COLUMBUS, OH: Bishop Katherine celebrates transgender Jesus

By Hans Zeiger VirtueOnline Correspondent www.virtueonline.org

COLUMBUS, OHIO (6/21/06)-While addressing a morning Eucharist at the 75th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop-elect Katherine Jefferts Schori declared, "Our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation. And you and I are His children."

With Jefferts Schori as the leader-to-be of the Episcopal Chuch, it seems that the church will move beyond gender-inclusive language to transgender-inclusive language.

Yesterday however, the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops refused to even consider a resolution that would affirm the exclusive Lordship of Jesus Christ as "the only name by which any person may be saved." The Rev. Canon Eugene McDowell of the Diocese of North Carolina explained, "This type of language was used in 1920s and 1930s to alienate the type of people who were executed. It was called the Holocaust."

Perhaps Episcopalians would be more receptive of a resolution affirming the supreme transexuality of

I'm glad that he "beat us to it", since I'm a relative latecomer to this petition. (My call for a boycott is new, however.) And I have no idea why he changed his blog name.

I will forward this to some of my ELCA friends.

Sadly, things may be to far over the cliff for that. A good friend nearly lost his faith in an ELCA seminary (they are NOT teaching the Christian God), and yet he has not the strength to leave.

Lord Have Mercy.

Good morning!

Have you seen an actual copy of the new book? I was under the impression that the full version is not available yet.

FReegards!

Of course not! The final text of the book has been a moving target--I believe deliberately. Now they are saying the "non-copyright sensitive" portions of the final book will be posted in July. See http://www.renewingworship.org/

Meanwhile, they are trying to STAMPEDE congregations into buying the book with those bogus "sample brochures" and that 12.5% discount for early orders.

Any congregation considering buying the book should just order one copy, and examine it both for theology and for music. Hopefully, they will then see the light and order not one more copy.

But the very best thing to do is to JOIN THE BOYCOTT NOW!!!! According to the Orthodox, even making "Father Son and Holy Spirit" optional is a very grave heresy. The Orthodox are very right!!!!

Mine just authorized transferring a couple grand from the Memorials fund to purchase LBW material, so I celebrated the 476th Anniversary of the Augsburg Confession by placing an order for 95 pew hymnals (good number, eh?) plus assorted other necessities. That will see us through the next quarter century until the pendulum swings back toward orthodoxy a/o the ELCA completely fragments.

Your congregation just spent money on pure poison. You need to make sure that these hymnals are never, never used, at least not for the liturgy or for the psalms.

Othewise, you need to swim the appropriate body of water, especially if you have kids!!!!

Look at The Episcopal Church (as it now calls itself). It will start breaking up this very year, and wlll be cut off from the Anglican Communion, the Orthodox, and the Roman Catholics. They are only sightly ahead on the curve from the ELCA, which will follow them into the same oblivion by the time of the next CWA.

Remember, in all of this, that God loves each and every Lutheran and Episcopalian. It may well be that he wants us to go back home to the Orthodox Church, so he is pulling the rug out from under us where we are!!! You in your congregation all might start by experiencing Orthodox worship for yourselves (in English) on a Sunday or two.

That's LBW, not ELW, right lightman? Good move. I bet they will go out of print rather quickly.

OK, so this might be a really dumb question, but is it true that the orthodox churches have no pews? People stand during the entire service? (Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but we studied church history this year in my homeschool group and that was one thing we learned.)

Usually (with many exceptions), Orthodox churches that are mainly first-generation immigrants have no pews, just a few folding chairs for those who cannot stand through a whole service. More Americanized Orthodox churches, even if they belong to ethnic jurisdictions (again with many exceptions), have either enough nicer chairs for everyone or they have pews.

ELCA Lutherans, whether they would ever think of swimming the Bosphorus or not, should experience Orthodox worship for themselves this summer, and not let little questions like this stop them. At the very least, they would learn why dispensing with "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" is such a grave heresy, and they thus would NEVER want to buy or use the new bogus hymnal.

Yea verily, Lutheran Book of Worship. A stockpile of 95 pew books plus organist editions and altar missal are on their way so that when the present ones wear out these can be put into service (and the old ones can then be rebound).
