    Bad Bishop of Harare: Removed, or Poaching?

    October 23, 2007 - By 

    That “bad bishop of Harare” guy has been in the news again, and it seems like the Province of Central Africa really would like to be rid of him, and sees right through his motives for hollering about teh evul homosexxuls in order to deflect criticism of his very corrupt lifestyle and actions. But it gets even more interesting, as The Lead reports from an article in the Living Church: The Lead Despite the removal of the two bishops, recovery of diocesan property is not assured. On Oct. 21, a Zimbabwe court declined to issue an emergency injunction on behalf…

I’d also like to thank them for their continued support of this silly little project. I do notice that this site still gets hundreds of hits each day, and am very sorry that there’s not been…

    Fun with Find and Replace

    October 20, 2007 - By 

    After reading Joey’s inaugural Excited States post, I ran across something in David Beard’s Archaeology in Europe blog that got me started thinking about Neanderthals, mice, FOX News reporters, and Democratic Congresspersons. Fooling around with “find and replace” in Wordpad is childish good fun.

Maybe it’s time you rode with Critical Manners — We take obedience of the law ridiculously seriously. As seen at Accordion Guy… my husband David wants the…

    October 19, 2007 - By 

    What is good to a liberal is evil to a conservative, and vice versa. But what is truly good? And what is truly evil? How about a little exercise in compare/contrast? ::Humility, Grace and Freedom by Canon Dr Joe Cassidy:: So here’s what puzzles me: Given all this openness, why can’t we allow or even authorise the Episcopal Church to experiment with including gay lay-people, gay deacons, gay priests and, yes, gay bishops? Why can’t we allow the Episcopal Church to experiment with same-sex/quasi-nuptual blessings? Why can’t we ask the Episcopal Church to undertake, on behalf of the rest of…
