Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. Her pointed-hattedness Roskam is indeed out of touch with her flock. When last I looked at church Canons, the Laity have equal voice with the clergy in ALL matters coming before the convention. Roskam needs to go back to seminary where whe can re-learn the basics. I would prefer she get off her throne and shut her mouth. She is a disgrace to the episcopate.
(Excerpt)In the same way that God showed Saul of Tarsus that he was headed in the “wrong direction,” persecuting the new Christians, Dean Werner suggested that the current turmoil and division in the Church may be God’s way of letting all the combatants know that it is similarly misdirected.
I would suggest the proper Biblical passage is Revelation 2:20-23 where Jesus says:
". . .I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds."
