Hey, I had to comment on this because the Asylum Street Spankers live in my hometown (Austin.) They have changed a lot over the years, it seems. They used to be sort of a 20's era, slap-bass and drum group. They had this cool guy with shades in the back named "Silent John," and the lead singer's name was John Forsyth (but he's gone solo, now.) They've always liked to do humor, though. They took that old song, "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette," and changed it to "Roll Me Up a Funny Cigarette." They used to sing "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," and a lot of other really old songs you don't hear elsewhere. They're one of those unique bands that you find in this town.
Traditional Anglicanism that is robustly orthodox is alive in Central Kentucky! We are gathering people who need to be welcomed by the Church of Christ, loved in the name of Christ, taught the Word of Christ, and fed on the Most Precious Body & Blood of Christ!
A confessional Christian ruminates on life. While "adiaphora" refers to "things indifferent" to orthodox Christianity, it also sums up much of the mainline churches attitudes of indifference to the heresy in her ranks (and by "rank" I mean the positively mephitic aroma!).
Oh, and if you post anonymously, make sure you identify yourself - or at least keep it on target. Don't expect me to post your incognito invective. If that's your bag, get your own blog.
I welcome disagreement. Say what you will, but back it up. I'm from Dixie - not ipse dixit!
