Red Iodine Sin Illustration

Step one, take pristine white hanky, dribble from a pipette spots of STRONG RED IODINE. Get the red stuff from a FARMER'S SHOP, not a chemist - that stuff will tend to be colourless.

Then dip in water (from which you sip to show that is is water), to show incapacity of works to remove sin (our efforts, good deeds, being in church, etc.).

The dip in a glass of PHOTOGRAPHIC FIXER. Piff paff poof- it will become white again!

Then put hanky now soaked in fixer back into the water - water will have all sin removed. by homeopathy, i think. Or magic. Not sure abut the science here, tbh.

The modern Western model of church and salvation, especially in its Protestant forms (which are considerably more "modernised“ than Catholic or Orthodox forms), is largely predicated upon this narrative of the self. The church‘s evangelistic ministry becomes an expression of what McIntyre refers to as “bureaucratic individualism“ and entails the combination of rational technique and strategy, the creation of multiple programs to meet the needs of parishioners who will increasingly come to be viewed as customers or consumers, the tailoring of the gospel message to resonates with people‘s personal ex...
