This just in:
The House of Deputies just released the final vote in-favor
of "blessing" non-marital unions. Between clergy and lay, the vote read
58 yes, 38 no and 12 divided. This resolution now allows dioceses to
choose whether or not they desire to perform same-sex "blessings".
This has thrown the door open for the church to continue to persue
these types of legislation.
The AAC is extremely saddened by the road the Episcopal church
has continued to take. Our hearts break as this Church insists
on throwing out scripture and historic Christian faith. The Episcopal
Church has made it a point to be an "anything goes" denomination.
The Rev. Canon David Anderson stated, "The AAC is already moving
forward. Under the direction and guidence of worldwide Anglican
Primates, the AAC is now taking the necessary steps to insure that
American Anglicans will have a place to call home."

What is a church? The Greek word ek-klesia defines it clearly: "called out" (of the masses) by God, not libido. "Church" is not an assembly of the elect chic with the right to decide which political, sexual or other preference, or any fad for that matter, may be considered holy. Just wanted to repeat this.

Today, the Lutheran World Federation REJECTED a definition of marriage as between one man and one woman!
Oh well.

Bingo! The feel-good, politically correct, me-focused world of the left.

This is the WHY of what is happening these days in Politics, the Church, the School. Find me anything below that has NOT occured or in the current "Things to do" list of the DNC and others.
Antonio Gramsci, 1891-1937
Focus on Freedom
C L Steplock
There is an old saying that begins something like this: THOSE THAT FORGET THE PAST ....
In 1919 an Italian socialist named Antonio Gramsci began to publish a newspaper in Milan called, L'Ordine Nuovo, or "The New Order." Loosely rendered, he concluded that the average person would never voluntarily reject the faith and culture of the West. He concluded that the best way to implement a collectivist government was to use an intellectual elite to destroy traditional values by attacking fundamental Jewish and Christian beliefs.
Antonio Gramsci, 1891-1937
...A. The New Order (L'Ordine Nuovo)
...B. Lenin was wrong, and the Leninist revolution will fail (USSR falters - Berlin Wall down)
......1. The workers will see the revolutionary government as a new boss
......2. When the revolution fails, the west will re-import Capitalism
...C. Gradual revolution through infiltration & subversion by revolutionaries
......1. Infiltrate the State: elective & appointed office; judgeships
......2. Infiltrate the military: enlist & subvert from within
......3. Infiltrate justice: undermine and discredit state constitutions
......4. Infiltrate education: professors & administrators
......5. Infiltrate & discredit religion: scoundrels as clergymen
......6. Register, then license, then confiscate all privately held weapons
...D. Form or infiltrate international organizations to promote goals such as "global understanding," "economic development," "transfer of resources"
...E. Both Capitalism and Judaeo-Christian culture must be destroyed before a Communist revolution can succeed
......1. Religious sentiment cannot be destroyed through legislation, as Lenin believed, but must be redirected from the divine to the state
.........a. Terror will only drive Religion underground
.........b. Religion will then reemerge when Leninism fails
.........c. So Religion must be destroyed in the minds of men
......2. Infiltrate religious academies and become priests and clergymen
.........a. Subtly promote heresy within religious organizations
.........b. Infiltrators must act so as to discredit the church
............(1) Cause financial and sexual scandals
............(2) See that this is given a high profile in the news
............(3) Like-minded infiltrators in the media will cooperate
......3. Once religion is discredited from within, continuously promote the idea that only the state can solve the problems that have been traditionally brought before the church
...F. When propagating revolutionary ideas, cloak them in polite terms
......1. National Consensus
......2. Popular Mandate
......3. National Pacification
......4. Pluralism
......5. Global Community
......6. Economic Justice
......7. Economic Democracy
......8. Liberation Theology
......9. Direct Action
...G. Marxists "must enter into every civil, cultural, and political activity in every nation, leavening them as yeast leavens bread."
Gramsci-(original Italian) = Gramschi = Gramski-(sp prefered by communists)

Look for the gubmit to soon require church attendance in order to get your tax refund or get certain deductions. The SCOTUS will uphold it. They'll do anything for the queers!

Did anyone ask GOD what he thought about this situation?
It seems to me since he is the true head of all churches maybe this would be a real good idea. Don't ya Think!
I told him today when I said my prayers and he actually said he finds it hard to believe that one of his churches filled with the faithful trying to get to heaven would sanctify a "Queer" <sorry got not speaking PC here< but, would someone please call him and let him know I'm not lying? Just tell him me name is CHA CHA CHA. He'll know who your talkng about.

I knew the Epicopalians were "losing it" when they started ordaining priestesses.
They have become a side show in a way.
It was sickening to see Rev. Gene Robinson showing off his boyfriend.
Man, I hate to say it but the Episcopalians are a joke now.
To: rhema
What more can be said at this juncture?
To: rhema
Before Monday's crucial vote, Robinson's supporters spoke much of being guided by "the Spirit." No doubt, they were. But whether it was the Holy Spirit is quite a different question.Ya think?

I admit, I was raised an Episcopalian. After the news of the gay unions and gay bishop...This is probably the last day I will admit to being one.

The entire sad episode reminds me of the communists gloating about how easy it was to take over the Presbyterian seminaries in the '60s.
Their blatant disregard of Biblical authority only increased continuously after that. I had to leave them because of it.
It looks like the Edwardian Granite Heap is going through the same death throes.

We have been fore warned many places in scriptures, such as Proverbs 7 and Jude about the orgainzed churches in the last days becoming apostate. These people are "pre-ordained" for this condemnation, Jude. They are having a high old time now, but it will be short lived. Eternity lasts a very long time.
Come out of her my people lest ye be partakers of her iniquities and receive of her punishments. It's time for the tuff to get going, we are in the last days and should draw ever closer to God in order to endure. Something wicked this way comes.

Sure, they are still a church. They are just not long a Christian one!
