsible evangelism, while it may use these methods to reach unbelievers, always stresses the need for those it connects with by TV, radio, or Internet to join the physical gathering of the local church and to take part in the very physical sacraments, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, that mark God’s people out as his own, as the Church. We see this gathering, this physical coming together, throughout the New Testament. We don’t have time to look at all or even most of those passages, but let’s look at a couple of them. First, let’s look at St. Luke’s description of the Church just after Pentecost. Acts 2:42-46: And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts. Fellowship, together, attending. These are the sorts of words that characterize the Church through the New Testament. It’s in our name, because it’s what we do. Those early brothers and sisters were known for gathering together to hear the apostles, to fellowship, and to worship together. They shared common meals as part of their gatherings and, in those early days, the Lord’s Supper was part of those meals, not merely a ritual meal as it is for most today. All of this requires presence. And, Luke says, they were devoted to it. That word “devoted” in verse 42 is something we might pass over, but it’s vitally important, particularly today. Even before the pandemic, many Christians showed a lack of devotion to the gathering of the Church. There will always be occasional necessities, travels, illnesses that prevent our attendance, but Luke’s description here should prompt us to ask if we’re really devoted. Do we prioritise gathering with the Church to worship on Sundays? Or is it something we do when we don’t have something else to do? Does our devotion inform our other commitments? There are lots of competing options these days. Do sports or clubs take us away from the Church? Sometimes it’s a more subtle sort of competition. Do we neglect things that need to be done in preparation for Monday, leaving them to the last minute so that we end up missing church to get them done? Do we do things on Saturday (or Saturday night) that we know will leave us exhausted and unwilling or unprepared to get up for church on Sunday? Maybe we know getting the kids ready will be a hassle on Sunday morning, but we neglect to do everything we can to prepare them Saturday night. These are all things that reflect our priorities. In the pandemic we might look at things like our non-church activities that expose us to infection and raise our risk of passing the virus to others when we gather together. If I have to limit the number of people I’m around during the week, I want to do everything I can to prioritise my activities so that I can safely include the Church in that limited circle of people. The other passage I’d like us to look at is Hebrew 10:24-25: And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. First, notice how the gathering of the saints together has a familial aspect to it. We gather to exhort and to encourage one another in the faith. It’s a means by which we love each other and put that love on display for the sake of the world. In a day when Christianity has largely morphed into an individualistic and private affair—me, my Bible, and Jesus—the writer of Hebrews reminds us that that is not the nature of Christianity. As St. Paul tells us multiple times, we are part of a body. That body requires all of its parts to function and each of the parts requires the body to survive. And, it’s important to note, that this comes here in Hebrews as an apostolic command. Do not neglect to meet together. Like the command to keep the Sabbath, this doesn’t mean that we’ve sinned by missing church due to some necessity. There are good reasons sometimes. You may be ill. There may be some emergency. For some few who might be at truly great risk in our current situation, there may be good reason to stay at home. There may be a health order issued by the government. There are sometimes good reasons to miss the assembly or even to cancel the assembly for a Sunday or for a short season, but we may not neglect it without such a good reason. And, I think it’s important to add in light of what has happened across our province, it is wrong for church leaders to deprive the saints of the opportunity to gather, short of such a reason. It is one thing for members of the Church, in their private judgement and assessing their own risk, to absent themselves by choice. It is another thing entirely for the pastor or the vestry or even the bishop to suspend the church’s services, depriving the people of the sacraments and the opportunity to gather for worship. This is, I think, a grievous wrong. It is one thing if necessity or emergency dictates it. Perhaps a wildfire surrounds us or an earthquake has made it impossible to gather or the governmental health authority issues an order closing churches, but absent such a situation, the leaders of a church must at least offer the opportunity to gather to the people of the church. Finally, the New Testament puts the Lord’s Supper at the centre of our worship, alongside the preaching of the word. You can, as you are now, watch a recording or a livestream of a sermon, but the Lord’s Supper requires physical presence as much as it requires physical bread and physical wine. Sadly, we’ve even muddled this up today. I’ve watched pastors on livestreams send people to the kitchen to get “something to drink and some kind of bread”, even if it’s orange juice and Doritos. I watched one pastor pantomime the Lord’s Supper, pretending to drink from a pretend chalice and to eat pretend bread, and then pretending to pass it through the computer screen. Some in our own tradition have taken to distributing pre-consecrated bread and wine for people to eat during the livestream of a service and others who think they can consecrate bread and wine in someone’s home via the Internet. None of these things is the Lord’s Supper. The key to the Lord’s Supper is not the consecration of the elements. When Jesus blessed the bread and wine, he was giving a simple blessing as we do over our own meals, giving thanks to God. The bread and wine don’t change into something else to make the Lord’s Supper the Lord’s Supper. The key to the Lord’s Supper, just as it was the key its precursor, the Passover, is the presence of the family, the people of God, gathered to share in a meal by which we participate in the death and resurrection of Jesus, in the events by which he has delivered generation after generation of believers from the bondage of sin and death and made us a new people. You cannot celebrate the Lord’s Supper alone. Like the Passover, it requires the gathering of the family around the Table, physical presence, to eat real bread and to drink real wine. People have said to me, “It’s unfair. We don’t get Communion, but you can have it whenever you want!” Brothers and Sister, that’s not true. I know there are ministers who do that, but for me to celebrate the Lord’s Supper with my own family in private would be an abuse of the sacrament. It would be like the father depriving his family of food while he eats himself. No, your fast is my fast and I will eat the Lord’s Supper for the first time again with all of you, when we’re allowed to meet again together. So now that we’ve established that gathering together is essential to being the Church, what authority does the State have to restrict our gatherings? Does it have any authority at all to do this? Most churches have exposed a dearth of thinking about ecclesiology, but in the last few months a few pastors have been preaching things more or less along the lines of “Jesus is the Lord of the Church and the State has no right to tell us what we can or can’t do!” Some of you have forwarded links to those sermons to me. This is a problem, too. I admire their willingness to take a stand—and at some point in future that kind of stand may be necessary—but at this point in time, these guys are ignoring half a millennium of well-developed Protestant political theology. These arguments claiming that the State has no authority over the Church are all rooted in a misunderstand or misapplication of principles of political theology that go all the way back to Martin Luther and the Reformers. Before the Reformation, the Church claimed authority over everything: the Church, the Family, the State…everything. The Reformers changed that. Luther wrote of “three estates”: “But of holy orders and true religious institutions established by God are these three: the office of priest, the estate of marriage, the civil government.”[1] In other words, what Luther is saying is that God has established three orders or spheres of governance in the world: the Family, the Church, and the State. More recently, the Dutch statesman and theologian, Abraham Kuyper, developed a similar and related idea known as “sphere sovereignty”. The idea being—and it’s a biblically grounded one, as was Luther’s—that these God ordained “spheres” such as Family, Church, and State each have their own authority. Kuyper’s “sphere sovereignty” has held a major place in Protestant Reformed Theology in the last century, so it’s not surprising that a lot of these sorts of sermons are coming from that quarter. So I think most everyone can agree that there are God-ordained spheres or estates, each with its own authority, but apart from the Old Testament law, which was unique to Israel, the Bible doesn’t draw crisp, clean circles around these spheres the way some folks today would like to think. That would make things easier on paper, but it would lead to chaos in the real world. The problem is that in the real world the spheres overlap. So it’s easy to look at our current situation and declare that the State has no authority to suspend church services, but in reality none of us actually believes that. There are all sorts of situations in which civil authorities can legitimately interfere with our services. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms recognizes the freedom to peaceably assemble, but the Charter also includes what is known as the “reasonable limits” clause, which recognizes that these rights are not absolute. So when it comes to something like our doctrine, there is a very clear boundary between the authority of the Church and the authority of the State. The Minister of Health, for example, has no authority to dictate to us what our doctrine is or should be. He would be seriously overstepping his authority to try tell us we should believe this or that as justification for closing our churches, for example, saying that “virtual church” is just as good as regular church. That’s a matter of doctrine. But in other matters, the State may intrude on the Church’s sphere. The State has no say in how a church chooses or ordains pastors, but there are circumstances—say I was caught embezzling funds—in which the State can rightly bar a guilty clergyman from his job. We readily accept that the civil authorities can put occupancy limits on our building for reasons of public safety and noise restrictions on our musical activities so that we don’t become a public noise nuisance. We accept that the fire marshal or building inspector can close our building due to safety concerns. That happened right here in 1974, when the cenotaph was dedicated. They wanted to hold a dedicatory service in the building, but the building was in such disrepair that the Fire Chief barred them from using it. That Fire Chief was Lawrence Burns, a man most of you know as a devoted Christian and leader in the local church. In times of war, the State may restrict how and when a church may meet. During the Blitz, Londoners were barred from churches after dark, lest the light become a target. Plague and pestilence have—until now—been such a thing of the past that most of us have forgotten that the Church has addressed these issues for us already. Richard Baxter, one of the finest of the Puritans, wrote this in his catechism: Question 109: May we omit church-assemblies on the Lord’s day, if the magistrate forbid them? Answer: 1. It is one thing to forbid them for a time, upon some special cause, (as infection by pestilence, fire, war, etc.) and another to forbid them statedly or profanely. It is one thing to omit them for a time, and another to do it ordinarily. It is one thing to omit them in formal obedience to the law; and another thing to omit them in prudence, or for necessity, because we cannot keep them. The assembly and the circumstances of the assembly must be distinguished. (1) If the magistrate for a greater good, (as the common safety,) forbid church-assemblies in a time of pestilence, assault of enemies, or fire, or the like necessity, it is a duty to obey him. 1. Because positive duties give place to those great natural duties which are their end: so Christ justified himself and his disciples’ violation of the external rest of the sabbath. ‘For the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.’ 2. Because affirmatives bind not ‘ad semper,’ and out-of-season duties become sins. 3. Because one Lord’s day or assembly is not to be preferred before many, which by the omission of that one are like to be obtained….”[2] Notice, first, that Baxter acknowledges the authority of the State overlaps that of the Church here. The civil magistrate has every right to impose limits or rules or even to suspend our gathering if it is justified in doing so for public health and safety. As Baxter quotes Jesus, the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Baxter also reminds us that while a sin is always a sin—in other words, when God commands, “Thou shalt not murder,” there is never any circumstance in which it is okay to murder—the same is not always true of God’s positive commands. We are obligated to gather together, and doing so should be normative, but there will be times when it’s okay not to. Think again of the Sabbath. Israel was commanded to keep the Sabbath, but that didn’t mean leaving your donkey in a ditch or your son down a well to do so. The command to keep the Sabbath is not absolute in the way the commands not to murder or not to commit adultery are. And, finally, he points out that it may be prudent to suspend Sunday worship for a short time if not doing so would mean having to suspend it for a longer time. I think that’s particularly applicable in our current situation—or at least it is potentially so. Now, Baxter’s catechism never had any official authority in any ecclesiastical jurisdiction, so let me quote a short bit of the Augsburg Confession, which is one of the formularies of the Lutheran Churches: Article XXVIII: Of Ecclesiastical Power … Therefore the power of the Church and the civil power must not be confounded. The power of the Church has its own commission to teach the Gospel and to administer the Sacraments. Let it not break into the office of another; let it not transfer the kingdoms of this world; let it not abrogate the laws of civil rulers; let it not abolish lawful obedience; let it not interfere with judgments concerning civil ordinances or contracts; let it not prescribe laws to civil rulers concerning the form of the Commonwealth…. There are aspects of the civil magistrate’s authority that rightly and justly overlap the authority of the Church and—with some exceptions amongst the Anabaptists—Protestants have always recognized this. This is part of the practical outworking of St. Paul’s exhortation in Romans 13 to be subject to the governing authorities: Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. (Romans 13:1-2) Are there circumstance in which Christians may or are even required to disobey the civil magistrate? Of course there are. But this isn’t one of them. If the magistrate were requiring we do something sinful—say offering a pinch of incense to Caesar—we would be bound to disobey. But suspending church services for a limited period of time because of a pandemic is not one of those situations. It is not a sin to cancel our corporate worship out of necessity. Now, finally, what if we disagree with the health orders? Let me approach this from two angles. First, there’s been a lot of talk about these health orders and the persecution of the Church—as if our government is hostile to Christians. Something like that may be going on in other jurisdictions, but it’s just plain foolish to think that in British Columbia. First, our Health Minister and our Premier are both church-goers. They belong to very liberal churches that we would likely consider heretical in belief, but they are “religious people” and they’ve made it clear that they value religion and even “church”. Second, the health orders in BC target everyone, not just Christians. We haven’t been singled out. I think it’s important to stop the persecution talk right now. That may really come someday, but it’s not now. But, let’s say these orders were unfairly aimed at churches. I think the best test to determine whether or not that’s the case is to look at what’s happening with theatres and concerts. Is the government allowing theatres to operate? Can people gather for a concert? In terms of a pandemic, those venues are comparable to a church service. If churches were ordered closed, but theatres were still open, we’d probably have just cause to claim persecution or, at least, that we’re being unjustly targeted. But that’s not the case in British Columbia. I know it seems stupid that you can’t go to church, but you can still buy liquor and dope, but the fact is that shopping—whatever your shopping for—is a less risky situation than sitting in a room full of people for an hour or two. But if we perceived the health orders to be imposing an unjust bias on us, would we be justified in engaging in civil disobedience as some are doing? No. Here’s why. Scripture obligates us to be subject to the governing authorities. That means that we must first avail ourselves of the means of redress that our system of government has provided—and it has provided them. We can contact our MLA. We can write to our Premier, our Health Minister, and—while they haven’t made it easy—even our Provincial Health Officer. If that doesn’t get us anywhere, we have recourse to the Courts. These are all avenues that we need to exhaust before we can justifiably engage in civil disobedience when the issue at stake is not one that involves sin. If we did otherwise, we would be disregarding Scripture’s command to be subject to the governing authorities, and that would be a problem. Why is this important? Consider how our relation with the civil authorities impacts our witness as Christians. This is what lies behind most of what the New Testament has to say on the subject. Paul urged Timothy to pray for those in authority. The idea, he writes, is that we “lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” Christians should not be known for creating chaos and constantly raging against the civil authorities. Paul similarly wrote to Titus Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. (Titus 3:1-2) Paul hits some of us close to home. It’s easy to quarrel about these things and it’s easy to cross the line from legitimate and godly criticism and into speaking evil. I know the struggle, but struggle we must. This is part of our witness. Peter, in particular, addresses that aspect of it: Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. (1 Peter 3:13-15) Christians are the last people who should be known as trouble-makers. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stand up for our rights, but it does mean we need to make sure that when we do, we do it in the least disruptive and most gracious way possible. And that gets to the final point I want to make. Part of what’s going on in BC is our own fault and we need to own that. The day before this “social lockdown” was put in place, Adrian Dix and Bonnie Henry held one of their conference calls with “faith leaders”. In that call they thanked religious communities for having done such a good job. There had been no issues with public religious gatherings when the protocols they’d given were followed. This is why so many were shocked when, the next day, the health order issued shut us down. Archbishop Miller, the senior Roman prelate in BC, wrote a letter of protest. A law professor at UBC wrote a letter stating that this kind of action was likely unconstitutional. You can’t suspend a charter right without good reason and none had been given. When Dix and Henry responded, it was to say that with the goal of keeping businesses and schools open, they were curtailing what they deemed to be “social” activities. This makes sense to an extent. We’ve seen that most business and educational activities haven’t posed great threats. Community spread was happening largely in social gatherings and that’s what they targeted. The problem is that churches had proved ourselves safe and low-risk and the authorities admitted that freely literally the day before. When confronted about this the next week in a press conference, Henry brushed it off, rightly pointing out that social gatherings have been a problem, but then unjustifiably lumping public religious gatherings into the same general category. Legally, the authorities need to provide some kind of reasonable evidence that our services are a credible threat to public health before curtailing them, but that has never been done. This is a point that could be challenged in court, but it’s unlikely to go anywhere. Why? Because the vast majority of Christians in British Columbia sent a clear message back in the Spring. The health authorities permitted us to meet with caps on attendance nd with safety measure in place, but the vast majority of churches shut down anyway. When other jurisdictions were ordering churches closed, the authorities here, knowing how important our public gatherings are—or, at least, should be—allowed us to continue to meet. I was overjoyed at the time. We were one of the few Reformed Episcopal Churches on the continent still meeting during March and April and May, because our health authorities knew it was important we be able to meet. And yet what happened? Every other church in the Comox Valley closed its doors and the same happened across the province. We were handed a great privilege and were in a unique situation in North America—and most Christians in BC threw it away. The church at large in BC sent a message to our authorities, who had bent over backwards so that we could continue to meet, that the corporate gathering of the saints isn’t really that important after all. And that, I think, is a good reason for us to be circumspect in our protest. The majority of our church leaders, our brothers, and our sisters have sent a message to the government that it’s okay for the government to shut us down without demonstrating that we pose a threat to public health. And so the response from the government and the response from the public to protest and to the churches that are defying the orders is something like, “Stop being trouble-makers. Physical gatherings aren’t that big of a deal—see all the churches that shut down even though we didn’t ask them to. The Church isn’t a building.” And our witness goes down in flames. I don’t have all the answers as to how we rebuild from here. It will take a lot of wisdom and a lot of wise Christians working together. It will take the education of the Church at large. Consider, I’ve said nothing here that is new or that’s my own novel interpretation. Everything I’ve said this morning is what the Church has been saying for hundreds of years. The problem is that much of the Church has stopped listening to our forefathers, to our history, to our own doctrinal formularies. Brothers and Sisters, we need to pray for our leaders, for our community, and for the larger church. And we need to be faithful in our witness to the best of our ability. This means being good citizens under the current circumstances. I think it’s also a time in which the Lord is reminding us that there’s more to being the Church than gathering on Sunday mornings. We aren’t able to do that, but there are so many other things we can be doing to witness Jesus to the world—things that we haven’t done very well in the past when we were meeting regularly together. Some words of that great Anglican divine, Richard Hooker, are fitting. He wrote at a time when there was a great deal of contention and quarreling going on in the Church of England and this is what he wrote: In the meantime, shall there be no doings? Hardly! There are the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These things we ought to do; and these things, while we contend about less, we leave undone. Happy those whom the Lord comes and finds doing them instead of quarreling…[3] Friends, we cannot meet together, but we can be faithful in witnessing the justice and mercy of the kingdom and I can’t think of a time when the world needs that witness more than it does now. Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, we come to you this morning, a people dispersed by order of our government and pray for your mercy. Deliver us from this time of sickness, give wisdom to our leaders that they might deal with us justly, and restore us to our fellowship. Fill us with wisdom and grace, we ask, that we might respond to our governing authorities with humility and work for the reformation of your church with all godliness. We ask this through Jesus our Lord. Amen. [1] Luther’s Works, 37:365 [2] A Christian Directory, pp. 870-872. [3] The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity in Modern English, Preface.vi.5.

This week we have a recording of a lecture delivered at the 2020 ASSA meetings in San Diego. At that conference, the association of Christian economists sponsored two sessions, and the one I will highlight here was a series of talks on Adam Smith and religion. The session was co-sponsored by the History of Economics Society. In this episode, I will share the lecture by Paul Oslington about Adam Smith's writing about the economics of religion. Oslington argues that while Smith did not formulate a comprehensive theory of the economics of religion, that if you gather his writing about the state church, religious competition, clergy pay, and related topics, a surprisingly sophisticated account emerges. For those of you who are interested in Adam Smith's thinking, or in the economics of religion, this short talk will be intriguing. Paul Oslington is a longtime member of the Association of Christian Economics, is a member of the editorial board for Faith & Economics, and is an important name for those working at the intersection of economics and theology. He is currently Dean of Business and professor of economics at Alphacrucis College in Sydney Australia. This lecture comes out of a chapter that was written for the Routledge Handbook of Economic Theology. (https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Economic-Theology/Schwarzkopf/p/book/9781138288850) An early draft of this chapter can be found here. (http://christianeconomists.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Oslington-Smith-Economics-of-the-Church-ASSA-2020.pdf) Abstract: Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations provides an economic analysis of the provision of religious education and aspects of the church, picking up on his friend David Hume's discussion of church establishment in his History of England. Smith and Hume of course are not alone, for economic arguments about church establishment, toleration of other religious groups, financial support of clergy, and related issues, were deployed by Richard Hooker, William Warburton, William Paley, Josiah Tucker, Jeremy Bentham, Edmund Burke, Richard Whately, Thomas Chalmers, and others. Their philosophical framework and arguments, however are quite different to those employed in the contemporary rational choice economics of religion. Smith argues, against Hume, for the virtues of religious competition, for voluntary contributions alongside state support of religion, and limited democracy in relation to church appointments. A properly constituted religious market Smith suggests will generate benefits for society. Smith's arguments about religious competition are connected to his larger philosophical framework, in particular his understanding of the fall and divine providence.

Welcome to Waterville, Maine! Despite its simple name, it is surrounded by places that Keith can't pronounce. It is situated on the Kennebec River and was originally settled by the Canibas tribe of the Abenaki people. It was burned in 1692 during King William's War, and was subsequently abandoned by the tribe. Waterville was incorporated in 1802. Early industries included fishing, lumber, agriculture and boat building. Waterville is also home to Thomas College and Colby College. Notable resident, Heister Richard Hornberger, Jr, wrote the novel, MASH, under the pseudonym Richard Hooker. He sold the rights to the film for just a few hundred dollars... yep. Bad move. Let's see if we can keep from "pulling a Hornberger" in this latest episode.
Who is Jesus? Is he human? Is he God? Something inbetween? In this episode we consider the topic of Christology - the person and work of Jesus - from Article 2 of the 39 Articles.

By Jason Jiménez In 1830, upon arriving to North America from France, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “The religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more I perceived the great political consequences resulting from this new state of things. In France, I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America, I found they were intimately united and that they reigned in common over the same country.”[1] The Constitution of North Carolina (1776) proclaims: “…all men have a natural and unalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences.”[2] It is astonishing to think that despite all the evidence indicating our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian truths, America continues to reject the obvious. Many of the secular advancements to replace religious discussion from the public square come from employing “separation of church and state” and the First Amendment as legal principles penned by Jefferson. Secularists (non-religious) want us to believe that Jefferson allegedly supported the idea that there was no place for any religious reference among the citizenry and that religious disturbance was not to be tolerated in the public affairs of life. They incite these false views and misrepresentation of the facts because they want us to buy into the lie that America has always been a secular nation. However, contrary to popular belief, what we actually find in history is quite a different story regarding Jefferson’s viewpoints and the role Christianity played in shaping America. With historical objectivity as our guide, let us settle the truth about the “separation of church and state” once and for all. Who Phrased the Infamous Phrase? In reference to the phrase “a wall of separation between church and state,” we can indeed attribute that to Thomas Jefferson. However, we must do so in the proper context. Jefferson was not the originator of this phrase, but it was actually used as a famous metaphor by ministers in England in the 1500s, and eventually in America in the 1600s. After periods of state control and corruption of religion, an early Methodist bishop by the name of Charles Galloway insisted that there ought not to be any intrusion of governmental matters with ecclesiastical ones. Rev. Richard Hooker was actually the first to use the phrase, “separation of…Church and Commonwealth” under the reign of King Henry VIII of England. (The phrase “separation of church and state” originated from the Pilgrims’ religious flight from England under the ecclesiastical supremacy of Queen Elizabeth). The Pilgrims fled to Holland and eventually settled in America where they stressed that the government had no right to “compel religion, to plant churches by power, and to force a submission to the ecclesiastical government by laws and penalties.”[3] Therefore, the purpose of separation was always to protect the church from interference by the government – not to protect the government from the church. What Did Our Founders Believe? The First Amendment is essentially divided up into two clauses. The first being the Establishment Clause: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion;” and the second being the Free Exercise Clause: “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” But what exactly is the intended meaning of words like “establishment,” “religion,” “prohibit,” and “free exercise?” Well, the Framers made it abundantly clear from the start that Congress, not individual states, is limited in its capacity to establish, exercise, and even disestablish a state-run religion. Additionally, the Establishment Clause is the one that prohibits Congress from having jurisdiction or enforcement over...

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, yep it is our 2nd birthday episode. We wish to say thank you to everyone who listens to us. We really appreciate all the support and encouragement we have received. It has been an amazing experience that we have all enjoyed on the Nerds team. Well, here is to another year of Nerdity and fun, we hope you enjoy everything as we continue to look for those items we enjoy learning about and discussing. First up this week Buck brings us news that Global Warming is being slowed by a phenomenon known as Global Greening. Apparently all the carbon emissions have provided a positive impact for the trees and plants. Now, this is only a small impact and not enough to celebrate with street parties, but still it is some good news. So with this news coming to light and in the wake of the recent bushfires in Australia it might be a good idea to plant some trees or bushes to help the environment. If nothing else it will give the computers and consoles a break for an hour or two. Next up DJ has the first reactions to the new Dune movie, and it is looking promising. Of course Professor and Buck being the fans they are have some reservations, but are excited to see the latest offering when it is released. There is the usual discussion about who might be the best option for director, what were the failures in the previous movies; and what were the successes from them as well. But hopefully one day an offering will be presented that is worthy of Frank Herbert’s legendary work. DJ continues with a discussion on the impact of the Coronavirus on the Chinese film industry. There have been major disruptions in the Chinese economy and a large section of the industry is on hold while China tries to combat this epidemic. We discuss the broad effects of this, but we wish everyone well and hope that this is contained and treated soon. Professor has a list of 14 new games that are planned to be released this next fiscal year by EA. We have a look at the offerings and discuss what we think is the most exciting or interesting of these releases. Now it might interest you to know that what we found as the most interesting games to look forward to. We will tell you, to find out listen in and learn what are the games being released that Professor is most interested to see. Also what game Buck thinks should move across to the EA studio catalogue; and what he thinks is an approach to the new Battlefield game if the crew behind Star Citizen were involved. As usual we have the Shout outs, Remembrances, Birthdays, and Events of Interest for the week. We invite you to check out MySongsSuck, with our man Alex Smith. Also there is there offering of The Story Chunder, which is sure to delight some and perchance disgust others. As always remember to take care of yourselves, look out for each other, and stay hydrated.Global Greening - https://phys.org/news/2020-01-planet-greener-global.html - https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-019-0001-x First reaction to the new Dune movie are out -https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/01/30/early-reactions-to-denis-villeneuves-dune-describe-it-as-phenomenal-compared-to-lord-of-the-rings/Next victim of the coronavirus hitlist…the Chinese film industry -https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/chinas-film-industry-takes-stock-market-beating-as-trading-resumes-coronavirus-crisis-1275718EA’s plan for 2020…. release 14 games - https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-01-31-ea-planning-to-publish-14-games-next-fiscal-yearGames PlayedProfessor– Quake - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2310/QUAKE/ Rating – 2.5/5Buck– Hero Wars - https://www.facebook.com/herowarsgame/Rating – 1.5/5DJ– Ironsight - https://store.steampowered.com/app/715220/Ironsight/Rating – 2/5Other topics discussedOne climate change prediction being wrong - https://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/11/12/one-of-the-longest-running-climate-prediction-blunders-has-disappeared-from-the-internet/Gulf Stream (warm and swift Atlanticocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and stretches to the tip of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States and Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean as the North Atlantic Current.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream2019 Ozone Hole is the smallest since its smallest- https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2019/2019-ozone-hole-is-the-smallest-on-record-since-its-discoveryWorld’s tallest timber tower in Norway- https://www.dezeen.com/2019/03/19/mjostarne-worlds-tallest-timber-tower-voll-arkitekter-norway/One way to curb climate change: suck carbon from the sky - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/01/carbon-capture-trees-atmosphere-climate-change/Petra (originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu, is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan.

Ms. Higgins Clark, whose books have sold more than 100 million copies in the United States alone, was still writing until recently, her daughter said, and had a book published in November. Her heroes were most often female, her villains male, and she said that she wrote about “nice people whose lives are invaded.” There are, however, two things that won’t be found in her books — sex and profanity — and that choice was deliberate. “Let others decide whether or not I’m a good writer,” she said. “I know I’m a good Irish storyteller.” She passed away at Naples, Florida at the age of 92. - 3 February 1995 – Astronaut Eileen Collins becomes the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle as mission STS-63 gets underway from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. - https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/feb-3-1995-astronaut-eileen-collins-at-the-pilots-station-on-shuttle-discoveryEileen M.

The successful rendezvous without docking brought Discovery to within 37 feet of the Mir; these flights through the Shuttle-Mir Program prepared the way for the International Space Station.- 3 Febuary 2020 – Supernova 2020 coming to Adelaide - https://twitter.com/SupanovaExpo/status/1224125683351183360?s=20Supanova will indeed be returning to Adelaide in 2020! After popular demand from the fans Supanova is going back to basics to bring a show that focuses predominantly on our Supa-Stars, and less on the extras that haven’t resonated as well with fans in S.A. Their return to Adelaide also sees a change to the scheduling of our Brisbane show, which will now run from 6-8 November 2020, with Adelaide the following weekend.- 3 February 2020 – Gene Reynolds passes away - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gene-reynolds-dead-mash-lou-grant-director-producer-was-96-978156 Gene Reynolds, the prolific director, producer and writer who was a driving force behind such socially conscious television series as M*A*S*H, Lou Grant and Room 222. Reynolds started out in Hollywood as a child actor at MGM in such movies as Boys Town (1938). Reynolds and Larry Gelbart created CBS' M*A*S*H, which was based on a novel by Richard Hooker and followed the Robert Altman film adaptation. "In directing, I'm always looking for the little humane touch. Something that is real. It could be very, very small," Reynolds said in a 2000 chat for the Archive of American Television website. "It could be a hand on the shoulder. It could be just an extra lingering look on somebody you care about and so forth, for just a fraction. It could be a reaction from somebody … I'm looking for humanity, really. And that goes with comedy or drama." He died at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank at the age of 96. - 5 February 2020 – Kirk Douglas passes away - https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/05/entertainment/kirk-douglas-obit/index.htmlKirk Douglas, one of the great Hollywood leading men whose off-screen life was nearly as colorful as his on-screen exploits in movies like "Spartacus" and "Champion,". Michael Douglas said that his father's life "was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet." He added: "Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday, and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son." In perhaps the most famous -- and certainly most lampooned -- scene from "Spartacus," his fellow rebels, captured by the Roman army, rise to proclaim, "I'm Spartacus!" when told their lives will be spared if they identify him. He died in Beverly hills, California at the age of 103. Remembrances- 3 February 1468 – Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_GutenbergGerman blacksmith, goldsmith, inventor, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history. It played a key role in the development of the Renaissance,Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses. The use of movable type was a marked improvement on the handwritten manuscript, which was the existing method of book production in Europe, and upon woodblock printing, and revolutionized European book-making. Gutenberg's printing technology spread rapidly throughout Europe and later the world. His major work, the Gutenberg Bible (also known as the 42-line Bible), was the first printed version of the Bible and has been acclaimed for its high aesthetic and technical quality. He died at the age of around 68 in Mainz, Electorate of Mainz in the Holy Roman Empire. - 3 February 1935 – Hugo Junkers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_JunkersGerman aircraft engineer and aircraft designer who pioneered the design of all-metal airplanes and flying wings. His company, Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG (Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works), was one of the mainstays of the German aircraft industry in the years between World War I and World War II. His multi-engined, all-metal passenger- and freight planes helped establish airlines in Germany and around the world. In addition to aircraft, Junkers also built both diesel and petrol engines and held various thermodynamic and metallurgical patents. He died at the age of 76 in Gauting,Bavaria.- 3 February 1959 – The Day Music Died -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Music_Died American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson. The event later became known as "The Day the Music Died", after singer-songwriter Don McLean referred to it as such in his 1971 song "American Pie". Soon after take-off, late at night and in poor, wintry weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the light aircraft, a Beechcraft Bonanza, which subsequently crashed into a cornfield. Everyone on board was killed. The event has since been mentioned in various songs and films. A number of monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake, where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom, the venue that hosted the artists' last performance. Famous Birthdays- 3 February 1480 – Ferdinand Magellan - https://www.onthisday.com/people/ferdinand-magellan Portuguese explorer who organised the Spanish expedition to the East Indies from 1519 to 1522, resulting in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano. Commanding a fleet of five vessels, he headed south through the Atlantic Ocean to Patagonia. Despite a series of storms and mutinies, they made it through the Strait of Magellan into a body of water he named the "peaceful sea" (the modern Pacific Ocean). The expedition reached the Philippine islands, where Magellan was killed during the Battle of Mactan. The expedition later reached the Spice Islands in 1521 and one of the surviving ships eventually returned home via the Indian Ocean, completing the first circuit of the globe. Magellan had already reached the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia on previous voyages traveling east (from 1505 to 1511–1512). By visiting this area again but now travelling west, Magellan achieved a nearly complete personal circumnavigation of the globe for the first time in history. He was born in Sabrosa. - 3 February 1859 – Hugo Junkers – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_JunkersGerman aircraft engineer and aircraft designer who pioneered the design of all-metal airplanes and flying wings. Amongst the highlights of his career were the Junkers J 1 of 1915, the world's first practical all-metal aircraft, incorporating a cantilever wing design with virtually no external bracing, theJunkers F 13 of 1919 (the world's first all-metal passenger aircraft), the Junkers W 33 (which made the first successful heavier-than-air east-to-west crossing of the Atlantic Ocean), the Junkers G.38 "flying wing", and the Junkers Ju 52, affectionately nicknamed "Tante Ju", one of the most famous airliners of the 1930s. He was born in Rheydt, Rhine Province. - 3 February 1939 – Vladimir Yevgenyevich Preobrazhensky – http://www.astronautix.com/p/preobrazhensky.html Russian engineer cosmonaut 1965-1980. Graduated from Moscow Aviation Institute Soviet Air Force, liaising with aircraft industrial enterprises. Cosmonaut training November 1965 - December 1967. Worked at Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. He was born in Leningrad. - 3 February 1970 – Warwick Davis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_DavisEnglish actor, television presenter, writer, director, comedian and producer.[4] He played the title characters in Willow and the Leprechaun film series, several characters in the Star Wars franchise (most notably the Ewok Wicket), and Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook in the Harry Potter films. Davis also starred as a fictionalised version of himself in the sitcom Life's Too Short, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Davis is a founder of the Reduced Height Theatre Company, which stages theatrical productions cast exclusively with short actors and using reduced height sets. In April 2010, Davis published his autobiography, Size Matters Not: The Extraordinary Life and Career of Warwick Davis, with a foreword by George Lucas. He was born in Epsom,Surrey.Events of Interest - 3 February 1961 – The United States Air Forces begins Operation Looking Glass, and over the next 30 years, a "Doomsday Plane" is always in the air, with the capability of taking direct control of the United States' bombers and missiles in the event of the destruction of the SAC's command post. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Looking_GlassIt provides command and control of U.S. nuclear forces in the event that ground-based command centers have been destroyed or otherwise rendered inoperable. In such an event, the general officer aboard the Looking Glass serves as the Airborne Emergency Action Officer (AEAO) and by law assumes the authority of the National Command Authority and could command execution of nuclear attacks. The AEAO is supported by a battle staff of approximately 20 people, with another dozen responsible for the operation of the aircraft systems. The name Looking Glass, which is another name for a mirror, was chosen for the Airborne Command Post because the mission operates in parallel with the underground command post at Offutt Air Force Base. The Looking Glass was also designed to help ensure COG, continuity and reconstitution of the US government in the event of a nuclear attack on North America. Although the two types of aircraft are distinct, the Doomsday Plane nickname is also frequently associated with the E-4 "Nightwatch" Advanced Airborne Command Post mission and aircraft.- 3 February 1966 – Lunik 9 lands on lunar surface - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/lunik-9-soft-lands-on-lunar-surfaceOn February 3, 1966, the Soviet Union accomplishes the first controlled landing on the moon, when the unmanned spacecraft Lunik 9 touches down on the Ocean of Storms. After its soft landing, the circular capsule opened like a flower, deploying its antennas, and began transmitting photographs and television images back to Earth. - 3 February 1981 - John Buster and the research team at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center announce history's first embryo transfer, from one woman to another resulting in a live birth. - http://thebusterclan.blogspot.com/2016/08/john-e-buster-doctor-that-helped-create.html In the procedure, an embryo that was just beginning to develop was transferred from the woman in whom it had been conceived by artificial insemination to another woman who gave birth to the infant 38 weeks later. The sperm used in the artificial insemination came from the husband of the woman who bore the baby. This scientific breakthrough established standards and became an agent of change for women suffering from the afflictions of infertility and for women who did not want to pass on genetic disorders to their children. Donor embryo transfer has given women a mechanism to become pregnant and give birth to a child that will contain their husband’s genetic makeup. Although donor embryo transfer as practiced today has evolved from the original non-surgical method, it now accounts for approximately 10% of in vitro fertilization recorded births.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJ Follow us on Facebook - Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/ - Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamated Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrS iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094 RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General Enquiries Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Where is the fandom today, and would they even want a M*A*S*H reboot? What would that even look like? We're giving you the best care anywhere* (as far as a podcast goes) on this week's episode! *Please consult with your physician for any actual medical care you may need.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
UPS workers are in a critical struggle with both their employer and their union, the Teamsters, which are pushing a poor contract on them. Like many workers in the United States, UPS workers are facing low wages and cuts to health care and other benefits. Although UPS workers nationwide voted by over 90% to go on strike, they are being told that the new five-year contract is a "done deal." Rank and file workers are doing all they can to reach workers and let them know that this is not the case. They can still reject the contract and keep fighting for a better one. We discuss why this is an important step in raising the standards for all workers and why all people need to support UPS workers now with Richard Hooker of #623LivesMatter.

Attention all personnel! Today marks exactly 45 years to the day that the classic TV series M*A*S*H first premiered on CBS. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker and the 1970 feature film directed by Robert Altman, the boundary-busting sitcom had an impressive eleven season run, redefining what television was capable of, and leaving the air with a finale that remains to this day the highest rated episode of any TV show ever. Not a bad legacy, and it provided quite the springboard for conversation with my buddy (and M*A*S*H superfan) Rob Kelly via a special arrangement with his own Film & Water Podcast wherein we share the same interview and distribute it via our respective shows. It's a fun chat that runs the gamut from Trapper to BJ, Henry to Potter! We talk about how we became fans, why we're still fans, and what it is about M*A*S*H that still resonates this many decades later.
