“We formed a coalition”

I don’t know what to make of this.

“The theological categories we gave mentioned were formulated- at least essentially- in that era of the history of the Christian community characterized by close unity between faith and social life.”

This implies my faith and sex life are related….. 

“This assertion as of late has been an important claim for the emergence of theological feminism in an effort to subvert long standing and deeply entrenched patriarchal assumptions that fail to recognize a God-given equality.”

Hmmm

“This greatly healing and liberating experience acquires ecstatic, celebrative dimensions, which reinforce the encounter.”

lolololol wow. I didn’t cheat - this is from my preaching textbook.

“Dad!” said Dudley suddenly.  “Dad, Harry’s got something!”

“As a person showers, skin keeps the water out”. 

(the nearest book to me was “Encyclopedia of the Human Body”.)

Two equidistant books:

“Table 2.1 provides details on 8 tabla strokes, which can be heard in Sound Examples 2.3a-h.”

“The concepts I had struggled with as a young student, and that caused me many sleepless nights (especially around the time of the examinations), suddenly became crystal clear.”

(A stereotypically autistic preference for order will result in miraculous revelations… IN BED!)

þet beoð þere ase alle wo.

(Ancrene Riwle)

Oh dear.

Roughly translated (is a sentence that when translated is usually one part in the middle of a sentence), “who are there where all is woe”.

What book are you reading, cat?

Mine was:
“As Pope Gregory never lost sight of one of the most cherished of Benedictine aims: conversion of the Heathen.”

wat?

The Ancrene Riwle, also known as the Ancrene Wisse. It’s a guide for medieval anchoresses. I’ve got two copies, one middle English one modern English. But I’ve gotten surprisingly good at reading middle English for someone who’s never studied it.
