It reminds those who describe TEC as two churches that it is, at pew level, a rainbow: We are red and blue (by political analogy), but also warm orange, sunny yellow, and rich green. To see only one or two colors is to lose the Church.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Bp. Katharine, for reminding us of the rainbow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1162816614963226962006-11-06T07:36:00.000-05:002006-11-06T07:36:00.000-05:00I pray that Mother Elizabeth's general take on thi...I pray that Mother Elizabeth's general take on this is correct.

It was wonderful to feel part of something big and wonderful again - that which puts the small "c" in catholic (as in one, holy and apostolic). <BR/><BR/>I grow more and more convinced that the look on Bishop Katharine's face when she stood before the House of Deputies was the look of a woman with an ecclesiastical gun to the back of her head.<BR/><BR/>As the wave of churches and dioceses who distance themselves from B033 and places like the Diocese of Pittsburgh tie the noose which they have placed around their own necks even tighter, we shall see the more and more of Katharine's courage and grace and style.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be a GREAT 9 years.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1162754136652714482006-11-05T14:15:00.000-05:002006-11-05T14:15:00.000-05:00Reverend Ref,The fact is that one slip can be all ...Reverend Ref,<BR/><BR/>The fact is that one slip can be all you get. Consider Gov. Dean in the last primary cycle.<BR/><BR/>The two PB's and their house did indeed sacrifice a lot of the trust and fellowship with the other. It is not at all clear that anyone in a purple shirt is working to fix it. Without it, the next 9 years will be tough.<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1162700976640204122006-11-04T23:29:00.000-05:002006-11-04T23:29:00.000-05:00Ah yes ... bishops and referees, the only two avoc...Ah yes ... bishops and referees, the only two avocations where you are expected to be perfect from the beginning and then get better.<BR/><BR/>B033 may have been a mistake.

On the one hand I certainly want to be supportive, I was praying for her election prior to the convention, I was thrilled when it happened. Then the (and this is the only word I know of for it ) betrayal of B033. Let's face it, if she and her predecessor do not push it through, it likely fails in Deputies. <BR/><BR/>I dunno. She blew away a lot of goodwill on one side of the aisle, and gained none from the right.JimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.com
