The terms of the loan to the Potemkin diocese really do show that TEC is the proverbial dog in the manger, as you earlier noted.<br /><br />Speaking of the dog in the manger, and apologies for going a bit off-topic, but in researching for the eventual Falls Church/VA Supreme Court decision follow-up, I thought it would be helpful to check the ultimate fate of the church property of the former St. Bartholomew Episcopal in Tonawanda, NY, which until it departed for ACNA in late 2008 was the Diocese of Western New York's largest parish by attendance. The congregation left voluntarily, but certainly they would have been subject to a lawsuit if they had tried to keep the property. (The congregation is now St. Bartholomew Anglican, a vibrant ACNA congregation in a converted Jewish temple.) Sarah Hey blogged about subsequent events involving the formar St. Bartholomew's property (http://www.standfirminfaith.com/?/sf/page/25221), that a chuch named Holy Apostles was started with the remnant congregation under a young woman priest who was in over her head, and less than a year later that project was terminated by the bishop as hopeless. As it turns out, the former St. Bartholomew-Holy Apostles property is now occupied by a canine training business.<br /><br />http://www.connectwithyourk9.com/<br />http://www.connectwithyourk9.com/contact/index.html<br /><br />Talk about literally going to the dogs.Steven in Falls Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911937188910565687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-2515941515950172722010-06-15T17:54:55.935-07:002010-06-15T17:54:55.935-07:00"What if diversity makes unity?" asks th..."What if diversity makes unity?" asks the President of the House of Deputies. That is one of the dumbest questions I have ever heard. Diversity never <b>makes</b> unity. If you have a group of people who are united on one thing (Celtics fans, to use a very current illustration, united in their desire to see a championship flag), you will find that there will be a vast diversity in other aspects of their lives - but they will all want to see Boston win. In fact, if some so-called Celtics fans wanted to see the Lakers win, they would not be Celtics fans, and so could not be part of the group, by definition.<br /><br />Progressives talk about "reason," but they seldom use it.<br /><br />Very interesting about the UTO, the ECW, and TEC. It sounds like there is a great hunger for dollars, and not much compunction over how they are gotten. Progressives do not seem to use reason very well, but they are past-masters at rationalizing.Charlie Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726338596245954419noreply@blogger.com
