    Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (I would imagine).

    I can think of several but they would be deleted immediately by the elves.

    Amen, Kendall.
    That’s part of why I believe the Lord is calling us to “look to the Lord until he show us his mercy.” (Ps 123:3)

  5. Bruce says:

    Thanks to Rob especially for setting up the intercession roster, and for all the good prayers to surround us as we go out to Anaheim. It will I think be a challenging time in many ways. But there may be a blessing in it as well.

    Pittsburgh C-4 this time, though I would rather we were being represented by the folks elected in 2007 . . . .

  6. Jeremy Bonner says:

    Good luck Bruce.

    Try and visit with the Archbishop-Elect of the Congo and his wife (who will be in Anaheim). He celebrated at the Cathedral on Friday despite being just off the plane and is a truly delightful person (and a homilist who speaks from the heart).

    After Integrity and their fellow travelers captivate GC with tales of woe and guilt the delegates will fall down and give them anything. Never once will it be brought out that the actions of THIS Convention will be the 1st official endorsements of [immorality] and a redefinition of marriage of a major Christian group in 2,000 years. That’s because too many in attendance will fancy themselves in the same prophetic line as Ridley and Cramner who reformed the Church generations ago.
    But, I truly hope that parishes around the Province will be even more prophetic in response. As for me, I thank GOD that Thomas Jefferson granted religious bodies in Virginia the right to decide their own destiny when an overbearing ecclesiastical body is intemperate.
    We’ll avail ourselves of the rights of Virginians and start to part company with these impetuous and overinduldged false prophets.
