A THOUGHT FOR THE 4TH OF JULY
"Augustus was sensible that mankind is governed by names; nor was he deceived in his expectation, that the senate and people would submit to slavery, provided they were respectfully assured that they still enjoyed their ancient freedom."
(Edward Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chap. III)

Happy Independence Day, Mr. Callihan!
God Bless!

Which perhaps provides one reason why the church councils were so important, yes? Because how we speak about the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, and how we name our theology governs how we live.
Or something like that.
Oh, and Happy Independence Day!
