Doggy Oaths
I’d like someone to explain to me how dogs can become sworn officers. I imagine a lot from my dog’s expressions and attitudes, but I’m at a loss on this one.

I very rarely post personal stuff here, but you’re going to have to put up with just a little bit. My son John Webb is a professional pitcher. He has portions of two seasons at the big league level, and a considerable amount of AAA time. He didn’t get that big league contract this year,…
This time it’s from J. K. Gayle at Aristotle’s Feminist Subject. I’m not getting into this debate. In general, I’m going to link to any list that has me on it (it’s a nice thank you, I think), and to any list that I find interesting (that’s a service to my readers). I’m honestly not…
I will get the COVID-19 vaccination when it becomes available to me. I could, of course, be wrong. But experience and mountains of data suggest that the best option is to follow the consensus opinion of those with the appropriate expertise.
93 percent An annual U.K. survey asking people whom they trusted most found nurses absurdly credible, with 93 percent of people trusting them. [The Guardian] {My source: FiveThirtyEight.com} This is for my sister, mother, wife, several aunts on both sides of the family, and a bunch of friends who are nurses. Also for my daughter…

This shouldn’t be an issue for those of you who believe that an infant can repent of sins and turn to Christ, the preconditions for baptism, with the parents and godparents making commitments more serious than any oath, and the infant perhaps assenting with a cry.
Hmm. But will my dog ever make it through confirmation? 🙂
I’m sure I can find an Anglican bishop who will confirm him! As for ordination of dogs or canine bishops, I wonder which province will take that step first, or perhaps someone thinks it has been taken already – and I don’t mean to refer to a possible interpretation of Deuteronomy 23:18 and Revelation 22:15.
Things are worse than I thought. At Lambeth it looks like the newly consecrated bishops will be not dogs but rabbits!
