Mr. Duncan has done something that could be construed as sticking to his guns.<BR/><BR/>We should, loudly and with great force, now require that our TEC leadership follow through immediately with the promised repercussions.MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-49480154521168834002007-11-03T02:36:00.000-04:002007-11-03T02:36:00.000-04:00I doubt snakes hear hisses, Elizabeth -- they mist...I doubt snakes hear hisses, Elizabeth -- they mistake them for words.

The article that links to the letters can be found <A HREF="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_91549_ENG_HTM.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>I am encouraged by PB Jefferts Schori's letter's inclusion of "and whether you have committed canonical offenses that warrant disciplinary action" in addition to the abandonment-of-communion charge. I always felt that a significant failure of the Schofield charge was limiting it to abandonment of communion, when "conduct unbecoming a member of the clergy" was so blatant. Maybe it'll be picked up in the next presentment.Paul (A.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07543357437252555101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-49170510515547187802007-11-03T00:03:00.000-04:002007-11-03T00:03:00.000-04:00...you and others like you.Can I be included in th...<I>...you and others like you.</I><BR/><BR/>Can I be included in that group.

I really didn't think things could get any more hilarious... until I read that! Totally, outrageously, stupendously Major Laugh. Oh my! I'm still chortling.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it is indeed sad how much damage he's doing in the process of his self-indulgence, and my heart goes out to the good and faithful Episcopalians of Pittsburgh, Ft. Worth & San Joaquin.
