Thanks, but again no names. I want names! ;-)
I'm tapping my toe and twiddling my pencil and waiting for names so I can drop a few notes in the (e)mail.
Have a safe trip home, Elizabeth. I'm a member of the Cathedral congregation here in Boston, and this Sunday is definitely NOT a "skip church to work in the garden" Sunday in my book. There should be some interesting conversation -- and maybe fascinating preaching. And a whole lot of gratitude for my local church community.
Mother,
I posted earlier and thanked you for you great stand on the issues and your gentle soul. Thank you again for that.
I am a theology student at Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska and did my Senior Project paper on Anglican Unity.
I have posted on other blogs to so that maybe this humble student from a small private college in Sitka could get some feedback from his fellow Episcopalians.
In the paper I examine aside from my focus on Anglican Unity, the validity and the arguments of "Orthodox Anglicanism." I pray that you will review it. It is only a lecture draft--my final is with my committee.
It is only for perusal and reflection.
Here is my blogsite:

Thank you and I ask your blessing Mother.
Sincerely,

the things that are characteristic results of homosexual sex:
TRAUMA:fecal incontinence,hemorrhoids,anal fissure,foreign bodies,rectosigmoid tears,allergic proctitis,penile edema,chemical sinusitis,inhaled nitrite burns;INTESTINAL DISEASES:Shigella infections,Campylobacter jejuni,Entamoeba histolytica,giardia lamblia,hepatitis A,hepatitis B,hepatitis non-A,hepatitis non-B,cytomegalovirus; OTHER STD’S: gonorrhea, chlamydia,syphilis,herpes simplex,genital warts,pubic lice,scabies. SILENCE=DEATH
Still can't find out how the various deputations voted. I guess I can always ask someone at the diocese, but I would have thought this would have been available fairly quicly. It sure was for the defeat of 161.
And according to one site, there were no actual signatories, but Bishops who concurred with the dissent, stood as it was read. Is this correct?
jfmckenna,
Really, this is not an appropriate place for that sort of post but, while we're at it, I am a physician and almost all of those disease can be the result of heterosexual intercourse as well. If you think that they are unique to homosexual intercourse, you are sadly deluded. If, however, you wish to post a vulgar and insensitive comment, then how about "coming out" and putting your name and a profile out where we can all see it? How about getting your own blog where you can post your message as many times as you like (I got one, they're free!)
Thanks Elizabeth, I am a newbie to these blogs but seriously interested in this discussion. I greatly appreciate your blog.
