This article is a parody of itself. TEC is going to H__l in a hand basket and they are issuing a letter on racism and getting ready to quit being religious and start being legislative. And they can’t figure out what the problem is.
Part of the problem here is that TEC has an outsized, outdated view of its influence. There was a time, long since passed, when Episcopal Church bishops had an influential voice in the public space. Dreaming of this past, these people now offer guidance on nearly everything.
#2, Fr. Tee, it appears to be about alcohol and drug abuse, based on the several paragraphs following. This is perhaps their response to Heather Cook’s murder charge. They’ve appointed a commission. Hooray! All will be well!
They also, according to this, have a lingering problem with pervasive racism in their churches. I wonder if the people in the pews on Sundays know this.
#4, That was my point. Racism is bad. But TEC, with is numerous problems and faults, is probably the most non-racist institution in America, maybe in the world. It wouldbe nice if the bishops would address some probelm that they actually have.

Yes, I know, David Keller. I was being sarcastic. They can blather on about this because they know they don’t really have to do anything.
