Don't say I didn't warn ya, Johnnyboy, but they'll be embrass'n and embarrass'n each other and us while exchanging God's Peace right in the middle of 11:00 A.M. services too! I betcha they'll try hugg'n and kiss'n us too! They'll try anything to make us QUEER like them I'm told. I thank my lucky stars that Adam and Eve didn't live to see this Queer stuff happ'n to our Church!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147195743059425432006-05-09T13:29:00.000-04:002006-05-09T13:29:00.000-04:00Last Sunday, we discussed again the goings on with...Last Sunday, we discussed again the goings on within the larger church. The whole GC06 and WR stuff, the nominees for PB, the election of Andrus to the episcopate in California, and, yes, the AAC/ACN attempts to discredit my bishop and diocese.<BR/><BR/>Basically what I told my congregation was that, regardless of the issue or event, the AAC/ACN people are simply an unhappy lot. It doesn't matter what happens, they are upset about it, and they always find the negative spin.<BR/><BR/>Besides being annoyed by them, I also feel some pity, as they seem to be eternally grumpy. It seems that their members will not be outwardly happy until they get their own sandbox.Reverend Ref +https://www.blogger.com/profile/12608521436386973234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147115822513348392006-05-08T15:17:00.000-04:002006-05-08T15:17:00.000-04:00'The realignment crowd is either overplaying their...'The realignment crowd is either overplaying their hand or setting up conditions so that it will not matter what we do at General Convention, thereby giving them additional ammunition in their argument that the “real” presence of an Anglican Communion franchise lies elsewhere than in the Episcopal Church.'<BR/><BR/>Needed to be repeated -- with the caveat that I think this has been true for a number of years now -- when I heard that at GenCon2003 the AAC folks were absenting themselves from the common Eucharist (even before the Robinson vote) I knew that the schism had already occurred -- they are staying in the hopes of attracting more people & property, but they are not people of good willAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147114833167745482006-05-08T15:00:00.000-04:002006-05-08T15:00:00.000-04:00I'm already feeling nervous about the selection of...I'm already feeling nervous about the selection of "wise men", for various reasons. First, are the only "wise men" in the Church those in episcopal orders? The Telegraph article indicates that two bishops are expected to be named. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, is all the wisdom to be gathered on this issue to come from churches other than ECUSA? I think there is some "wisdom" in asking for some representation by those who stand to experience the most negative effects.<BR/><BR/>(Of course, I won't even "go there" with the question of whether all the "wisdom" of the Church resides in "men"--I know better!)<BR/><BR/>Good that you've stopped noshing on Windsor, it's time for more wholesome fare. There's as much spiritual nutrition there as in a bag of Doritos. A lot of noise and mess, but not much to provide sustenance or health for the long term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
