Legalize consensual fistfights, it's a good community building practice.

Look. So many of my pastoral contemporaries are talking about "reaching men" without working on being men themselves. Their masculinity is rendered brittle or cartoonish (e.g., beard oil people) by their submission to making life sedentary.

Some good pastors fish, hunt, camp or build to avoid pussification. Good for them, but on my end I choose to get punched/kicked/thrown 5 days a week to keep me from ever falling into the same trap.

I think at some point the invisible Church collectively realized that Christians killing Christians was such a secularizing force that it wasn't worth the effort - no matter how ugly the errors on the other side. In the Pia Desideria, Spener's conspectus of deplorable conditions in the Lutheran Church paints a picture of outright apostasy (albeit with a veneer of belief) for most of Germany at the time.

Don't worry your little heads though, religious war enjoyers. Soon enough we'll reach that golden number of silly dumbasses, and we'll have at least 5 Muenster revolts within our lifetime.

Pub night at the Very Lutheran house. I've got Boddingtons ale, lectures on the English Commonwealth, and stuff to keep my hands busy while doing prep on the Ranters series.
Oh yeah, morale is going to be higher than ever.
