Rev. Canon Dr. Kendall Harmon,
I am somewhat confused by this thread. Who is agreeing with you and what is their background that this is unusual? What is the website about?
Dcn Dale,
From the pictures on his website, I believe that the priest in question (or person in question) is a person who believes the creeds, but sees no problem with blessing same sex behavior. The people in this group (and, let’s face it, everyone who thingks the church should bless SSUsbelieves they are in this group) can usually be identified for real by their reactions to Bishops or Priests in the Church who espouse non-trinitarian and non-chalcedonian theology. Evidently Forrester and Holmes-Redding where just too much for the blog author.
Dale,
It’s about core doctrine. Despite his “progressiveness”, the owner of the webblog “Betwixt….” is clearly a believer in a Christian core doctrine, as is Kendall. To that end, Kendall is quoted (and I paraphrase), “Without core doctrine you ain’t got nothin'” (read the intent of the statement, not the double negative). They agree Kevin T-F ain’t got it, and therefore he should not be a bishop.
However, Christopher from Betwixt has not yet gotten up to speed with Kendall on the consequences of the existence of core doctrine (or you might say, the essentials). Which would be _______________________ (you fill in the blank – I just want to test your training – once an examining chaplain, always obnoxious…).

The Creeds make for strange bedfellows sometimes.

4. Phillip Snyder,
I’m glad you are not much clearer than I am. It would have helped with a better thread set up by KH. Thanks
