Ever consider just becoming Catholic?

"Martyn Minns | Anglicans Must Return to Roots"

And modern humans to Neanderthals?

I'm a hypocrite. Saying one thing and doing another doubles my chances of being right. I'm also intolerant. I'm just not liberal, because a liberal is somebody who worships power but has none. All of which explains why liberals act like a pack of wolves and snipe at people. They are a miserable lot. I'm a happy hypocrite. If you want to know about tolerances, ask a machinist. They have power tools and actually make things, unlike the average liberal who only makes trouble and grief for others. The liberals invented Fannie Mae to sell other liberals on Freddie Mac and now the liberals are all losing faith in what they created and telling everybody it's going to get fixed because the government has way of saving us all money. You can't save a liberal from themself. You can only watch them and wonder how they got people to buy such a crazy bill of goods in the first place. Now they have the government buying the bad mortgages to save the other liberals from themselves. Traditional values and family traditions do not die an easy death. Liberals kill themselves trying to change values and alter traditions to make dysfunction functional or at least appear to be functional. You don't always see your own progress being made. You must recognize family traditions and build new ones, so the traditional values are built upon and even more values continue to enrich family life and serve our country long into the future. Wealth build greater wealth based on the faith that placed in us by those before us and faith will follow us after we are gone. The next generation will continue to carry on with traditional values and family traditions. There's no other way.

In 1860, if we were to have a discussion of "traditional values," the topic would most likely be the numerous approving references to slavery contained in both the Old and New Testaments. Even your hero, Leviticus, specifically permits slavery, as long as you obtained your slaves by invading a foreign country and bringing them back. So why haven't we invaded Mexico? It would solve the whole illegal immigrant problem.

In your theology, you can't pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe. Yet I doubt very much that the dissenting churches have forbidden their parishioners to commit the "abominations" of eating oysters, or wearing cotton/polyester blend clothing.

Jesus reserved his special scorn and mockery for the self-righteous religious hypocrites of his day, the Pharisees. You are the modern-day Pharisees.

I would very much appreciate having the title of Bishop Minn's prayer spoken by him at end of his eloquent talk today(9/13) on C-Span. I'd like to have a copy. It ends with "...send us all to serve the crucified."
Many thanks if you can help

Certain folks are digging their own graves, they are called mortgages. The government will give you a shovel to dig deeper with. You get digging deep enough and you find yourself in mortgage hell. You will have lots of company. I am all alone here, so it doesn't bother me. I'm trying to get a good deed and am meeting with some trouble and if they only knew the trouble ahead. The tune might change.

Coded message.
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.
Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey dont you know its time,
I feel its time,
Somebody told you cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
Its gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you're unhappy.

It's raining and I just want You to be happy for the rain brings goodness and love grows from goodness and the flowers go up from the rain that drops. Some people drop too. Never will God let me drop You.

"When one shuts one eye, one does not hear everything." That's why the shot sounds louder to the person not shooting.

I'm a little Irish and a litlle Swiss and a little of this and a little of that and a lot of American.

Did I mention I'm Irish?

Certain folks diggin around Anglican 'roots' will not think you the more righteous for it, I assure you.

Don't blame the past on the future. Things sometimes happen beyond someone's control. Conditions on people from past mistakes beyond their control is not a suitable situation. It is judgemental. scary, be happy, don't label people for mistakes that are in their past. they didn't want it to happen, tried to prevent it, and put it behind them, you should too.

Or, if that's too *whimsical* for you, maybe you can go back in time and explain to my little girl how 'no mommies' is better than two.

"some of the latest cultural whims."

There's a few million people out here who I'd like you to look in the face when you call their lives and loves 'cultural whims.'

If you can keep the arrogance up that long.

1 Corinthians 7:10-16, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Peter 3:1-7, Colossians 3:18-19, Ephesians 5:22-33, Hosea 3, Esther 1:20 1 Corinthians 7:3-5

First, Anglicans had the Lambeth Quadrilateral, and now we have the "Truro triangle": "radical inclusion, profound transformation, and inspired service." Thanks be to God for Bishop Minns and others willing to build up an orthodox vision of Anglican Christianity in today's fractured world.

A little rebellion from time to time is a good thing. People want to punish it. William Penn was in jail four times for rebellion and other so called crimes against society. If I can find a church full of rebellion, I might be tempted to get back to church myself. It seems most of them are trying to be complacent and we can't afford complacency. I hope to hear more on rebellion and I'm sure I will.

What is not open to debate is that the missionary movement that Bishop Minns leads grew from a handful of churches a few years ago to 61 last year and now 70 this year. There is a future in following Jesus Christ; it's a shame that the Episcopal Church would rather follow the agenda of a world in rebellion to Jesus Christ.

With Henry VIII being the founding root of the Anglican/Episcopal Church, one is not surprised at the decomposition of said Church.

That was so powerful a call to worship. The Post: Official Blog of Hell. You wonder why they don't delete that nonsense. I guess they think it adds flavor. Who knows?

"We have a future and it is exciting."
The way I feel, that's up for debate. The foundations don't change though, so all you can do is build on them. I think I'll go and get stone and then get stoned later. It's all work or lawsuits to make excuses to get out of work. Sue me and I'll stone you. It will be exciting.
