Some people just prefer their blood of Christ pasteurized before fermentation sets in.

The folks passing out the Welch's in the tiny plastic vials tend to be memorialists anyway.

from presbyterian to methodist to episcopal to lutheran. real presence is very much the thing liberals believe

memorialism is literally just a baptist/anabaptist thing. i’d wager there’s a hell of a lot more conservatives who are memorialists than liberals

IT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE

Idaho has introduced a resolution to ask SCOTUS to REPEAL Obergefell and allow for states to make gay marriage ILLEGAL again.

We will NEVER go back.

See text here: legiscan.com/ID/drafts/HJ...
TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. We, your Memorialists, the House of Representatives and the Senate of the State of Idaho assembled in the First Regular Session of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent that: WHEREAS, the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), is at odds with the Constitution of the United States and the principles upon which the United States is es- tablished; and WHEREAS, liberty has long been understood as individual freedom from governmental action, not as a right to a particular governmental entitle- ment; and WHEREAS, Obergefell invokes a definition of "liberty" that the framers would not have recognized, rejecting the idea captured in the Declaration of Independence that human dignity is innate, and instead suggesting that it comes from the government; and WHEREAS, when the framers proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," they referred to a vision of mankind in which all humans are created in the image of God and therefore of inherent worth; and WHEREAS, Obergefell undermines this vision by declaring that citizens must seek dignity from the state; and WHEREAS, Obergefell relies on the dangerous fiction of treating the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution as a font of substantive rights, a doctrine that strays from the full meaning of the Con- stitution and exalts judges at the expense of the people from whom they de- rive their authority; and WHEREAS, Obergefell's inversion of the original meaning of liberty causes collateral damage to other aspects of our constitutional order that protect liberty, including religious liberty; and WHEREAS, the Supreme Court recognized in United States v. Windsor, 570 U.S. 744 (2013), that the definition of marriage is "an area that has long been regarded as a virtually exclusive prov… WHEREAS, Obergefell arbitrarily and unjustly rejected this definition of marriage in favor of a novel, flawed interpretation of key clauses within the Constitution and our nation's legal and cultural precedents; and WHEREAS, since court rulings are not laws and only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Ses- sion of the Sixty-eighth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the Senate concurring therein, that the Idaho Legislature rejects the Obergefell decision. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural def- inition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Idaho Legislature insists on restoring the issue of marriage and enforcement of all laws pertaining to marriage back to the several states and the people. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representa- tives be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Memorial to the Supreme Court of the United States.

this is such an obvious gotcha that I'm certain it's as annoying to our totally good faith intelligent thoughtful protestant homies as when memorialists ask us "was Christ literally a vine, too?" but like..............where is sola scriptura in scripture

Regret to inform you that in this respect Trump has been trumped by Lincoln's memorialists.
Photograph of the Lincoln statue in Lincoln Memorial (not yet renamed the Trump-Lincoln Memorial) in Washington DC. Lincoln is seated on a marble chair with marble armrests, facing the viewer. Inscription over Lincoln begins 'In this temple as in the hearts of the people..'

but it's easy to see how it got watered down over a few centuries to the worthless, empty ceremony that memorialists perform today

(which fits in quite naturally with credobaptism as some sort of individualist personal commitment)

I think about the HIttites sometimes. They were major but then didn’t have memorialists but their poetry is coming back to remind us of them. Make a statue it becomes a colossal wreck boundless and bare but make a POEM and your civilization may be remembered. news.uchicago.edu/story/how-30...

I found an 1813 smallpox vaccine petition for Culpeper County VA today and it’s so funny that there are bits about “the prejudices of the ignorant” and people “who as yet have no confidence in its efficacy”

Historic anti-vaxxers! 🤣🤣🤣
TO THE HONORABLE THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. The Memorial of the undersigned Citizens of humbly represents. Culpeper countey THAT your Memorialists highly approve of the use of the Kine Pock, and are fully convinced, that it is a certain preventive of the Small Pox. To overeome the prejudices of the ignorant and to be provided with genuine infection have been always the most serious difficulties to contend with. The practice of Vaccination is understood to be so extremely simple and easy, that any intelligent person is adequate to conduet it with the most perfect safety. It is, therefore, with great satisfaction, that your Memorialists have here an opportunity to express their approbation of a late act of congress entitled, " An Act to encourage Vaccination," wherein « the President of the United States is authorised to appoint an agent to preserve the genuine Vaccine Matter, and to furnish the same to any citizen of the United States whenever it may be applied for, through the mediam'of the Post-Oficez" and wherein it is also further enacted; that « all letters or packages, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, containing Vaceine Matter, or relating to the subjeet of Vaccination, shall be carried by the United States' Mail, free of any postage, either to or from the said agent." It has, however, been left for the particular states who may approve of this plan, to provide the means necessary to defray the expense of promoting the same to that extent they may deem most usefull; otherwise the agent will only have it in his power to furnish the matter to such partieular persons as may accompany their applications to him for it, with certain Fees, necessary to enable him to prosecute his undertaking without other aid. Your Memorialists are assured that the present agent Dr. James Smith, who has been appointed by the President, and who is well known to have been… agent will only have it in his power to furnisa the matter to seen pardoner persons as dey decompany their applications to him for it, with certain Fees, necessary to enable him to prosecute his undertaking without other aid. Your Memorialists are assured that the present agent Dr. James Smith, who has been appointed by the President, and who is well known to have been long and successfully employed in preserving and distributing this invaluable matter, will give adequate security to that eflect, and will undertake to furnish it free of any charge whatever, to any citizen of this state who may apply to him for it; provided such reasonable compensation be allowed to him by the legislature as will enable him to effect this desirable object. Your Memorialists are therefore of opinion that a suitable provision by law, to enable the United States' Agent for Vaecination to furnish genuine vareine infention, free of any expense, to any citizen of Virginia, who might want it, would be found to be not only of the greatest convenience to the people in general, but it would induce many to use it, who as yet have no confidence in its efficacy. Indeed there are many reasons to believe that the small Pox may, by the plan proposed, teentrely eradicated many persons at least would be chereby secured from it who must otherwise be left exposed, and who may perhaps fall victims to the pestilence, from a want of the only remedy which can possibly prevent it.

One city saw the largest turnout since November *1989.* (I wonder what was going on then?)

This happened in Banská Štiavnica.
About a thousand people protested in Banská Stiavnica, the memorialists do not remember so many people since November '89. The gathering was opened with a folklore song by musician Sisa Feher, and performances included Ladislav Snopko and musician Tono Popovic. The speech by ethnomusicologist and activist Alzbeta Lukácová was read by director Mila Dromovich. The gathering then moved to the park, where Peter Fararik, a professional worker at the National Institute of Youth Education and co-author of an open letter by pedagogical and professional workers in the education sector, spoke, informed the initiative Banská Stiavnica will not be silent!

We have everything from the memorialists to spiritual presence to real presence to transubstantiation

In my experience, sometimes both reformed and Catholic understandings assume that the symbolic interpretation of memorialists is devoid of a spiritual reality (which I don't think is accurate).

douglivingston.bsky.social
For many modern memorialists, there just isn't a need for the term "sacrament" because the assumption is that Christ is mystically present within the believer at ALL times, and the ordinance is about taking time to appreciate and recognize that reality.

Hmmm. Not sure that's any different in practice from the memorialism of my Southern Baptist youth. It was always accompanied by prayer and contemplation of the Cross (with an assumed spiritual benefit). Maybe we were bad memorialists, but it may also speak to the fuzziness of these hard categories.

The extent to which modern Lutherans believe this varies, because it's been a while since the Reformation: there are Anglicans and Presbyterians who believe in sacramental union or even transubstantiation, and there are Lutherans who are memorialists and think it's just a symbol. The world is weird!

Nowadays memorialists use cool technology like lasers—but back in the day, they had to chisel tombstones by hand. That's why very old graves often only list the *years* someone lived rather than the full dates.

Gray text on a light gray background reads: Memorialist. /məˈmôrēələst/ (noun) An artist whose medium of choice is cemetery monuments and markers. Somebody has to carve all those words on your gravestone. deadparentswhatnow.com

Davidson was one of the 1938 memorialists and a severe critic of the 1943 post-war reconstruction statement, both of which involved public clashes with Archbishop Mowll. They must have reconciled, though, as Mowll made Davidson an Honorary Canon of St Andrew's Cathedral in 1950.
