Well, we sort of agree. They want the church's money and land in order to fund their non-stop push for legitimization; I also think they want to push other leftist causes as well.

Thsi is going on in all of the mainline Protestant denominations in which the property is owned by the church organization and not the local congregations. You don't see this type of push for takeover going on in the Baptists, the Assemblies of God, or other loosely organized churches that don't have a central authority. Taking over one Southern Baptist congregation isn't very profitable or likely.

Much better for them to get into the hierarchy of the Episcopals, the Methodists, the Lutherans, etc. In addition, they get a higher profile, since the mainline denominations are the ones that the media usually go to when they want opinions on a public controversy.

I have seen many denominations fighting this same battle with varying degrees of success for the Godly against the apostate. I am growing weary, but will not give up this fight as long as I have any strength left.

The weariness is also a function of this day - my first Fathers Day since my son passed away. It was very difficult for me to sit in a pew listening to a sermon about fatherhood this morning, and harder still to sing a hymn that was sung at my son's funeral. I love the soaring tune to "How Great Thou Art" but it now has a very sad connotation.

On a lighter note, take a look at this:

Just when you thought you had seen everything...

Because of their intolerant employer (The Holy Father), Cardinals Maphony, McCrackhead and O'Malleable are not able to make it, but they would like you all to know that they are with you in spirit.

A cult!

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.

I haven't gone the way of the majority with the Revised Common Lectionary so I'm still using the LBW series; today was Deuteronomy 5:12-15 and Mark 2:23-38 on Sabbath keeping. I used a portion of St. John Vianney's catechism, in no small part because I find his times in the heady, post-revolution, Enlightenment France of the mid 19th C so parallel to our own. Or one could find equally strong parallels in Luther's Large Catechism for much the same reasons. We humans tend to abuse liberty: this travesty in Columbus is yet another example of human ingratitude to God's gift of freedom in Christ.

Nailed it! Spot on!

I don't know how this man can look in the mirror. He's a total Narcissist who seems to care little about God or the chaos that he has caused in the Episcopalian church.

You are more correct than you know.

I am slightly acquainted with an ECUSA member from NH who sat with VGR on a couple of committees. Her assessment: "It's all about Gene."

Narcissism seems to figure very largely in the lives of most homosexuals I have known. It's certainly true with him.

I don't know how this man can look in the mirror. He's a total Narcissist who seems to care little about God or the chaos that he has caused in the Episcopalian church.

Some of it might also be the virulent independence of the American character and an unhealthy obsession with individual rights.

At roughly the same time that VGR was elected in NH an uncloseted homo was proposed for one of the major bishoprics in England, but when he saw the pending fallout in the C of E he rightly "stood down", in his words "for the sake of the Church."

Much as I dislike the Rick Warren fad and the empire spawned thereby, he is absolutely right with his starting premise It's not about YOU."
