"In the decade since I left the Senate, American politics has been characterized by two phenomena: the increased activism of the Christian right … and the collapse of bipartisan collegiality." Methinks your list is incomplete, John. Willfully so?

Sen. Danforth seems to have gone 'round the bend. Dad always said he was squirrelly.

so after the gay blessing does he get a reach around in payment for his services. reverend ? not.

“I would welcome into the full life of the Church a committed same-sex couple, and I would bless such a relationship, but I would not call it marriage, and I would not conduct the blessing in a way that made it appear to be a marriage,” he said, adding that “all of this is hypothetical, as I have retired from the active ministry, and decline to officiate at weddings except for close family members.”

This guy calls himself a Christian clergyman, and yet he would participate in a rite that sanctions and promotes and "sanctifies" homosexual activity, which by its very nature is sinful and has always and everywhere been held such in the Christian church? And also, where does this jerk get off claiming that one cannot have a principled opposition to civil same sex marriage and seek a constitutional amendment to prevent activist judges from imposing such without being "gay bashers"?

Danforth is a coward trying to take the middle road. Either that or he's just a loser.

I guess he beleives in an evolving bible as well as an evolving constitution. I think somewhere in the bible it says God does not change. Something about the same yesterday, today and forever. Wonder if he has read that. He is one of those it depends of what the meaning of is is.

A retired Episcopal priest who was a seminary professor "spoke" at our church right after the abominable convention consecrating the "Gay Gene" Robinson. (This is the only way I use the term "gay" Everyone who knows me, and some who don't, know that I insist on homosexuals being referred to as homosexuals.)

This priest also spewed this same nonsense. So, it must be in the Liberal "talking Points Memo." As he had "spoken" or I should say "lectured" us before on the the Holy Bible containing many Old Babylonian Myths, I guess he feels the Old Babylonians were around before the Creation, I never go when he is "speaking."

I spoke to one woman afterwards and she told me what he said and how she thought it was a wonderful "sermon" right after the consecration of a homosexual, to show that the Episcopal Church was understanding of homosoexuals but not going to equate them with married men and women.

My response to her was, "He must be a member of the Church of Laodicea. So tell me, you would have no qualms about the church blessing the relationship of your husband and his mistress?"

She said, "Oh,that's silly."

I told her to read Exodus and Romans and then tell me how silly it sounded to her then.

[RobbyS]

A bit like blessing an adulterous affair between a married man and his mistress.
