I see that Zoroastrianism is not mentioned at all on the map. Interesting since it's origins are contemporaneous with Vedic Hinduism.

The Gathas - A Glance Hear the best with your ears and ponder with a bright mind. Then each man and woman, for his or her self, select either of the two, the better or the bad mentality. Awaken to this doctrine of ours before the great event of choice ushers in. (Zarathushtra's Gathas: Song...

Art, Indeed I am a 'sort' of Zoroastrian :) and, not an Anglican, but an Old Catholic Priest. I dwell in this matter, as in so many others, on the fringes. Having said that, I find Zoroastrianism extremely attractive ESPECIALLY when my more fundamentalist confreres are working so hard...

Yeah, fair comment. I'm a bit of a bugger like that. :) I sometimes wonder if it is possible to have an attention deficit disorder that covers your whole life. :eek: My Myers-Briggs PTI shows me as an ENFP and I'm afraid a fairly extreme one at that. I'll try to stick about a bit more. :o

Of course we will not talk about those who have left the faith and then been declared covenant breakers by the UHJ or those who used to post on the Talisman e-list who were removed from voting lists and declared covenant-breakers for expressing opinions over the internet. will we? Kiwimac --...

Quahom1 I spent 25+ years as a Christian theologian and priest. So, you were saying?

This Christian focus on homosexuality is ludicrous. Homosexuality occurs throughout the animal kingdom, of which humanity is a part. There are far more important focuses than a person's sexual orientation. Indeed the person Christians say they follow, Jesus of Nazareth said as much when he...

I am TE in my outlook

Believing the Bible and thumping someone who did not is not the same thing. kiwimac

The Didache is one of the earliest Christian documents. It was part of the experience of the first Christians but was not included in Eusebius' Canon. I think it is a shame that it is not there as it provides us with perhaps the earliest description of the Eucharist as seen by the early...

Why should they do so?
