Thanks to SimmerSaint for the post.

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.

If one's Episcopalian ancestors fought for the Union in the Civil War, is one exempt from reparations? What foolish piffle!

Sounds like one more reason for Episcopals to leave their wallet at home when they go to church.
