You wrote "Now that doll maker can score a big hit by putting an Episcopal collar on his doll."

actually, if I wasn't Anglican, that would be really funny! consider that line stolen to drop at the appropriate moment in discussions elsewhere...

I was attending the Epicopal Church locally until this scandal broke. Liberal clergy here in Portlandia are supporting the gay bishop. Go figure. For me, it is back to Lutheran services.

What I find really breath-taking about this whole thing was the interviews I have heard from Bishop Robinson.

He doesn't see what he's doing as the problem, but that those who want to break away from the Church as the problem.

You would think that someone in his situation would back down if he saw a schism coming from within the Church. Doesn't the Bishop have a responsibility to his flock before himself?

Since when does it become self-serving rather than serving God?

I truly feel for your church at the moment.

You're all in my prayers.
