What they might lack in depth they make up for in sheer numbers of words. I think it was David Roseberry who mentioned being at a church growth conference with Bp. Schori, who had much to say about growth but no depth of experience in leading or nurturing it.<BR/><BR/>Her quote to Moyers is not all that bad compared to some of the things she's said about the person and work of Jesus Christ. I agree that God delights in creatures - it is a Biblical insight. But I agree with you that much of what she says as PB is pure TEC - a shallow but dense spray of words that push people away from the truth (truth about God and truth about the authoritarian elitism of TEC).TLF+https://www.blogger.com/profile/01650010433581488888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-63738261093686674232008-06-05T05:32:00.000-05:002008-06-05T05:32:00.000-05:00Great quote.

A true intellectual, St. Paul, once wrote something apropo about God often choosing to use the foolishness of the gospel to shame the "wise," and the weak of this world to shame the "strong" (1 Cor. 1:18-25).<BR/><BR/>But is the PB, ++Katharine Jefferts Schori, actually an intellectual? Sure, she has a doctorate in oceanography, but she actually show virtually no interest in serious theology or biblical scholarship. Frankly, she strikes me as grossly deficient in any real curiosity or imagination.<BR/><BR/>I'd call her a pseudo-intellectual myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
