I'm Lakota and my church was closed down by your dad and his crazy bunch of cronnies. I think your daddy's new nickname "Hitler Robertson" fits him just fine. If I walked in your daddy's shoes I would definitely take my role as a Bishop more seriously. Your daddy should've stepped down when he first became ill. Now, your daddy has breeded a sick, dysfunctional diocese. I hope Hitler sleeps good at night because he's caused lots of pain and suffering. I know of a elder who died of a heart attack over his loss of his dear church...thanks to Hitler. Oh...and thanks, and peace to you too Juliana Robertson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-61632192005625160352009-02-03T09:56:00.000-06:002009-02-03T09:56:00.000-06:00to anonymous: yes i am Creighton's daughter...yet...to anonymous: yes i am Creighton's daughter...yet, i am disappointed with how he is handling things, calling him HITLER ROBERTSON, to me, is a bit over the edge. he is a human being and this cannot be easy for him, and we must all try to walk in his shoes...i doubt he sleeps well at night, he does care genuinely about people, he is not a BAD man, he has just lost sight of certain things....he is my father and i love him...i understand your venomous lash at him is out of frusteration, but if you are a true christian, rethink the way that frusteration is revealed..... thanks, peace,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-19472438502868889272008-10-24T17:26:00.000-05:002008-10-24T17:26:00.000-05:00To: Juliana Robertson...I'm speechless.

It means, also, that we duly honor the diligence and fidelity, and thoughtfulness and perseverance with which the weighty duties of your solemn office have been performed, and appreciate the loving kindness and sympathy that have gone out from the heart of our Chief Pastor to the people of his flock."<BR/>(from Northern Plains Anglican, August 4, 2008) <BR/><BR/><BR/>http://northernplainsanglicans.blogspot.com/2008/08/let-us-be-clothed-with-christ-for.html<BR/><BR/>Also see the Niobrara Cross Bishop Hare designed for the Native American Christians. <BR/>http://northernplainsanglicans.blogspot.com/2008/08/niobrara-cross-for-rosebud-day-37.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-42562245964250760552008-10-11T12:58:00.000-05:002008-10-11T12:58:00.000-05:00Dear Father God, I pray for this man who has take...Dear Father God, I pray for this man who has taken the office of bishop, that you will confront and convict him, make the light of Your countenance (from which nothing can hide) to shine upon him, pierce his heart with your holy sword, and bring him to godly sorrow unto repentance.<BR/>Let your eyes expose all lies, secrets, injustice, idolatry, occult, power-mongering and other evils throughout the House of Bishops of the Episcopal church and the UMC, ELCA, PCUSA, UCC and others that mis-use the name and the resources and the flock of Jesus Christ.<BR/>Let judgment begin in the household of faith.<BR/>Bring down the imposters and install true shepherds and priests...those with servants hearts.<BR/>In the name of Jesus Christ, AmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-7972568887569138372008-10-10T18:07:00.000-05:002008-10-10T18:07:00.000-05:00Lord, I ask your prayers for the people shut out b...Lord, I ask your prayers for the people shut out by the hardened heart of the bishop of South Dakota. <BR/><BR/>May you grant courage to them in their quest for justice.<BR/><BR/>May you also give courage to others to make public their stories of the obvious mismanagement of the resources of what WAS the lively spiritual heritage - of The Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Lord.

I posted my comment about it on Stand Firm before I saw your approach to it here. And I too was immediately struck by the odd fact that this dirty laundry was being aired by a most unlikely news source, TEC's own inhouse news service, ENS. You have to wonder why.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that the officials in New York have concluded that +Robertson's sins are so blatant and indefensible that he can now, like +Bennison of Philadelphia, be thrown under the bus.<BR/><BR/>But I'm wondering about something that some of you could probably clear up. Normally when a bishop screws up so badly and anger builds to this level, +Clay Matthews is called in from the national headquarters to investigate matters and mediate the dispute between the embattled bishop and the angry diocesan leaders. Can anyone there in SD verify if +Matthews was ever called in to help? If not, you have to wonder why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-43596392105078625572008-10-10T13:22:00.000-05:002008-10-10T13:22:00.000-05:00Sounds like Robertson is one of those bishop imper...Sounds like Robertson is one of those bishop impersonators that Christopher Johnson mentioned at Midwest Conservative Journal a while back.<BR/><BR/>Hope and pray South Dakota will wake up and get a REAL bishop who loves Jesus Christ more than the prestige and earthly power (which isn't much, since kings and rulers are only temporary and mortal)and who has the mind of Christ and whose skull won't end up paving the floor of hell.

This is a man whose leadership in this diocese should have been over years ago! To not even have visited ANY church in his diocese during his entire tenure is appalling. My question is: There are many churches he has not visited for quite a while--why has no one stepped out and called him to the carpet on it? They have obviously seen what he did (and still does) to former priests within the diocese that were not bending over for him.<BR/><BR/>The proud Lakota people have repeatedly asked for "conversation" with the Bishop about the closings of their beloved churches. Good luck! We are left with a man who is just counting the days before he retires, ready to leave all this at the feet of the person to take his place. <BR/><BR/>""Lorri Ann Two Bulls, a member of Christ Church, reported that the certified letter sent to Robertson "was returned and had been refused by the bishop's office.""<BR/><BR/>Where is the respect you should have shown your own people? Does it only apply to the Presiding Bishop and not to the Lakota people who have trusted you and supported you during your entire time as lawyer, priest then Bishop!<BR/><BR/>Shame on you Bishop Creighton, shame on you!<BR/><BR/>The OblateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
