Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson Joined in Homosexual ‘civil union’

He maintains he is following the Holy Spirit in calling for this radical revision of Christian orthodoxy. Yet, he argues against the clear teaching of the Scriptures and unbroken teaching of the Christian tradition that reserve sexual activity to the loving, lifelong marriage bond between a married man and woman.

Clearly, Bishop Gene Robinson views himself as a liberator, and he is doing more to foster the splintering of the Anglican Communion worldwide singlehandedly than anyone else. He seems to take delight in both his celebrity and his self appointed task.

Now, the controversialist crusader for homosexual equivalency with marriage has entered into a “Civil Union” union with his male paramour, Mark Andrew, in a private ceremony conducted by a Justice of the Peace on Saturday June 7, 2008.

The Civil Ceremony was followed by a “Church Blessing” of the partnership at St. Paul's Church in Concord, New Hampshire. It occurred exactly five years to the day after Bishop Robinson was consecrated as a Bishop.

A spokesman for the crusading Bishop, Mike Barwell told the Press in a phone interview that the event was "absolutely joyful" and that it was attended by "A lot of his supporters and friends, including many members of the gay and lesbian community."

He has been on a promotional tour for his book, "In the Eye of the Storm". In it he defends the proposition that homosexuality, a practice which involves chosen sexual conduct between members of the same sex, should be given protected legal status under anti-discrimination and civil rights laws in the same manner as race or gender.

"In the Eye of the Storm"

Won't touch it.

I’ve heard it said that no major religion survives without adapting in some way to the host society or making the host society adapt. I see both sides of this in the church and in islam. I took a sabbatical from our church for six months last year when I (and Mrs jimfree) grew weary of the leftist sermons of the interim minister. The new permanent minister has yet to display the vanity that assumes Christianity implies leftist politics. The previous permanent minister I know to be left leaning but he did not usually confuse his roles on Sunday.

Um, I would suggest this for the Anglican ping list, but whether TEC is still Anglican is deeply suspect.

Q - How do you separate the men from the boys in the Episcopal Church?

A - With a crowbar.

I just can’t begin to fathom how a mind like his works.

I don’t think of this as a “singlehanded” split. Robinson may be at the center of the storm, but the storm is much larger than him.

The clash, in my opinion, is between much larger ways to view Christianity.

He is following a spirit - but it is not “holy”!!!!!

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The Marxists planned agenda is being fulfilled through useful idiots, though they will likewise be its victims as Western society eats itself up.

[John O]

I just can’t begin to fathom how a mind like his works.

It's covered by the second law of homosexuality:

To the mentally healthy person (heterosexual), sex is something you do; To the mentally diseased person ("homosexual"), sex is everything you are.

His mental disease controls every aspect of his life.

Membership in the cult of sexual deviance is nothing new. Recall the queer “priests” that molested hundreds of young boys. Next, they will be joining young boys and old “priests” in “holy matrimony.” Sad that 1% of the priesthood could do such damage to the Catholic Church, but I think that was part of the homosexual agenda all along.

A point worthy of discussion. Do we continue to ping on news of TEC lacking any reference to the wwAC or long-ago history? What says the ping list?

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail Huber or sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (sometimes 3-9 pings/day).

why are episcopalians bad chess players?

[mkjessup]

Because they can’t tell the damn difference between a Bishop and a Queen.
