The act, California Civil Code Sections 3439 to 3439.14, specifies that any real or personal property, bank account funds, safety deposit box valuables, annuities, stocks and bonds are no longer yours to transfer."Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032578136603330987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-77926754622722362382016-09-13T08:17:06.251-07:002016-09-13T08:17:06.251-07:00As a fortunate member of a parish which remains o...As a fortunate member of a parish which remains orthodox (an isolated pocket of resistance in an increasingly apostate TEC), and a lawyer as well, i read all of Mr. Haley's pieces which are picked up by Kendall Harmon's site, and I am very thankful for them both. Mr. Haley, please continue the good work. I regret but certainly understand your decision to become ex-Episcopalian, and but for my fortunate circumstances I would traveled that road myself. Even so, I am weary of explaining, "I'm Episcopalian, but Christian."<br /><br />Is the South Carolina Supreme Court still silent? Having followed South Carolina for some years now, i would have thought that the decision to uphold the trial court would have been fairly obvious, even with the addition of two new justices. The failure of one of the new justices to recuse herself was in my view an Olympian shrug of contempt for judicial ethics.<br />E.

The trial took place in Manhattan and attracted daily ridiculing reports in the New York Times, which embarrassed the bishops so much that that the memory of it seemingly played a role in the decision of the House of bishops not to bring formal charges against Bishop Pike in 1967.William Tighehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634494183165592707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-29188398386378845022016-09-12T14:52:16.476-07:002016-09-12T14:52:16.476-07:00By coincidence, a discussion of good vs. bad bisho...By coincidence, a discussion of good vs. bad bishop characteristics is explored insightfully in the context of present and recent historical ECUSA/Anglican bishops, in a post from Canon Phil Ashey: https://americananglican.org/current-news/expect-bishops/LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259338463561745614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-37231447483807621302016-09-11T14:24:34.765-07:002016-09-11T14:24:34.765-07:00Bruno is a bad bishop and shouldn't be one. I ...Bruno is a bad bishop and shouldn't be one. I am fascinated to consider how ECUSA came to be so corrupt. When they ended up with John Spong as a bishop, things must have already been pretty bad in the leadership. I guess it just rotted out and has been disintegrating for several decades. It appears that all denominations are subject to this sort of entropy. The Bible is full of stories about priests and teachers going bad, even thousands of years ago; I suppose it is the lot of mankind to strive against this sort of thing until the end. It encourages me to think that this is nothing new. And knowing that many people have left ECUSA as it declined morally, gives me hope.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259338463561745614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-33651943758682309302016-09-09T11:29:34.157-07:002016-09-09T11:29:34.157-07:00He could attribute it all to too much helmet-to-he...He could attribute it all to too much helmet-to-helmet contact back in the day.Alto en chamadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099000363883633775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-34796458930667609422016-09-07T14:35:51.496-07:002016-09-07T14:35:51.496-07:00That's a big 30 - 12, good buddy (I'm in...That's a big 30 - 12, good buddy (I'm in Texas so we have to triple the 10 - 4).

AC writes to share the nature of his worthless defense, exposing these things for others to read. Would Fr Ron like to hide Bishop Bruno's legal tactics from the LIGHT of the TRUTH? Why yes, I daresay this is precisely the way it looks to this reader. In fact, it is precisely the changing of the rules for Bishops, Clergy, and Laypeople which caused ECUSA's own rifts.<br /><br />My family and I visited St. James-Newport Beach on more than one occasion while living in SoCal before its terrible demise. They were once a church community, and many of its original attendees are still faithful Christians despite the church's efforts to mislead and to destroy these folks.<br /><br />One can properly examine the facts, if one cares to take the necessary time to learn about them. Thanks once again to AC, for sharing the relevant conundrum. <br /><br />PS Thanks for sharing the older link; I think that I recalled it before.
