Oh, Really? Need We Say More?

If you are concerned about the effects of the elevation of Presiding Bishop Kate Schorri on the religious of the United States, you have got to read this:

As a woman Moderator of a very Twenty-first Century church, Metropolitan Community Churches, I felt enormous compassion and solidarity with Presiding Bishop (Primate) Katharine Jefferts Schori as she recently traveled to Tanzania in her historic role as the first and only woman to serve as the leader of a member church of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

And it gets better from that opening statement. This is a long read, but very informative, particularly when taken with +Bennison's article, posted below. However, do not open this link with a mouthful of coffee.

Then, there is this, from +Steven Charleston,

We affirm the words of our friend and colleague, the Rt. Reverend Steven Charleston, Bishop and Dean of The Episcopal Divinity School: "We will not change our devotion to doing what we believe is right. We will not delay justice for the sake of making our lives easier. We will not deny a truth that we are certain is from God. We will not play politics with human lives."

Oh, Really? Read on MacDuff, it just gets better.

A Great Easter Service

We drove up to Fairburn early this morning to provide special music for the UMC there that we serve on occasion. A beautiful Resurrection Day, a smallish crowd, but more than they have had for a while, several great small, but intense, sermons by their pastor, a great brunch and then back to Hot Springs for a Mass of the Resurrection.

God is good, God is great, God is wonderful...as the old Gospel song goes, and how true that is.

Not much to be added this week to the blog. I will be east-river for a training seminar from early Wednesday until early Sunday...without net access!
