Danforth is nothing but a hypocrite.

I have an aunt who worked for Danforth, decades ago...she and my uncle both have a lot of the respect for the man.

This same aunt and uncle also stood as my godparents four years ago, when I was baptized at their Episcopal church (it was my church too for a while, but no longer).

They are getting up there in years, and while they watch the news, they are not "plugged in" like I am...so they can do something that I can't---be sad about what is happening to their church nationally, and at the same time still respect someone like Danforth. Who is clearly part of the problem, no matter how nice he may have been to work for. I am torn about whether or not to disillusion them. Not least because it may end up only disillusioning me.

Gotta love how Danforth says he supports same-sex blessings, but wouldn't perform them himself. I suppose he thinks that keeps his own hands clean.
