Will the ‘hearing-challenged’ TEC hierachy ‘hear’ this?
Stand Firm, Sarah Hey, ‘Report from the Field: A Layperson in the Diocese of Los Angeles Writes Her Rector about Pledging’…
It greatly alarms me to see the Presiding Bishop – in a public interview with NPR from last year – so reluctant to state that Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.” She indicated He was a way, but not *the* way. Now, anyone as an individual can have their own opinions on this matter, but when the person is being interviewed as the national head of a Christian denomination I find that simply unbelievable.
I have an even bigger problem with her recent deposition in the Virginia lawsuit where she came out and admitted that she had refused to sell the Episcopal buildings to the departing congregations specifically because they were dissenters, and that if they had been any other denomination, or if the buildings were to be sold for secular purposes, she would not have a problem with it. That is discrimination and it is illegal. It also gives me a very poor view of the Presiding Bishop.
The TEC administration has been so busy with lawsuits, Millennium Development Goals and other time-consuming and useless activities that it overlooked the fact that an ordained priest was a practicing druid (see here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_24_121/ai_n8702459) and allowed his wife to publish a pagan rite masquerading as a feminine liturgy on the national Episcopal Church website. They just aren’t paying attention, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they are so infatuated with political correctness and “inclusivity” (a term I loathe) that they will accept anything that meets those standards without any interest in whether or not it is Christian.
