I'm on the board of Indwell that builds and operates supportive housing in Southern Ontario. Government funds a great deal of its model but so much more is needed.

So he's using artificial as a derogatory term for many things now - the press, the war. An effort to bolster his move from AI to SI?

We rented a fantastic villa half an hour from Florence, near San Gimignano. I can send details if you have time for some rural relaxation in Tuscany.

While in Libya I visited ancient Ghadames. The town complex had many dwellings with a shared roof which was the domain of the women. If he thinks the ancient world kept women apart he's cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Russell Moore has moved from the SBC and my sense is that Mohler has moved more MAGA in these past ten years. It's shifting sand when trying to do the connections.

He's a worthy exception. I often consider myself in a tight corner - too Orthodox for the progressive liberals and too generous? socialist? narrative-driven? anti-gnostic? now and not yet? for the evangelicals.

Doreen Wilson 🇨🇦 @gdewilson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It's a fair point. I still consider myself an evangelical, but with at least an asterix attached. Which is why I asked Josiah if he counted.

Doreen Wilson 🇨🇦 @gdewilson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
But I also know that Tom has quoted Al Mohler in the past. Still, that's a pretty tenuous connection.

Doreen Wilson 🇨🇦 @gdewilson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yeah, I would question Russell Moore as a valid link. He's broken that chain.

Would you count Bishop Tom Wright as a major evangelical figure? I'd be he shocked if he was tightly aligned with any of the theobros unless it was in debate.

Worth reading every bit of this thread. It strikes me that alone in this world only China and Canada didn't play the game of subservient courtiers.

It has been too slow and too ambiguous on what they want to see in proposals. Some urgency and clarity would be good.

The American media is not adequately capturing the collapse of American global power under Trump. Something profound - and dangerous - is underway.

So bizarre when the world has supercharged its migration to electric and other green energies. The US is going to be stranded as the only petro based economy. It makes no financial or health sense. 🤷 Except you have a President committed to the 1980's.

These are folks who haven't wrestled with the Psalms and prophets as God describes himself like a mother to Israel. So painful to see theology and the ineffable reduced to political score points.

On a call-in show a UK citizen shared with Nigel Farage that he had been anti Brexit until something momentous happened to change his mind. Farage asked what that was and caller replied that he was kicked in the head by a horse 😀

For non-Canadians it's hard to express the depth of the mood change here in Canada. Excellent article that captures a moment in time but this shopper has been checking labels since early last year. I'll buy anything but American.

@atticus59914029.bsky.social I'm curious and it's meant gently - I know your parents' church was quite happy with the Gulf of Mexico name change early on. Would they be as enthusiastic about Lake Ontario or is the schtick getting old for even for their crowd? We're eye rolling in Canada...

It was, and is, an attack on our sovereignty. This is going to be more painful for us, certainly in economic terms, but we are committed to the cause and I suspect more willing to endure the pain than our neighbours. Please God let the midterms be a turning point!
