"Unbelieable!"
Amazing, also works.
Miss Marple, who is not an E member, warned us about the homosexuals going after church property and funds shortly after the perverted one was made into an illegal Bishop.
Ha! Those people don't want to be caught worshipping in a high school gym and listening to an electronic keyboard! They are too "sensitive" and therefore you OWE them that large building with the stained glass windows and pipe organ; you conservative Episcopalians can go have your antique services down the road at the VFW hall.
Oh, and by the way, don't think that that endowment money your great-grandparents gave will go with you. They want that money to advance their agenda (which is not anything that Christ would recognize, if you ask me). And when their congregations diminish, they will sell off the land and buildings to a developer, so that the money will go for a "good cause."
I am sorry to say I was right about this. I hope this plot has been foiled. That decision out in California about who owns the property was a really important one, as I noted at the time.
My friends in Connecticut told me that their pastor was removed by the ECUSA Bishop of Connecticut because of the pastor's objections to ordaining a gay Bishop and putting openly gay pastors in charge of churches. The response was to remove him from his church -- he was replaced by an openly lesbian pastor. The parishioners are reeling over this action, but have nowhere to go. The few other pastors who are against ordaining gays have probably been removed as well, but I don't know for sure. The national leadership of ECUSA and the Lutherans and the Presbyterians and Methodists are all walking down this same path. Reminds me of back in the day when Jesus went up against the corrupt leaders of the synagogues, only this seems much worse. The actions of these Christian leaders is in direct contradiction to all that God, Jesus, and the Church have ever stood for. What to do that would actually make a difference????
Ray Charles could have seen that coming!
