Pastoral and Political

For the Archbishop, this is perhaps as much a pastoral issue as a political one. This is a very difficult balance to hold on a public stage.

Is the reverend aware that Trinity Church's John Heuss House for the homeless practices unlawful acts including forcing the homeless to hand over their money for "safekeeping" in an interest bearing account under Trinity's name? That if the homeless don't do it, they are kicked out?

Is he aware that they hand out medication and the people handing it out are not licensed doctors or pharmacists?

Is he aware that they try to control the homeless' every move, every spoken word, every activity? That Damaris Henry, one of the phony social workers forces people who are NOT disabled to apply for SSI?

He is an incompetent, reckless, nasty, uncaring fool.

Johnny B. Goode:

The controversy is strictly a British dilemma. The British don't have guaranteed freedom of the press. They don't have the Bill of Rights. They have an official church. The British have a monarchy and a rigid class system.

If Americans liked the British system, we Colonials wouldn't have chucked them out.

Norrie Hoyt:

Rev. Dr. Cooper,

So row this Rowan's intellectual boat,

And soon you'll find, it's not afloat.
