Not only would the TEC Diocese not let us leave with so much as a communion set (#1), but letters were written by the living donors (who had made gifts to us in the interim) stating their clear intention to make their donations to the departing Anglican congregation. These were scanned and forwarded by our lawyer to the EDOP lawyer, all to no avail. The Episcopal Diocese did not honor those requests. Some of the gifts they retained and some they offered to us for purchase, hence our responseThe Rev Canon Dr David Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09878281384587956210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-56625128205163419492012-06-01T10:47:15.109-07:002012-06-01T10:47:15.109-07:00Well done.

When Christians start obsessing about material property then we have a problem. Let the heretics have the empty buildings. I can't think of a better symbol of what TEO has become.John (Ad Orientem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14329907942477160166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-51056411742462670742012-06-01T10:33:45.955-07:002012-06-01T10:33:45.955-07:00This was my late father's last parish before h...This was my late father's last parish before he retired (at 86)- he served and loved these folks for many years, and they are dear to me.<br /><br />The TEC Diocese would not let the departing parish leave with as much as a communion set to celebrate the Eucharist. Part of me rejoices for them (Free at last, thank God Almighty!), and part of me mourns - mostly for the TEC Diocese and their mean-spirited ways. May they have a "road to Damascus" experience and soon. They hurt themselves ever so much more than the hurt that they inflict on others.SometimesWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174877906545481652noreply@blogger.com
