The Episcopal Church in America: good news/bad news

The good news is that a woman, the Right Reverend Katherine Jefferts Schori, Bishop of Nevada, has been elected the first female presiding bishop in history.

Several delegates to the General Convention said that they "feared the global consequences" of this election. ''I can't help but consider the peculiar genius our church has for roiling the waters,'' said the Rev. Eddie Blue of Maryland. ''I am shocked, dismayed and saddened by the choice.''

Gee, Eddie, you would have been a colossal failure as an early Christian. And you don't sound like much of a modern one, either.

And get this--Rev. Blue is African American. So it's okay by him to roil the waters plenty as long as men are being honored. The pathetic hypocrisy in Blue's statement is beyond disheartening.

There are some at the General Convention who want the church to promise the Anglican Communion that the American church would stop blessing gay unions and would stop consecrating gay bishops. When the convention ends on Wednesday, we will know how that turns out.

Religion is a psychological disease effecting people who have a pack mentality, have the need to belong to a group, and long for an alpha dog type person to lead them.

Maybe this is why Ann Coulter belittled the Episcopalian Church. Not that she ever needs a reason.
