Someone who meant his vows when the church gave him a collar and title

The Deacon's Slant

As a Deacon in Christ's One, Holy, Catholic, and Aposotolic Church, it falls to me to "interpret to the Church the needs, concerns and hopes of the world." [Book of Common Prayer, Ordination of Deacons, p.543]. What the world needs more than anything else is Jesus. TEC [The Episcopal Church] would rather give us litigation than Jesus. TEC would rather give us bureauracy than Jesus. TEC would rather give us unending arguments about the blessing of sin than give us Jesus.

We need Jesus. Please, Bishops and leaders in TEC, give us Jesus.
