Did anyone notice?
The world wide Anglican Church this week
has upheld the traditional version of marriage
as a sacrament between men and women.
And they have taken some toys away from
the American Episcopalian Church for actually daring to assume that God loves all of Her Children.
Not too many people care one way or the other.
But for those of us who do care my comment, after pondering this issue deeply, is this:
What the frick is wrong with these people?
The Anglican Church has been trying for years to stave off a schism over this issue. The ball's in the US and Cdn Episcopalian/Anglican Churches' court now. Will they meekly accept censure or will they break away? Oh, the testing of principles! Remember what the Bible says: "He is like the refiner's fire."
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't know that one - had to look it up. Would that it were so and the North American church could purify itself of bigotry.
ReplyDeleteHow sad, Francie. My hope is that the upcoming generation will make a lot of changes and make it a better world. I've always said that sometimes entire generations have to die off so we can evolve. My two daughters (and all their friends) are so progressive and open and all-embracing that they give me a lot of hope for the future of humanity.
ReplyDeleteI think Morgan Freeman sums it up quite well Francie with his advice for those escaping truth on the universality of love behind 'homophobia' ... "I hate the word homophobia. It is not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole." :) ME
