Not much more to say about the Episcopal Church

I think they are profoundly wrong on a long list of issues and approaches. But even if they are right, the leaders of the new Episcopalian religion are putting on a quite a demonstration of how to mismanage change and how to put the needs of a very few above the well being of many more, and how to put short term emotion ahead of long term health.

I might comment more on the General Convention of this new sect, or I might not. Depends on if anything different emerges from all of the foolishness and the spin that tries to mask it as something better.

A dear lady gave me a prayer card featuring a smiling Jesus. Good reminder. It was a joyful "Hail!" he offered to those who first saw him victorious over death, his earthly mission complete and his mysterious creation of the new heavens and new earth underway. The burlesque in Anaheim, CA has no power over that.

A few passages of Scripture come to mind:

Psalm 2:2-4

Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt,and the princes plot together,

against the LORD and against his Anointed?

"Let us break their yoke," they say;

"let us cast off their bonds from us."

He whose throne is in heaven is laughing;

the Lord has them in derision.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Though the fig tree does not blossom,

and no fruit is on the vines;

though the produce of the olive fails

and the fields yield no food;

though the flock is cut off from the fold

and there is no herd in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord;

I will exult in the God of my salvation.

God, the Lord, is my strength;

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

and makes me tread upon the heights.
