Hat tip to titusonenine.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

It's not a good idea to question the power of God but they have free will and empty heads so.........they're welcome to the consequences.

Another Bishop Spong clone. I wonder why some Episcopalians even bother to call themselves "Christian," when they obviously stop being so long ago.

How pathetic. Justice Breyer's daughter is a screamiung leftist, boneheaded child, just like President Carter's daughter, Amy. You raise a child rootless, and you wind up with an adult who will say and believe anything, if it striked their fancy.

Did Breyer ever "consult with his daughter. Chloe," on judicial matters, the way Carter consulted with 8-year-old Amy on "nuclear terrorism"? Sounds like the blind leading the blind.

The Breyer Family . . . the gift that keeps on giving, apparently . . .

The sad case of Chloe Breyer draws attention to what is really going on in liberal seminaries, liberal theology, and liberal churches.

A wonderful review. It's obvious that the Rev. "Father" Chloe is a nitwit, but the implications of ordaining such a person are not so obvious. Sadly, she is typical of liberal clergy"men" today - just as her overly educated but equally dimwitted daddy is typical of liberal judges today.

Elitism has entrenched itself in the once humble-minded institutions of Biblical ministry. What a piece of work!

Makes ya wonder why they even call themselves Christian huh?

I am a Christian worshiping the Father in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition. This all makes me so sad.

I am blessed to be affiliated with a parish of true spirit filled Christians that just want to worship in what we believe is a very humble and reverent tradition.

The stain being left by the likes of Griswald, Spong and so forth is just horrible. I ask for y'alls prayers as General Convention 06 approaches in June 06.

I pray the split will accelerate and they can take their new found religion somewhere else and we Anglicans may continue on in the body of Christ without this shameful shameful schismatic lot.

The spiritual and moral bankruptcy of the mainline churches is frightening.

The Anglican Church is virtually Apostate. To brothers who hold on to Gospel parishes I echo what D,M,Lloyd Jones said 'Come out'. - your unity with unbelievers is unbiblical and you should come out - make plans to secede now!

What she is not, however, is theologically orthodox

Sort of goes without saying, when you're talking about a female priestess from the Church of What's Happening Now.

Vaguely recalling something about Breyer being Jewish (or of Jewish roots), I googled. I found this at Oyez: U.S. Supreme Court multimedia (whatever that means):

Contradictory in many ways, Stephen Gerald Breyer defied simple classification, as a man and as a judge. The first son of a middle-class San Francisco Jewish family, Breyer eventually married into a well-established family of the British aristocracy. . . .

. . . . Although Breyer's parents sent him and his brother to religious school, the family did not observe their Jewish faith strictly. [What a surprise!] . . . .

. . . . During this time, in 1967, Breyer met his future wife, Joanna Hare, the daughter of England's Lord John Blakenham. At the time, Hare worked as an assistant in the Washington office of London's Sunday Times. Breyer married Joanna in England in an Anglican ceremony, carefully edited to remove references to Christ. His marriage greatly increased his personal wealth and Breyer soon left the Justice Department and returned to Harvard to teach regulatory law. His wife became a psychologist at Boston's Dana Farber Clinic. The Breyers enjoyed a comfortable life among the Cambridge intellectual elite and raised two daughters, Chloe and Nell, and a son, Michael.

It would be nice if they changed the name of what they call their belief...

For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

Revelations 3: 17-18. Always good advice for those whose leaders are taking them into cloudcuckooland

Another round of this again? The Leftists are just going full bore, aren't they? They are not in the Church to learn or teach, only to destroy it.

This clown needs to crack open her Bible and read the following:

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Matthew 12:32

So Ms. Breyer doubts the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. But why stop there? The Resurrection is no less miraculous. Does she also doubt that Jesus arose from the dead?

The Anglican Church is virtually Apostate.

You're painting with a rather overbroad brush there. Certainly the Episcopal "leadership" is largely there -- but you're going to tar the entirety of the 77+ million membership worldwide with the actions of the "leaders" of the 2- million membership of ECUSA?

By the standards you've applied, the entire United States should be considered deep blue, politically.

She boasts that she is "not one of the people whom Committees on Ministry warn about -- someone whose faith crumbles upon learning that Moses, if he existed, probably did not write the first five books of the Bible."

Reminds me of a former sunday school teacher...
