Our bishops have one more opportunity to make their voices heard in their Indaba groups tomorrow before this “draft” comes final and I know for a fact certain that many of them have been doing precisely that against extraordinary odds and at significant cost.
Pray for the bishops. Pray for the church. And pray that we refuse to settle for “well, it could have been worse” … and that we continue to challenge this church and communion of ours to live up to its high calling to BE the Body of Christ in the World.
A lot of pain and anger and hurt there, makes the heart sad–read it all.
From D.H.:
I guess there is plenty of “pain and anger and hurt” going around for everyone. As one of those so-called bigoted, biased and ignorant people who resides as a “stranger outside the gate” of a diocese that has embraced TEC’s new theology and practice, I guess I know how she feels. I wish I had words of comfort for her and for myself. May God have mercy on our souls.
