Protestants love Latin-ish

In Protestantism, you only have to know six Latin words to be in the gang. Obviously, there’s “Sola” and then one of the biggies that follows it: “scriptura,” “fide,” “gratia,” “Christus” (technically, “Solus Christus”), or “gloria” (once again, technically, “Soli Deo gloria”). Well, it looks like we’ve stepped into uncharted territories and decided to try out another Latin word: “cultura.” It appears to have been too big of a leap for our Latin prowesses. What this conference title really says is “Scripture Alone or Agriculture Alone?” I’m not sure why we’d have to decide between those two. Perhaps they meant “humanitas” since that’s probably the closest Latin expression to our English word “culture.” Anyways, it sounded scholarly, right? The Reformers would be so proud.
