"The Gospel is NOT for sale!!"

And the Africans are NOT for sale!!

God bless and preserve them.

My vestry and parish have decided to redirect the funds that would have otherwise gone to the ECUSA national office to be sent to a mission organization which deals with the African Church instead.

May I invite and urge fellow orthodox Anglicans (and anyone else who wants to) to redirect their giving to our courageous sisters and brothers whose faith and integrity puts us to shame.

Blessings to all. To God alone be all glory.

Considering those things, we were shocked to receive a letter from you informing us of your decision to send a delegation to the enthronement of our new Archbishop in January, and your intention for the delegation to bring aid and assistance for the people who live in desperate conditions in the camps in Gulu that you have ignored for years.

Recent comments by your staff suggesting that your proposed visit demonstrates that normal relations with the Church of Uganda continue, have made your message clear: If we fall silent about what you have done promoting unbiblical sexual immorality and we overturn or ignore the decision to declare a severing of relationship with ECUSA, poor displaced persons will receive Aid. Here is our response: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not for sale, even among the poorest of us who have no money. Eternal life, obedience to Jesus Christ, and conforming to His Word are more important.

Wow, "thy money perish with thee!"

It is sick that Griswold, knowing full well the poverty of the Ugandans he had previously ignored, tried to weasel in a delegation with a bribe. The Ugandan Church would have shared communion with the heretics they had formerly broken with during the enthronement of the new head of the Anglican Church in Uganda. That would have been breaking ranks with the other African orthodox dioceses for desperately need aid, and used by the heretics as proof that even the most faithful could be bought. Griswold cynically tried but the Ugandans told him to take a hike, they wouldn't sell the Gospel!

How bright the Anglican Ugandans shine, and how abysmal is Griswold.
