Bishops/Dean: "thrilled" "elated" w/ "gifted" "inspiring" "Abortion is a Blessing" Rev Ragsdale
The Reformed Pastor ^ | March 30, 2009 | David Fischler

Thomas Shaw, the Bishop of Massachusetts:

“I am thrilled with the appointment of Katharine Ragsdale as the president and dean of EDS. She brings a wealth of small parish ministry to her new position and it is critical that the new president and dean be able to train and form parish priests for the growth of progressive parishes across the country. She brings a wealth of experience, talent and creativity to this new position.”

Dr. Angela Bauer-Levesque, acting academic dean:

“I am elated to have the Rev. Dr. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale join EDS as its first woman president and dean. As someone with stature in the church and in the world, she inspires excellence. Her commitments, energy, and clarity, combined with her astute analysis, her collaborative style, and her experience in fundraising will make EDS more boldly live out its purpose of educating lay and ordained leaders for the church and the world, dedicated to work for justice, foster diversity, and seek constructive change.”

Thomas Ely, Bishop of Vermont:

“The search committee sees in Katherine the right combination of a person of immense faith, demonstrated organizational and team leadership ability, a passion for academic excellence and quality theological education, formidable development skills, and the ability to be a strong, articulate, and inspiring voice for the mission of EDS, both within the Episcopal Church and beyond. From among the many gifted candidates we interviewed, Katherine Ragsdale overwhelmingly stands out as the one best equipped and called to lead EDS into this next exciting and promising chapter of our life and mission.”

So the Episcopal Divinity School will have as its new dean and president a High Priestess of the Moloch cult. From what she says on her blog, she is also a lesbian, which actually seems tame compared to her abortion fanaticism.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Any time you want to zap the infant murderers is alright with me. Actually there is much zapping that would be alright with me. Thank you.

Amen

"....The one best equipped and called to lead EDS into this next exciting and promising chapter of our life and mission.”

And what mission is that, to turn the church into a combo of Planned Parenthood and Code Pink?

That church has clearly turned into a Satanic cult.

“That church has clearly turned into a Satanic cult.”

Are there many? She’s now the Dean of an or the Episcopal Seminary. How many Church’s will they serve? I have no idea so was just wondering if you or anyone else knows. I pray not many.

I am reminded of a hymn parody in the satire mag “the Wittenburg Door”:

“Loving Lord pinch their heads off”

Folks like that are why people like me call ourselves “Anglicans” these days.

Better to be “Church of England” than the “Church of Homos and Lesbos.”
