Funny thing is, this is not the first time this has ever happened.
 
I mentioned a while back I am in a read the Bible in a year plan. It is online and I follow along while a voice reads it to me. After that there is a video about 6-8 minutes long of a woman who talks about the reading for that day and gives her views.

Yesterday I finished the Old Testament. There were times where I skipped a few days and one got 45 days behind but am caught up now.

All I can say about the OT is that it is…strange.

I've been saying for some time now that mainline Protestantism seems to be dying a death by a thousand cuts and this Rasmussen poll seems to bear this out. Any thoughts on any underlying causes here?

African church rejects new female archbishop of Canterbury

The Anglican Church of Nigeria has rejected the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury
www.rt.com www.rt.com

The Anglican Church of Nigeria has formally rejected the appointment of the first-ever female archbishop of Canterbury.

Nigerian archbishop, metropolitan and primate of the Church of Nigeria, Henry Ndukuba, described the election of Sarah Mullally as “a double jeopardy” – first for imposing female headship on those who cannot accept it, and second for promoting “a strong supporter of same-sex marriage.”

In a statement posted on Facebook on Monday, Ndukuba questioned how Mullally “hopes to mend the already torn fabric of the Anglican Communion” given ongoing debates over same-sex marriage.

He said Nigeria, as part of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON), “reaffirms [its] earlier stance to uphold the authority of the Scriptures” and rejects what he called “the revisionist agenda” within parts of the Communion.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: For First Time in Decades, Men Lead Women in Church Attendance - HillFaith

Men, especially young Gen Zers and Millennials, are reversing a long-established attendance pattern by surpassing women in church participation, according to a new analysis by the Barna Group.

The analysis by the Fort Worth, Texas-based Barna Group is entitled “New Research on Church Attendance: Decline of Women or the Rise of Men” and it discloses that “men are significantly out-pacing women in church attendance since the Pandemic, reversing a long-standing trend in Barna’s decades of tracking. The 2025 gender gap is the largest recorded so far (43 percent for men vs. 36 percent among women).”

The role reversal was dramatically highlighted by Barna’s finding that “among parents of kids under 18, married dads have the highest show-up rate at church compared to all other parents. Only one in four single moms (24 percent) attend church weekly — significantly trailing other married moms and dads.”

The emerging pattern is likely to have multiple rippling effects throughout American society, but most immediately upon American church leaders because these “new patterns of participation and disengagement among key groups … may reshape the fabric of church life in the years to come,” Barna said.

It is strange for a lot of Americans because of massive cultural differences that we struggle to process. You already know this, but we approach the text with only living in our culture trying to understand a time and place in history that had a massively different culture. But yeah, there's some things in there that just make you pause. LOL!

Human rights advocate warns Turkey is systematically targeting Christians for deportation, with President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan's policies facing international scrutiny.

Turkey has been accused of deporting hundreds of peaceful Christians under the guise of "national security," including dozens last year, in a move legal advocates warn is an "attack" on the freedom of religion.

In a Monday address to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), legal expert for the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, Lidia Rieder, warned that Turkey is systematically targeting Christians purely "for practicing their faith."
