After the cut with a connector is made, is there a way to update the connector? For example, changing the shape or position of a dowel connector?
The "Cut connectors" show up in the objects, but I'm not seeing any way to add/remove from them.
From former President Kieschinck on the Unit Leadership Collective's Lead Time Podcast. Begins with a letter he intended to read at this year's convention, from a woman whose four children are faithful Christians but left the LCMS.
I've been wrestling with this topic for a while, and have struggled with the differing definitions used resulting in an inability to communicate. I've come across a framing device that I'm curious if it might help regarding discussions of Christian Nationalism and the Two Kingdoms.
Nationalism as a term is incredibly wide in its possible uses. On one side, we have the basic concept of the Nation-state which did not exist at the time of Christ (or, according to many definitions, even at the time of the reformers), but has generally been accepted as a legitimate form of temporal civil authority. On the other hand we have ethno-Nationalism (including White Nationalism), which our Synod formally (and rightly) condemns as idolatry. As a result, we cannot say that Nationalism as a whole is either good or bad, and critiques of sinful aspects of Nationalism end up lumped in with legitimate aspects.
So, at which point do we believe our doctrines draw the line of Nationalism transitioning from a God-pleasing form of civil authority, to an oppressive abuse? Particularly in an American context (presuming the Constitution is in force, rather than British colonial rule, or the Christian Princes of the Holy Roman Empire of the Reformation). How much Ecclesial authority can the state wield (either in our favor or against) before it can no longer be wholeheartedly endorsed? How much must be removed from White Nationalist or Kinist ideology to be brought into accordance with Scripture? I expect this will leave a very wide range of possible acceptable government structures, but will better delineate the aspects of modern Nationalist ideologies which are problematic without the baggage.
