While not a member of that Diocese, I was offended by the nature of that address and concerned about its implications regarding both the Presiding Bishop's personal performance and the ultimate survival of the Episcopal Church in the United States.<br />My response is rather long (4500 words), but I thought that perhaps your members and readers might be interested in all or part of it; however, I would appreciate an opportunity to review any edited version of this essay prior to its use.<br />I would be happy to send a hard copy of it by mail, but it would perhaps be more efficient to send it as an attachment to your e-mail address if it is available.<br />Thank you for considering this contribution to the tragic "dialogue" in which the Church is currently engaged.<br />Arthur Lumpkin<br />alumpsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402221438560404675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-90019937621955859452013-03-07T20:20:52.439-08:002013-03-07T20:20:52.439-08:00The Potemkin diocese is at it again by now seeking...The Potemkin diocese is at it again by now seeking an injunction.<br /><br />http://www.episcopalchurchsc.org/legal-news.htmlGallettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062791988762007882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-59755027506018551172013-03-07T06:58:15.581-08:002013-03-07T06:58:15.581-08:00History records many examples of how the powerful ...History records many examples of how the powerful of megalomaniac can drive a mighty nation into disaster even though cooler heads see the danger. <br /><br />Von Rosenberg's strategy comes from above and reminds me of the doomed Von Paulus who was commanded to hold at all costs what parts of Stalingrad he claimed for the megalomaniac.<br /><br />Consumers of religious services is a dehumanizing term.
