Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

I have hopes for a rational resolution to this issue, but I sense that Smith will not approach this meeting with an open mind. I believe he is determined to install a gay bishop in Connecticut, and will not be dissuaded.

That said, I cannot for the life of me understand the genesis of this determination to drop the church into a state of apostasy and defy the Word of God.

The Bishop understandably is concerned that meeting with these parishes as a group and making a common covenant with them would set a dangerous precedent that would invite other interest blocks, all the parishes wanting immediate same sex marriage for instance, to follow suit.

Oh good grief, the Bishop wouldn't mind 'interest blocks' demanding same sex marriages. He just doesn't like the opposition to that, or to the ordination of divorced fornicating homosexual bishops, that's all.

It's this mealy-mouthed pap designed to obfuscate the pluriformed Episcopalian proletariat that will eventually inundate all the rectors stalked by the grisly demons haunting the Dromintene halls.

(Maybe I should lay off trying to read Griswold's gibberish.)
