If I ever have some money I want to set up physical locales for my future org
Lodges, chapterhouses, I want a headquarters with plenty of acreage for tradfun like shooting ranges and farming

Solid plan, that.

I need to get my trads to join a shooting club, sometime.

I want active boots on the ground
Assisting church events, charity projects

Propagation of patristics

Where abouts in the world are you?

Sound like you're preparing for battle, almost.

Spiritual battle

USA, Midwest
Potential co founders on the west coast and in the UK

Topkek. In my Spanish class (at uber-lib uni), we discussed oppression in class to practice language about the socio-political world and then a question on a quiz was about whether stable governments are able to have unopressed citizens and people answered "no" b/c lib propoganda when the answer was "yes."

lol

see that's why I won't use Spanish in spite of liking it as a language

I live up by the great lakes, any spic this far north near me can speak English or go the fuck back to Mexico

Yeah, I hate taking Spanish rn. I wish I could be learning a Biblical language, Latin, or German

I'm beginning to casually amateurly study french
I have some knowledge of Latin, Spanish, tiny bit of German and Russian already

t. Studied Russian in college, can barely speak it

Taught myself Russian at age 14

Local Russians here say my speech is perfect

Autism is a gift

I can speak fine. I just don't know many words

I end up stumbling through my sentences

I don't know any Russian, but I live in MI, so I would never use it. I would like to learn Arabic; my mom's side of the family is Lebanese (Syriac Ordos), so they learned Arabic growing up despite living in MI

Is the Syriac tradition closer to EO than Copts? Both are OO, but I know Ethiopians are the wonkiest.

My maternal family is WAS-Dutch-German and my paternal family is Rhenish Franco-German so my main ancestral picks are German, French, or Dutch

Syriac is its own rite and it is present in uniatism, orthodoxy, miaphysitism, and nestorianism

I meant moreso the OO Syriacs

I don't think so but I can't really make an educated statement

which are miaphysite

Dant, do you know?

I know you have a hard on for the middle east

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_Orthodox_Church

I've visited a Syriac Orthodox Church multiple times

What's the question exactly?

"Is the Syriac tradition closer to EO than Copts? Both are OO, but I know Ethiopians are the wonkiest."

Its hard to say as I haven't look at their theology specifically. Their services are done in Aramaic, the language of Christ

Their divine liturgy is noticably different as well.

Yeah, I've been to a wedding and it was all Aramaic.

Also I don't have a hard on for the Middle East, I have a deep reverence for Orthodox churches of Middle East tradition because that is where Christ and thus Chrsitanity had its start

Greeks here are not as friendly

Anybody ever interacted with Nestorian Church of the East before?

Yes

But the person I have interacted is an autistic western convert so IDK how well he represents their beliefs
