On the Development of Christian Doctrine

Last updated on: December 9, 2013 at 6:30 pm By Billy Kangas

Why doesn’t the term “trinity” appear in the Bible? This video seeks to explain how Christianity changes the language that they use to explain the mystery of God as they encounter new world views. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! Read more

The Laws of Liturgy?

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 7:21 pm By Billy Kangas

Are you interested in figuring out where the Liturgy came from? Well below I have a list of “laws” that some scholars have implemented in trying to discern where and when certain things came into being. The First 2 are the original Baumstark rules, the rest have developed after. The Law of Organic Development – This law states that additions to the liturgy grow up next to older forms, but eventually supplant or cause an abbreviation to older forms That... Read more

Quotes and Questions from ‘A Grief Observed’

Last updated on: August 10, 2012 at 8:03 pm By Billy Kangas

I recently read A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis. Most people have encountered C.S. Lewis at one point or another. Although he is probably most well known for his fiction series The Chronicles of Narnia, he was also well accomplished in other areas. He was first published as a poet when he was an atheist, he is best known for his writings that he completed after a dramatic conversion to Christianity. His newspaper series we now know as the Screwtape... Read more

Heliocentrism

Last updated on: August 10, 2012 at 9:20 am By Billy Kangas

This image shows how we see the orbit of Mars from earth. As you probably know this behavior was very troubling to many early astronomers. It was one of the main pieces of evidence that helped Copernicus realize that the Sun was at the center of the solar system… Many people assume that this was the first time the idea had come up, but it had been bouncing around western thought since the third century B.C. In the 5th and... Read more

Where do you find the Apostles Creed in the Bible?

Last updated on: May 30, 2012 at 1:09 pm By Billy Kangas

The Apostles Creed has been a part of the church in the West for a very long time. It is used in baptisms, prayers, and basic catechesis. However there are some people who argue that the creeds are not found in the Bible, and so they are simply traditions of men that should be condemned. I think that argument is a little silly, but I’m not going to get into all that right now (perhaps I will post something on... Read more

Book Review: Holy Listening

Last updated on: May 8, 2012 at 4:42 pm By Billy Kangas

Have you ever felt isolated from your own story? Do you go through days without a sense of the continuity between your habits and action and who you are and what you want to live for? The noisiness of life has a tendency to mute our identity and stifle any sense of progression and conversation that we might be having within ourselves and with God. My own experience with the isolation of noisiness is one of the reasons I started... Read more
