Ping!
For the San Francisco church, it's almost a miracle that only 3 out of 7 candidates are openly of the homosexual persausion. It's best, though, to bring this disgusting boil to a head and lance the thing now, IMHO.
Wouldn't guess this bunch has any sense of history, but wouldn't it be sort of neat if one of these, er, people, were named Henrietta VIII ?
Ping!
Good morning...FYI..the San Francisco diocese has set up a website...www.episcopalbayarea.org..to post the votes LIVE as they come in...
After the Gene Robinson fiasco, it's evident that installing a horse as Archbishop of Canterbury would not faze most members of the Episcopal Church or the Anglican Communion.
Homosexuals only make up 2-3% of the human population as a whole. They probably just couldn't find anymore that were eligible.
Then the Episcopal Church has already lost.
It is time to "bring it on". Then, we can start the separation process.
It is really very simple, the non-believers versus the rest of us.
Let them have their non believing churches, priests and bishops. Then, they can marry dogs, donkeys and do Wicca celebrations, honor the Soltices and whatever they want to do. With the exception of a few churches in San Francisco, Boston, and other Gay centers, the gay churches, priests and Bishops will be financially broke in 2-5 years.
The rest of us then can continue to believe in God, Jesus, his death and resurrection and celebrate these beliefs every Church Service.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)
Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15
Might as well be homosexual themselves if they feel this way. How nice that they can contradict Scripture because they are so tolerant and accepting and "with it" in the 21st Century.
The sad thing is that they don't accept the authority of the Scriptures--or Tradition--or, even, reason. Their infidelity has made them , to use St. Paul's term" "mad" and like most madmen do not realize it.
At 2:15, they are reporting first ballot closed.
Eugene Sutton led with 117 and 39.66%
Mark Andrus had 71 and 24.07%
Jane Gould had 58 and 19.66%
All the rest were at 6% or below. Looks like it will be one of those three.
First Ballot,
Andrus got about 45% of the Clergy, 24% of the Lay
Second Ballot,
Andrus 62% of the Clergy 35% of the Lay
They have a poorly run web site. They should have stripped out the graphics for the heavy traffic period.
It looks like the Oscars in not choosing Brokeback Mountain, i.e., they decided not to thumb their noses at the Anglican Communion this time.
Andrus wins on third ballot
Mark Andrus clergy 188 72.0%* lay 161 54.6%
Thanks for the ping.
