Sorry . . . the orthodox Piskies and former Piskies are a bit touchy, having been attacked for years by the revisionists in every possible way -- personally, financially, religiously. It is the most cynical sort of character assassination in the name of religion that you can imagine. I'm just your average middle-aged churchgoing mom, who happens to believe in the Bible and the old tradition of the church, and my former rector called me backward and a homophobe and evil. Imagine that, and think how you would feel.

The revisionist bishops are now threatening to take away church property from people whose great-grandparents are buried in the cemetery, and defrocking priests for no reason other than that they refuse to agree that "the Holy Spirit is doing a new thing."

We got out in 2003 -- fortunately all our folks are buried in a family cemetery and not anywhere near our former church.

I am sorry, I know that is disappointing to you. I have had some disappointments in Church leadership before.

I have to say, I just got wind of this problem within your church during the Holidays, and my sister was telling me about it, and we were also having some wine, and Christmas Treats, so I might of just missed a few details. However my sister did not seem too Bruised, but she did mention her church was now associated with a Church in Africa. Whatever that means.

Then it was brought to my attention again with the Gerald Ford service at the National Cathedral.

I hope you find the right church for you, I like tradition in Church too. Don't care too much for the fancy stuff.
