replies: text: I believe a more accurate statement would include both the majority theory of 48'000-50'000 years ago as well as the minority theory ranging up to 65'000 years ago. "The earliest dates for human occupation of Australia come from sites in the Northern Territory. The Madjedbebe (previously called Malakunanja II) rock shelter in Arnhem Land has a widely accepted date of about 50,000 years old. Reports of a date close to around 65,000 years old (Nature, 2017), which was contentious at the time, have been rebutted by Allen & O'Connell in 2020. Molecular clock estimates, genetic studies and archaeological data all suggest the initial colonisation of Sahul and Australia by modern humans occurred around 48,000–50,000 years ago."

thread_title:  Timeline of inhabitation 

message: The figures of 300,000 to 2.4 million in 1788 are uncited... and quite frankly ridiculous. 
For example, the 1924 Commonwealth Year Book estimated just 150,000. Famous Anthroplogist Radcliffe-Brown estimated 242,000-300,000. Lancaster Jones revised that figure down... Henry Reynolds wrote "about 300,000" without showing how he arrived at such a figure. The common theme here though is that no serious academic would suggest it was 2.4 million. 124.148.123.211 (talk) 03:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

: In this page you can see that Gardner was the leader of the Wiccan order, when they say:
: But Gardner had no time to spare for the O.T.O., due to his leadership of the Wiccan order (under which title he had organised his synthetic modern revival of witchcraft). [79]
: The tag "[79]" points to "Facsimile of this Charter in Geoffrey Basil Smith: "Knights of the Solar Cross", 1983. Born on 19.1.47, Smith considers himself to be the X° of Great Britain. After 1988, this Charter was owned by Allen H. Greenfield, bishop of Bertiaux's O.T.O.A, and in the 'Caliphate'. There is a report on this charter in "LAShtAL" Nº 1, Georgia 1988, p. 41."

:::: I've contacted him and he really means "Wiccan Order".
There was no such thing as the 'Wiccan Order'.  Gardner never referred to Wicca as an Order.  He terms it a 'cult' - for that matter, he does not ever refer to his own movement as 'Wicca'.

The views established within the article primarily reflect US-centric issues which ACORN in other countries have not made official stances on, or otherwise do not necessarily apply globally, such as voter registration and gun laws. In Canada, ACORN is largely associated with tenants rights and is a very active and non-defunct organization. If one were to try and research ACORN Canada, this page would come up and would be largely unhelpful. I believe this page could be merged with the current page on the US history, and a separate page could be created about the organizations as a whole, including the global history.

Talk:Thirty-nine Articles

message: The main article originally said, in it's summary of articles 9-18, that:
"They reject the Roman Catholic teachings on works of supererogation and that performing good works can make a person worthy to receive justification."
However, (to the best of my understanding) the Roman Catholic Church has never taught that performing good works can make a person worthy to receive justification. They *have* taught that a person may merit (in the sense of do what God requires for) eternal life, but that this can only occur as a result of (and after) justification. Additionally, Canon 1 of the Council of Trent Session 6 says, "If any one saith, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human nature, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema." http://www.thecounciloftrent.com/ch6.htm Consequently, I do not see how it could be argued that they teach that a person can be worthy to receive justification.
I amended the article to simply read "They reject the Roman Catholic teaching on works of supererogation." and deleted the incorrect statement. It would perhaps be possible to merely amend it to "They reject the Roman Catholic teachings on works of supererogation and that performing good works can make a person worthy to receive eternal life." but I am not sure of the Anglican teaching on this specific point. 
If someone else has a source for this claim, or a better suggestion for how to amend it, I'm all ears.
