Vol. 212 of Brill's Studies in the History of Christian Traditions series now has a product page and publication date!

And a few interesting stories about the Nielson's:.

A congregation continues to meet in the original meeting house under the name of 'First Kilmore', or as it is better known, 'Rademon'.

When Neilson died two years later, the majority wanted to return to the Synod, but they didn't manage to hold on to the meeting house, so a new one was built to house what is now Kilmore congregation in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.

It was a Synod of Ulster (ie more or less subscribing) congregation from 1713 to 1829, when the younger Neilson led the congregation to join the newly formed Remonstrant Synod (non subscribers).

Pulpit on the long wall, next to the blue door, barn style.

The graveyard features many Nelson's - perhaps relatives of successive ministers from 1767 to 1831, Moses and Arthur Neilson - and a non subscribing cat!

Featuring three sets of outside stairs to the galleries.

Today I found myself outside this rather tasteful old non subscribing meeting house.

I have never had any compliments to retweet, so no probs there. If anyone goes to the trouble of reviewing something I write, it will be retweeted from this account, warts and all.

Just in case there was any doubt, this is the basic state of play in neuroscience in 2023.

Picked this up after reading the NDPR review - quality so far, super clear but engagingly written, and the intuitions seem broadly sound.

Text of speech here:

"We can no longer pretend, as people did in the 20th century, that we can be neutral or indifferent to God or to the public square being a godless desert. The fact is that the strong gods are back, and we have to choose which god to worship.". A superb speech. Sign me up!.

Thankfully there is a way for all of us to avoid turning blood-red with embarrassment:. And now, little children, abide him, that when he appears, we may confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. -- 1 John 2.28.

Very scary stuff - for one day Jesus Christ, the Son of God will turn the camera on you and I:. That which is has already been,.And what is to be has already been;.And God requires an account of what is past. -- Ecclesiastes 3.15.
