“Freedom in every sense but primarily political sense, a rise in repression that stems from a repression of sexuality. It's AIDS, it's herpes, it's this, it's that.

Primary paradigm when it comes to dealing with political and social disease is allopathic: Pass a law, lock someone up, engage in warfare.

You're trying to foresee anything that can happen and everything becomes really rigid.

“So we didn't get the denominations and the separate congregations really till about into Civil War time. What's happened then, of course, is now that we've had well over 100 years of this history to establish separate cultures, different ways of worshipping, and different ways of understanding theology so that when people try to come together makes it very difficult. And then, of course, social networks, you know, how do we find a place to worship?” PeopleKnowsWayTryingYearsWellsDifferentWarTogetherCultureCoursesSocialDifficultUnderstandingKnow HowHappenedWorshipTheologyDifferent WaysCivil WarSocial NetworkCongregationDenominationsWar Time Author:Michael Emerson
