["I cannot imagine why people would choose to exclude people who don't believe like them from their church"
Incredible. If I knew any neo-Nazis or KKK folk, I'd suggest to them that they put "Andees Zetterbaum"'s inclusivity to the test.
But I don't, so I can't.

Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

[AnalogReigns]

The controversy in the Episcopal Church that started three years ago with a gay bishop's consecration reached a breaking point

Anyone who believes this controversy is just 3 years old has a very shallow understanding of what is going on--and the fact that this struggle is generations old.

The very title ("Rift over sexuality, gender could split Episcopal Church") shows this reporter to be biased, and ignorant (willfully or not...) that this issue is the authority of scripture, not sex.

The fact Ms. Kaplan ends the article with a quote about exclusion and the love of Jesus betrays her serious bias.

[Mad Dawg]

What would the lady to whom you refere say if I said,I don't believe the greatest command is what you say it is."

But anyway, that's not why I'm posting. Here's what got me percolating:

>"Dioceses and congregations don't leave. People do," said Jan Nunley, a representative of the national church. "We've had bishops say, 'I resign,' but we've never had one say, 'I resign my responsibility to the Episcopal Church, but I'm not leaving.' "

Oh yes we have, honey! The names Pike and Spong leap to mind -- and the geniuses who ordained the Philadelphia eleven. Those people renounced their reponsibility to the Episcopal Church. it's just that in those cases TEC said, "Hey, no problem! Don't go away mad. Don't go away at all!"

is there a web site to explain the difference between Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Methodist, Baptists, Lutherans, 7th Day Adventist, etc, etc...

I just want to know what is the difference? I was hoping that a web site could cover the differences in a concise manner. Any help out there.

thanks.
