FYI..what gives?
Apparently Rev. Linsley resigned as a priest when Robinson was made a bishop.
Just to clarify in the instance of Alice Linsley, who got the inhibition letter from Sauls because of her "association" with St. Andrew's Anglican--She is not a priest there--not officially or unofficially. She has a civilian job and just worships there and teaches an adult ed Sunday School class. So Sauls is inhibiting her from something she is not even doing because of this "association" i.e. attending an Anglican church for worship. # Posted by: BettyLee Payne at January 27, 2005 11:10 PM
It is odd reading about myself on this blog. Bettylee Payne is correct. I am inhibited for something I'm not even doing and have no intention of doing, that is, functioning as a priest. Sauls will defrock me, of that I am confident. It will be a complete waste of his time. God is my boss, not Bishop Sauls. I stand with the Africans who, I believe, have an authentic reading of the Scriptures, especially the Old Testament. The African bishops in question speak a language that is cognate to Hebrew, and the cultural context of Abraham's people was African so no wonder they resonate with the biblical text. # Posted by: Alice C.

The moral decline results from two seemingly opposite cultural developments in Western Civilization: relativism and absolutism. Bible believers play a significant role in salvaging American society by teaching to our children the moral absolutes that can help them to become great future leaders....(continued at: http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/digest/digest_2005-14.php )
