The Gay Bishops Links Remember the smear campaign conducted against Gene Robinson when he was elected Bishop of New Hampshire: Fred Barnes started it. Remember the huge amount of publicity generated by the news that two large and conservative parishes were leaving the Episcopal Church? Fred Barnes is a member of one of them, and as a FOX pundit-on-call he commented on it on air. Remember the IRD? Fred Barnes is on the board. Coincidence? I think not. Via Jake

Ex-Gay Watch: Ex-Gay Ministries and the Episcopal Split The main page of Truro Church's website endorses several "ex-gay" ministries, and a class recently taught at their sister parish Falls Church recommends gays seek counseling in order to "go straight." This sort of thing is usually found in your more hairy-eyeball fundamentalist church…

At Axis of Episcopal Split, an Anti-Gay Nigerian In case anyone is missing the point about the coming schism in the Episcopal Church, currently it's about homosexuality and biblical inerrancy. 40 years ago, it was about women's ordination and bibilical inerrancy. 20 years before that, it was about civil rights and biblical inerrancy. 100 years before that, it was slavery… and biblical inerrancy. Really, it's always something about biblical inerrancy, but that's not sexy enough. [tags]Episcopal[/tags]

Telegraph | News | Curious incident in the night leaves Bishop of Southwark with black eye and sore head The best part: he climbs into the back seat of a complete stranger's car outside a bar near his cathedral, and proceeds to toss toys out into the street. When challenged, he replied "I'm the Bishop of Southwark, it's what I do." His flock have already forgiven him and shrugged it off. A holiday party at the Irish Embassy and a bottle or two of excellent Portuguese wine probably contributed to his confusion. He apparently forgot that he had not been driven…

One Utah » Blog Archive » Mitt Romney and The Mormon Question My frustration, like so many who have faced their church of birth, is that in my own mind only, obviously not in reality; but in my own pain, is that if I inhale hugely, the structure trembles, and threatens either to kill me or to collapse; and if I exhale, I blow it away, so much so that it can’t help me, and I really need it’s help; and I can’t help them, since I’ve tried so very hard to do so, and I’ve had success only once,…
