Vixmom, re: your post about ordaining gays, etc. I had just been hired as Music Director by a large Episcopalian congregation here, with a wonderful liberal British Priest whom I adored, when the very next week Gene Robinson was ordained. The next Sunday DURING SERVICES about 75% of the congregation stood up en masse and walked out, never to be seen again. Unbelievable.
I am very sorry to hear this - unfortunately IMHO, there are far too many people who claim to be followers of Christ who fail to actually understand his teachings about loving your neighbor as yourself, and who are instead fixated on a couple of verses in Levitticus - I wonder if these same people who are so concerned about men "knowing" other men are also as stringent about following the dietary laws, the clothing laws, the laws affecting women, particularly during certain times of the month , etc etc etc
here endeth my sermon for the day
