I’m sorry but this scares me as much as what is going on in the Episcopal Church!! And I wonder where the Church is in all this.
I have seen the regard for God drop to nearly zero; likewise now we see the regard for the sanctity of marriage drop, too! What is Holy has become common.
Drjoan, do you not see a connection between TEC and this video? When cultural standards are eroded, then all standards tend toward the lowest common denominator. In America, the lcd is sex as the universal minimum, the universal solvent. For TEC, they call this inclusivity and so to homosexuality and its application, sodomy; there are no exclusions. For college students, its hooking up. The variants of sexual congress become fashionable – see broadcasting sex and profiting from it as well as deviancy. The only question is “Have we hit bottom yet?” Notice particularly that no one shows any sign of shame, guilt, remorse or any other “negative” response. Larry
No wonder the conservatives in the Islamic world thinks the West is immoral. A further tragedy is that any kid who tries to buck the “hooking up” lifestyle is made to feel like a prig. Alas, the US is only a few years behind the UK, where the marriage rate has plummeted. After all, why buy the cow when the milk comes for free? And what an awful example these unmarried “couples” are setting for their younger peers and the out of wedlock children they bear.
And we must ask, “What of privacy?” Intimacy in any usual sense has become meaningless so it makes a mockery of the notion of privacy.
And no one has asked (it appears) the bookseller if any woman in the future should trust him enough to marry him. Or if these women., whom in the past we would call whores in all correctness, will expect to find men who will trust them enough to marry them? Or indeed if they even intended to change their practices in the future? Larry
