The Parable of the Canine and the Carpet

Once a brother and sister were playing in the parlor. The sister noticed a foul odor coming from the livingroom.

"There's a foul odor coming from the livingroom," she said.

"We should look into this," the brother said. "After all, we do live here."

So, together they left the parlor and entered the livingroom. The foul odor was even more powerful. Their eyes began to water and they both had to plug their noses with their fingers.

With her free hand, the sister pointed across the room. There stood their dog, named Fido. Their parents gave them the dog as a guardian and playmate. To the brother and sister, the dog was part of the family.

Now, however, the dog stood over a pile of his own feces, which he had dropped in the middle of the nice, clean rug. The dog smiled triumphantly over his accomplishment, until he saw the looks of disgust on the faces of the brother and sister. Then he heard the thud of car doors closing outside. The parents were home.

The dog's smile became a frown as he stared at the brother and sister. "This room stinks!" the dog said. "And it's your fault!"

God does not do new things. (that's a period at the end)

I don't think I would want to put my salvation in with a "go with the flow" god. I'll stick to the tennants of the one true God.

Since the Presiding Bish so openly and clearly states that he is starting a new religion, then to the extent that he believes in the right of the individual to worship freely as he chooses, he should recognize the rights of those Anglicans who do not embrace his new religion to continue to worship and believe as they have always done.

God is doing a new thing

God's not, but Griswold is: he's now grasping at straws.

The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (USA) told the Anglican Consultative Council that "God is doing a new thing,"

Talk about a theological heavy hitter.

The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (USA) told the Anglican Consultative Council that "God is doing a new thing," thereby justifying his support for redefining Christian sexual ethics.

Explain something to me. Is the Presiding Bishop claiming to have received new revelation from God on this?

When God wanted the early Apostles to do "a new thing" and take the gospel to the Gentiles, he revealed his will to Peter in a vision (Acts Chapter 10). Is the bishop saying that he or the Consultive Council have received such a vsision from God?

"The Parable of the Canine and the Carpet"

Priceless! Did you write this? And, if so, may I have permission to use it?

Oops. I should have read more carefully. Anyway, one of us should have written it. Thanks for posting it.
