Now it’s just a question of doing the main cutover from Movable Type to WordPress. Why? Because I was getting spam-hammered on my Holy Moly website, and MT just couldn’t deal with it, let alone get rid of it very well. I wasn’t getting as much here, but that’s because my installation here was newer and slightly more robust in the anti-spam arsenal. According to my husband David, WP is about impervious, and this particular theme, Tiga, is gravatar-ready. Soon enough, I’ll add in some dazzle via a plugin or three and fix up the header. The photo shows our…

Episcopal parish seeking new leadership | Chicago Tribune Bennett says the conflict between St. Andrew’s and its bishop began at the 2003 Episcopal General Convention, when Bennett cast her vote in favor of Rev. V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay man in a committed relationship, as New Hampshire bishop. In November 2005, Bennett contacted Beckwith to ask if he was opposed to confirming a lesbian who wished to join the Church. At that point, Bennett said, the bishop declared he would confirm no one in the parish because “the faith was not being taught” there. When Beckwith celebrated mass at…

Episcopal News Service The diocesan news release said that on July 17 the rector, wardens and vestry of St. John’s “abandoned the offices to which they were elected as well as the Episcopal Church when they violated the canons of the church†by affiliating with the Anglican Diocese of Luweero in Uganda. “By definition, parishioners and clergy who remove themselves from the Episcopal Church relinquish their rights of governance within the church’s structure,†the release said. San Diego Bishop James R. Mathes appointed the Rev. Wayne Sanders as priest-in-charge of St. John’s. The parish held a special meeting and elected…

I received an odd email at my inbox as webmistress for the Holy Moly website the other day. It looked like spam, but was crackpotty enough to warrant a second look: Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to draw your attention to a new interactive Christian support site which also includes absolute proof for Christianity. The proof is to be used for a peaceful global mass conversion to the true Christian faith. www.churchalive.co.uk Username: xxxxx Password: xxxxx The archived information is also available at www.worldends.co.uk (no password), which I hope will soon be available in many languages. Grace be with you,…

Things are about to get really interesting at Holy Moly, my small Episcopal mission parish that I love so well. For one thing, we’ve got a new vicar, and the old one has a new job, and this all happened really quickly. For another, we totally changed our service time to 9am. It’s the tag end of summer, and attendance hasn’t been very good, so the time change could potentially be really damaging. But. I talked to a reporter earlier this week. 😉 The supplemental food pantry we started last Christmas during Advent has slowly been gaining ground, and in…

BBC ON THIS DAY | 3 | 2003: Anglican church approves gay bishop Yes, three years ago today +Gene Robinson was approved and confirmed by General Convention 2003 of The Episcopal Church, which was then acronymized as “ECUSA.” There’s been a lot of turbulent water under the bridge since then… a LOT. But at the time, I thought it was a good step forward, and I still do. Gay clergy and lay leadership helped me in my personal formation as a better Christian (aw! that’s such an Episcopal usage, “formation”). I never found Biblical literalism helpful in any way: it’s…

As you might have guessed, I’ve been following developments, both grievous and joyous, in the Episcopal Church in the weeks following General Convention 2006. News today: the Mother Church’s “General Synod approved the concept of women bishops as ‘theologically justified’ by 288 votes to 119.” BBC NEWS | UK | Church backs female bishops move Of course, the traditional wing has very strong objections, citing the concept as unBiblical. This wing has close ties to the conservative “Global South,” the area mostly under the influence or control of Nigeria’s Bishop Akinola. Actually, the American traditionalists are believed to be sending…
