Terrific. If any of youa re still Catholic, a church run by a guy who was born in 1928 in Nazi Germany, the Episcopal church is for you. They are so similar in many ways. And in other ways, on the opposite side of the universe. The Catholic church is all about using guilt to control your mind. the EPiscopal church is all about Grace and real love

The only thing any of us should be doing re the Catholic Church is picketing it, and exposing its hypocrisy and lies. And how it gave the world the hatred of the Jews, Jesus own people. And you know where that went in Nazi Germany.

As for Rowan Williams. Send him one of those nylon dog chew bones. He can us it as a dildo, and perhaps lose it up there, where it will strengthen his backbone. Or clog up the works, and he will get to meet God for a good chewing out.

Tim, Cliff’s on the right track, but I’d suggest you start with your local bishop. If you think he’s trying to discourage you, go to the next door diocese. Keep trying. With 99 bishops supporting this sooner or later you’ll find one who will be supportive. In my experience, nothing happens in a diocese without the bishop’s support.

All of this is awesome. We gay and lesbian persons(as well as the rest of the spectrum) must always remember that God is not out to create a “carnal” church.We should always strive to serve and worship our God in “spirit and in truth” everyday. It is not always easy, but possible and definitely worth it;regardless of being called a hypocrite or being harrassed in so many different ways. Our love for Christ plays an important role in how we express our sexuality(gay or straight). Our sexuality should not ever interfere with our commitment Christ as Laity or Clergy.And let’s try to at least be respectful of one another as we type these blogs.Really. Let passion be seasoned with compassion.We all matter.It’s how we get things worked out.Helping all and Harming none. Pax

OPS wrong place for my comment below. Oh well I’d still like to read it. As an Ordained Clergy and out of the church for awhile I just may ask for acceptance as a clergy in the Episcopal House. I do miss being a Pastor but could no longer agree with the negative aspect from other churches.

Even the section of the Anglican communion that is against homosexuality is not as large and pervasive in Africa as its made out to be by the media. There are a few voices that are very loud, but Archbishop Desmond Tutu is very in favor of gay rights. Its something each region is going to have to warm up to a little bit at time. It took the Catholic church hundreds of years to realize it made a mistake with Galileo… by all standards the Anglicans are doing well in their march forward.

The Episcopal clergy has always been rife with gay men…most were in the closet, but a few were well-known and appreciated.
