What jewel the Church there is. We are always welcomed warmly by by those good Christian people to their beautiful old churches. I am afraid that, after all the lawsuits, that most of them will be repurposed as condos and shops. Mrs. Sciori would rather see that result than thriving Anglican Churches not under her thumb.lambertdwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643149254589749647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-43802819763438072452012-11-27T07:09:15.909-08:002012-11-27T07:09:15.909-08:00I sometimes wonder if the spirit TEC praises is th...I sometimes wonder if the spirit TEC praises is that contained in a bottle.

Another blogger calls it TEO, The Episcopal Organization. More like the Cosa Nostra, except fewer dead bodies.

Act...We have moved on! Thanks be to God! Alleluia! <br />Actually Mr. Haely, you are quite right. The Presiding Bishop's debacle that is TEC was the last argument in the Cof E debates over women bishops. There is no getting around the mess that is TEC. Even the Cof E understands now.

The one is bent on spreading the Gospel; the other is bent on a lust after bank accounts and real estate.<br /><br />In fact, I am gradually coming to the conclusion that the spectacle produced in ECUSA by the Presiding Bishop is the <b>real</b> reason why the Church of England decided not to have any women bishops for the time being.

People were gushing that ECUSA was clearly spirit led, and thus I presume these folks believe that they are perfectly functional and can do no wrong. <br /><br />Whereas, DSC and its standing committee likely believes they are following the will of the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />Competing spirits(pour me another glass Curmudgeon)!<br /><br />If I were to vote on which action was most likely to be from The Holy Spirit, I would vote for DSC.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
