LOL<br /><br />The parallels between these people and the American conservative/Republican craziness are striking, to say the least. <br /><br />Howling about a president urging children to work hard in school, accusing him of forming death panels and being a Nazi, etc. are one and the same with the FOCA folks' rhetoric about heretical liberal terrorists within the church. <br /><br />At some point the gentle, loving Christ-like folk of TEC, the CoE, etc. are going to have to come to terms with the fact that a particularly large part of the conservative movement worldwide are observably insane and dangerous.<br /><br />Jesus can reach their troubled minds and hearts but we must figure out how to allow him to do his work while preventing the damage they do to so many everywhere they go. It is the moral thing to do. Pray for South Africa.<br /><br />PriscillaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-65908796558309830752009-09-04T09:56:42.147-04:002009-09-04T09:56:42.147-04:00FOCA South Africa is largely the outside anglica...FOCA South Africa is largely the outside anglican Communion deniomination callled the Church of England in South Africa.
