Why is the ECUSA going down the toilet? Because its members are smarter and more responsible and don't have enough kids to keep the membership up. Yeah, that's the ticket.
And in that vein, we strongly encourage the last of us to turn out the lights.

You were previously bishop of Nevada, but your new position requires you to live in New York City. Do you and your husband like it here?
He is actually in Nevada. He is a retired mathematician. He will be here in New York when it makes sense.
Well, if hubby's gonna wait til New York makes sense, the bishop's gonna be mighty lonely.
"We encourage people to pay attention to the stewardship of the earth and not use more than their portion."
The Episcopalians know that the real reason Jesus came to earth was to support the UN's Millenium Development Goals.
**Episcopalians aren’t interested in replenishing their ranks by having children?***
That's because they wear one of those "little rubber thingies on their kock!"
But to the Catholics..."every sperm is sacred...".
from Monty Python's THE MEANING OF LIFE.
"Have you met Pope Benedict? --- I have not. I think it would be really interesting."
My hunch is that Pople Benedict considers this lady ripe for conversion. She is a walking-talking, living-breathing "dictator" of relativism.'
I guess that's by comparison to real evangelization, which apparently involves converting the unsuspecting and innocent into sophisticated, refined people who "wisely" contracept their progeny out of existence, or something like that.
"Discover the love of Jesus in the Episcopal church, but don't share it with many children; that would be 'passive' evangelization."
"Passive"? Christian parenting can be many things, but "passive" is definitely not one of them.
Looking down his WASP nose at the "little people," no doubt.

Oh, I guess that we should just forget that command, by some deity to go forth and multiply, or that promise, that that same deity would always provide, if asked. Stupid me. Let me go off now and use my "portion" (Question, who determines what my portion is, me, or the politburo?)
So do Christians! They have a terrible history. Look at history in the Dark Ages. Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword. I think Muslims are poorly understood by the West, and it is easy to latch onto that which we do not understand and demonize it.
I'ts kind of interesting that Jefferts-Schori would focus on Charlemagne. The Frankish "Holy Roman Empire", cooked up by Charlemagne and whoever was Pope at the time, was rneant as an attack on the true Roman Empire, the one we call "Byzantine". If it weren't for Charlemagne, the West would be Orthodox (but not necessarily using the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom), and there would have been no need for the Reformation.
Of course, I would not expact an ignorant theolgical liberal like her to know anything about that, or its contemporary implications. Her implying that Catholics, etc. are "less educated" is truly ludicrous!!!!
Yes, both islam and Christianity have a history of violence. However, the Qu'ran sanctions violent jihad, conquest, and murder and oppression of non-muslims. The Bible does not. islam got its empire mainly via violent conquest, and Christianity did not. We can go on all day on this subject, but KJS is wrong and very shallow as usual!
