The historic marriage of Episcopal Divinity School, dean and president, the Very Reverend Katherine Hancock Ragsdale and Mally Lloyd, Canon to the Ordinary, took place today at the Cathedral Church of St Paul in Boston.

The Episcopalian bishop of Massachusetts began 2011 by solemnizing the first lesbian marriage - of two senior Episcopalian clergy - at Boston's St Paul's Cathedral Saturday (January 1).

The marriage of Episcopal Divinity School, dean and president, the Very Reverend Katherine Hancock Ragsdale and Mally Lloyd, Canon to the Ordinary, was the first lesbian marriage solemnized by the Right Reverend M Thomas Shaw SSJE, Bishop Diocesan of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.

At the marriage attended by close to 400 guests, Bishop Shaw commented: “God always rejoices when two people who love each other make a life long commitment in marriage to go deeper into the heart of God through each other. It’s a profound pleasure for me to celebrate with God and my friends, the marriage of Katherine and Mally.”

The couple met on June 30, 2008, at the urging of a mutual friend. At the time, Canon Lloyd, 57, said, “We were both travelling a lot and so we would talk by phone. And somehow when you talk a lot by phone, a relationship can go deeper more quickly than when you spend time in person. At least that is what happened to us.”

Although this is a second marriage for Canon Lloyd, it is the first for Dean Ragsdale,52. “It’s astonishing how the world is changing,’’ Dean Ragsdale said, “when I grew up, I never believed I would be able to have someone special in my life and now to have almost 400 people show up to support us at our marriage ceremony is wonderful.”

Canon Lloyd says: “We have a lot in...........

"Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done."

That was the Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale in 2007, repetitiously inciting her disciples to be not just pro-choice but fanatically pro-abortion. This is significant because, according to standard journalistic stylebooks, Ragsdale does not exist. We're told that pro-choice folks don't like abortion; they're just trying to help a woman facing tragedy.

Ragsdale, though, says abortion is a "blessing," and not only in harsh situations but good ones: "When a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion—there is not a tragedy in sight—only blessing. The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education, life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply blessing."

SICK SICK SICK FREAK~!

Freak shows and circuses are making a big comeback in this country. It lends a whole new meaning to that “big tent” thing the politicians are always talking about.

EDS President Ragsdale: "Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done." Chanted repeatedly at the opening of some form of meeting or worship last summer at the EDS brothel.

She's a real beauty. How come we don't have the customary wedding picture of the happy "couple?"

[surroundedbyblue]

What twisted, wacko logic!!!!! This nut thinks she’s a Christian?!? That’s some strange brand on “Christianity” she’s preaching. Yikes! I hope people run fast & far from her “message”

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully, they used a calliope instead of the church organ to play the “wedding” march.

That church can never be Christian. It is infiltrated by Satan and all that is ugly and demeaning and nihilistic in the world. They turn the Bible upside down and urinate on it. Shame on them.

You can not distort and change the Bible to the degree they have done it and still claim it is Christian. So deluded and illogical.

This marriage is an abortion and an abomination. May the soon burn in hell for eternity.

The Episcopalian Church is no longer a Christian denomination. I have a friend who went through an Episcopal seminary. While he was there he was taught that most of the Christian faith was "myth", that "abortion is a blessing", that homosexuality is completely compatible with scripture, and even that homosexuality is a way to "elevate humanity to a higher plane of existence."

He left the church disgusted. Look at the Communist goals of the 1950s and 60s. Destroying cultural institutions, including infiltrating the church, was a goal that they have gone a long way to accomplish.

If we do not reverse course, God will destroy this nation.
