This makes me sick to the stomach and sad, but The Lead was kind enough to link here in their post. The Lead The Archbishop of Canterbury has denied the Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire permission to preach or preside at the Eucharist during his visits to England this year No word on whether the appearance with Sir Ian McKellen is still planned, or if it already happened, as it wasn’t dated when I blogged about it before.

Basically, the homeless are housed in church parking lots in an organized fashion, with access to the church buildings at times for rest rooms, kitchen and washing facilities. After a few months, they move on to the next location.

The one in the middle is becoming famous on Flickr for that monobrow, by the way. Their body language is weirdly out of synch with modern life, too. It’s as if they’ve adopted some kind of backwards-engineered emulation of the way women hold their bodies in old, old photographs from the pioneer days. They also remind me of the faces of hardscrabble farmers’ wives from the 30’s Dustbowl photographs…

One thing to remember: the FLDS compounds are as self-sufficient as possible.
