Um... leaving aside for a moment the fact that Jesus is the SONof God, what does she say to the fact that there's historical records about a MAN named Jesus of Nazareth?
To: ichabod1
She sounds pretty nice, but its still dumping on conservatives.Oh, I think "dumping on conservatives" is quite a propos. Here she is with Louie Crew (LC in bold, Source: The Witness):
What about those who seem bent and determined to leave or to wound the body if they don't get their own way? I think they need to be challenged, more so than they have been. I see signs of hope in the House of Bishops, an unwillingness to continue to put up with bad behavior. We haven't seen any action yet, but I think it is coming.
Do you have any sense of what that action might be? Would a verbal rebuke be enough?
It won't be enough in some cases, I am sure. But I have the sense that there is some desire to hold each other accountable for actions that are not canonical, for actions that have the appearance of being downright schismatic.
She sounds downright inclusive, no?

But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jez'ebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality.
Behold, I will throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her doings; and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve.
Revelation 2:20-23

This is the kind of nonsense one might hear at the local Unitarian church on any given Sunday.

Perchance she was drinking mushroom soup?

To: lightman
Believe it or not, I've heard worse IMO: an Easter message delivered by an ELCA pastor focusing on butterflies and flowers. Resurrection Sunday, and no mention of the Gospel or Jesus' redeeming us from sin - just a tale of finding encouragement in butterflies and flowers, nature's symbols that we can hope for a fresh beginning.
Still, this ranks up there with that. Swap out the butterflies for this trans-gendered Jesus, and the message is similar.

There is actually some theological basis for what she said, but it still sounds very strange. Jesus is both mother and father to us.
While Jesus can do whatever He wants, technically speaking He is neither mother *or* father. He's the Son of God (or God the Son).

I am just shaking my head...
To the traditional Anglican FReepers out there, my prayers are with you.

This is what St. Paul had in mind when he bade women be silent in church.

ARRGGGHHHH! Sometimes I wish God was still into the fire and brimstone thing. or maybe just a wee bit of a plague?
Between the New Yorkers not allowing a skating rink to play Christian music on a skate night and these churches becoming touchy-feely social clubs...think my head's gonna bust open.
To: ConservativeMind
How did the corruption in the Episcopal church ever get so deep?They fired all their hellfire and damnation preachers.
Now they preach an inclusive message, where sin is nonexistent and God is a fairy.

...an Easter message delivered by an ELCA pastor focusing on butterflies ... Outside our local ELCA church there is a cross with a large butterfly on it. A Monarch, I think.
