I love it when those who insist that the Episcopal Church has always embraced a wide diversity of views, doesn't "have the answers," and is a place where we're all encouraged to "find our own truths"... also insist that they have the correct view, the right answer, and the undeniable truth. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Susan Russell:
It appears some within the Anglican Communion do not understand the situation as some of us within the Episcopal Church see it. It does not matter what the primates do. It does not matter what Dr. Williams says. Because, regardless of the consequences, discrimination based on race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities or age, is always wrong, and contrary to the Good News of God made known to us through Jesus Christ.
In the words of Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning, "in this Church there will be no outcasts." Let those who desire to once again put in place a human hierarchy of being do what they must. We will not be swayed by threats of exclusion or punishment. We will not repent, because we believe, with no equivocation, that we have not only done nothing requiring such repentance, but that we are championing God's vision of the Kingdom. We will continue to stand against discrimination and bigotry because it is the right thing to do.
The EEOC is their gospel, I guess . . .
With all due apologies (and sympathies) to the still-faithful Episcopalians on (and not on) this list...
I'm pretty sure even the EEOC does not protect against "discrimination" on the basis of sexual orientation.
There we have it--this fat lesbian's whole blog begins with the same GRAVE HERESY that so characterizes Jefferts-Schori's every pronouncement.
It is God who brings in his kingdom, not humans as Jefferts-Schori and "Sister"-What's-Her-Name say!!!!
Lesbians--whether fat of not--should just SHUT UP!!!! We've all had more than enough! How's that for "discrimination"?
