Christ is Risen!!!!
Since same-sex “marriage” IS NOT marriage, “gay divorce” is meaningless!!!! (Of course, the laws of jurisdictions that accept same-sex “marriage” do not see it that way. There may be financial consequences, etc.)
And—by the way—in a same-sex “marriage” between two men, both are called “husbands”. In a same-sex “marriage” between two women, both are called “wives”. It’s all bogus, of course.
Vicky Gene (aka “Selfish Gene”) Robinson caused an enormous amount of pain to millions of people, and an enormous amount of disruption to the Protestant world. May God heal the pain and disruption of all affected by Robinson’s horrendous actions.
We welcome all of you to check out your neighborhood Orthodox parishes, and to come home to Orthodoxy if you are so called.
Indeed He is Risen!!!!
When I first moved into this neighborhood, there was a small Episcopal church next door. At one time the church was thriving, but the neighborhood had changed and by the time I moved there, the church only had a handful of elderly parishioners. There wasn’t even a pastor. A layman conducted the weekly services. Only times I saw a priest was for Christmas and Easter.
I was raised Catholic, but at that time I was no longer practicing. I attended services at that church and was embraced by the tiny congregation. These were very devout conservative people, faithful to the teachings of Christ. Eventually, the parishioners, including the gentleman who conducted the services, passed on, the church was closed and demolished. A community playground now stands on that site.
I look at the way things are now — gay “marriage,” abortions and what not —:and I think k of this Episcopal church and the good faithful people who belonged there. I can’t imagine them embracing these abominations.
