Mary is yours, whether you are ‘catholic’ or ‘evangelical’

Last updated on: August 15, 2016 at 12:26 am By Justin Tse

We call this a Thing, as Churl says, professing to have a meeting of the ‘wise’ without being wise ourselves. But as Churl screams at the evangelical churches he’s been at, ‘Where the hell have you been?’ he seems to have gotten a variety of responses. Some have shown a lot of love and promised quite a bit of prayer. But he has also quite a bit of criticism from those who don’t know him, precisely the disembodied voice he... Read more

No, You Cannot Fence the Table with Orientalism

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 4:46 pm By Justin Tse

This morning, Reformed pastor Doug Wilson posted a response to a question from a friend about a recent tweet by Rachel Held Evans about how she would take communion with John Piper in a heartbeat. See for yourself: I would break the bread of communion with @johnpiper in a heartbeat. We disagree, but he is my brother, and always will be. — Rachel Held Evans (@rachelheldevans) May 27, 2013 Wilson’s interlocutor didn’t have the same ontological understanding of communion as...

Sovereign Clashes and the Obstruction of Justice

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 8:09 pm By Justin Tse

Trigger warning: abuse, sexual abuse, Sovereign Grace; obscenely verbose and lengthy post The blogosphere has recently erupted with some big news about a neo-Calvinist non-denomination called Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM). Here’s what happened. SGM has been under fire for quite some time as a matter of fact. First, there was a leadership crisis that precipitated a split between its flagship church Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD, and its institutional headquarters. Then, a class action lawsuit was filed about alleged... Read more

The Curses of Trinity Sunday

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 3:39 pm By Justin Tse

You could say that Trinity Sunday is a day of curses. Traditionally, after all, it is the day to say the Athanasian Creed, the Quicunque vult, as it’s known in some circles. Here it is in its full English translation, as it is in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (as in the Episcopal Church’s prayerbook), with all of its anathemas unadulterated: Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith... Read more

Our Silence on Oklahoma

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 3:33 pm By Justin Tse

The blogosphere has been on fire with multiple comments about the tornado that has devastated Moore, Oklahoma. The most notable exchange has been the one initiated by Rachel Held Evans, in response to a tweet by John Piper from the Book of Job attributing the tornado to the sovereignty of God. As the case has been more than adequately covered by the brilliant journalistic talents of Sarah Pulliam Bailey, we’ll save our comments on it for a later post. (I... Read more

Thanking my Pentecostal teachers

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 3:32 pm By Justin Tse

We just celebrated Pentecost Sunday by pulling out all the Pentecostal musical stops at our Anglican church: I was on piano and I hit a few charismatic chord progressions, i.e. the ones designed to manipulate congregants to raise their hands (old habits die hard, and I don’t feel bad about good music, unfortunately). Because I learned those chords from Pentecostals, I want to give thanks to the Pentecostals who shaped me into the Chinglican I am today. Several years ago... Read more

No, It Is Not Self-Referential

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 3:27 pm By Justin Tse

Addressing an Anglican conference at Holy Trinity Brompton yesterday, Friedrich Cardinal Schörborn declared that the election of Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio to the papacy as Pope Francis was due to certain strong, supernatural ‘signs’ before and during the conclave events. He then compared the appointment of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, to the election of the pope, calling it a ‘little miracle’ and ‘a sign from the Lord’ for the churches to move to closer unity. By now,... Read more

What I Do Not Mean by the Catholic Thing

Last updated on: February 6, 2018 at 10:40 pm By Justin Tse

It has become a truism of late that some disaffected evangelicals want to become Catholic because Catholicism has so much more of a robust faith than Protestantism. (A few years ago, Eastern Orthodoxy was a big deal too–arguably still is!) While many more have a more informed account than the hipster one I will provide (I have some smart Catholic convert friends, you see), a typically recent narrative often goes something like this: Unlike the format of rocked-out worship songs...

Passing the Peace to the Neo-Reformed Crowd

Last updated on: July 27, 2016 at 3:23 pm By Justin Tse

Jesus says in Sunday’s Gospel reading: ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid’ (John 14.27). These words are also the preface in most Christian liturgies to the ‘peace,’ the section in the Eucharistic celebration where we greet each other in the name of Christ, reconciling with those whom we have wronged and joining together in love...

Is Anglicanism strategic?

Last updated on: July 3, 2017 at 11:14 am By Justin Tse

There is a certain church popping up repeatedly on my news feed advertising a church service that will potentially reach the downtown of the city in which I live. It is an Anglican church, or more precisely put, it is a church that thinks it’s Anglican because it likes liturgy but doesn’t want to become Anglican-extreme, as evidenced by its pastor’s theological blogs on the ‘misconceptions of Anglicanism’ and the ‘dangers of Anglicanism.’ The bottom line of these posts is...
