"We need bold and prophetic voices. We need networks that inspire and organize people," she said. "There is abundant work to be done and it must always be inspired by that vision of shalom: food and drink for feasting, dignified work and sabbath leisure, none lording it over another, all God's children living in peace. Pray that it may be so and work like hell to make it so."

here's an article for you to cover: http://videruntomnes.blogspot.com/2011/06/jefferts-schori-and-corvallisgate.html - I realize it's a tough subject, but if we love Bishop Katharine, we'll also want her to act responsibly, and accept an inquiry into what happened here.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have read the article and all I can spot is innuendo and speculation. The author claims "election fraud" but provides no concrete evidence to support his claim. That's some poor journalism with an obvious slant. When you start referring to Virtue Online as a news source, you lose all credibility as far as I'm concerned. Virtue Online is the Fox News of the Anglican Communion. This so-called claim of "fraud" is akin to the claims that Obama was not born in America: pure speculation with no hard evidence, spun by those who oppose him who are grasping at straws. It's a sad shame that there are Episcopalians, and more importantly, Christians, who have a distorted perception fueled by bitterness and aim to tear down our presiding bishop at any cost. I noticed also that many people who write diatribe against Bishop Katharine even get her name wrong: there's no hyphen in Jefferts Schori.
ReplyDelete"Accept an inquiry"? Really, do you expect 815 to take such a ridiculous claim seriously? What next: are they going to claim she's not really an Episcopalian and ask for her baptism and confirmation certificates?
