#ShavuaTov! Much of my #Shabbat was unfortunately taken up with health stuff but:

- Loved participating in #ErevShabbat service last night!
- Streamed this morning’s Shabbat service from New Zealand (could only watch half as I had to get ready for the hospital but it was nice)
- Read a *little* of Harry’s book #TeamHarry

And read a fabulous paper by Samuel Lebens, “Proselytism as Epistemic Violence: A Jewish Approach to the Ethics of Religious Persuasion”

#Excommunication is called #defederation.

Some features you're used to have been excluded by design, eg. newcomers have been surprised that they can't burn heretics at the stake. While it can encourage recantation, it's more often used to hurt people.

Finally, you don't have to publish in Latin, but consider using a #CW for any religious
#proselytism.
