Archbishop of Canterbury, Pope Benedict discuss ecumenical, Muslim-Christian relations

Anything that can hasten a coming closer together of the two communions is very good news. What separates us is mostly narcissistic trivia, at most of some bit of historic relevance.


Fort Worth visit an 'unwarranted invasion,' Presiding Bishop tells Southern Cone primate

The Episcopal Church is in a tailspin with a woman at the head who has little concept of leadership, not to speak of grounding in Holy Scripture. I will give not one penny to the Episcopal Church so that it can sue Christians who know and understand that sin is a scourge upon this lost denomination. My money will go to other churches even as I attend the only Anglican Church in my town. I attend in order to receive the grace of Holy Eucharist, but I no longer support church programs. When TEC ceases this madness I may return, but never under the current conditions. I wish Bishop Iker were my leader -- he is more Christ-like than any of the national leadership.


In Florence, St. James Church celebrates 100 years of ministry

As a college junior abroad in Florence in 1985 I attended St. James' and loved it. I returned there a few years ago with my spouse and mother and we had a very special worship service there. We wish St. James all the best for another 100 years!


Send Middle East peace message to President Bush, EPPN urges

Once again, the Episcopal Church reveals the repetition of their human stupidity and the habitual state of their human foolishness through the ENS article calling upon human beings to write to President Bush seeking to affirm goals of justice, peace and reconciliation for Israelis and Palestinians. The Episcopal Church fails to acknowledge the difference between human agreements of justice, peace and reconciliation and Divine agreements of justice, peace and reconciliation. Until Israelis and Palestinians agree to the Divine promise of justice, peace and reconciliation, all human resolutions and treaties for temporary justice, peace and reconciliation shall end in the cycle of pain and suffering, violence and destruction.

Such an arrogant pride exists within the House of Bishops, General Convention and Executive Council to humanly demand justice, peace and reconciliation for the Middle East while the very foundation upon which the Episcopal Church should rest, the bedrock theology of scripture, tradition and reason has forever been cracked, the division of Christians asunder.

Why would the Episcopal Church demand a peaceful resolution to the Middle East conflict when the absolute truth of human conflict within the Episcopal Church is the pain and suffering, violence and destruction of soul's desiring to govern their humanity? Is the Episcopal Church prepared to admit the absolute truth of their outward and visible footsteps? The footsteps of the majority trampling the Faith of the minority!  The Episcopal Church is so hypocritical l-- crying for peace in the Middle East, while the factual evidence of destruction occurs daily within the Episcopal Church in America.

I am sorry. I don't understand. Are you crying for peace abroad, knowing you can't have peace at home?
