Yesterday I went back to church for the first time this year. I stopped last year for a variety of reasons, most selfishly because I rather liked having Sunday morning to myself. But I digress. 392 words.

The Episcopal Church elected a new Presiding Bishop Sunday. Oh yeah, and she’s a woman. This is perceived as a bold move by American Anglicans. 202 words.
Repeal The Stamp Act!. 2006-06-21 6:01 PM.

It would appear that the majority of people in the ECUSA (U.S. Episcopal Church), like our forefathers of the American Revolution defying the Stamp Act of 1765, prefer to thumb their noses at Mother England and the Windsor Report. Maybe that’s a slight over-dramatization of it, but it certainly doesn’t look like there’s much enthusiasm in the General Convention for apologizing about the consecration of Gene Robinson or the blessing of same-sex marriages, let alone reversing those actions. So I guess that means a schism of some sort is inevitable. 179 words.
Stamp Act Repeal, Part II. 2006-06-22 5:53 PM.

I blogged too soon about the ECUSA – the General Convention, at the last minute, caved in to Mother England. In response to the Windsor Report, the House of Bishops voted to “exercise restraint” in electing bishops “whose manner of life presents a challenge” to the Anglican Communion. While not technically a ban on electing gay bishops, it could be interpreted that way, because it would now take a super amazing gay priest to justify wading through all this political fallout again. 123 words.

NanoPost: Lambeth. 2008-07-23 9:21 PM.

With the upcoming 2008 Lambeth Conference, I’ve seen some reports lamenting the imminent demise of the ECUSA. It makes me wonder: Why exactly do we need these childishly squabbling human bureaucracies to have a relationship with God anyway? 38 words.
