The bashing of the Episcopal Church from certain quarters of the Anglican Communion (no names, of course), and, indeed, from within our very own church, continues due to our naughtiness in extending a measure of justice and equality to our LGTB brothers and sisters, thus we are presented with an excellent opportunity for a Lenten discipline: the practice of Jesus' admonition to turn the other cheek.
UPDATE: Thanks to Ann Fontaine for the link to Walter Wink's sermon on turning the other cheek, which I think is impressive and thought-provoking.
Very cheeky! and the moon rises larger than anytime in recent years. BTW - I like Walter Wink's ideas about turning the other cheek. Here

Thanks Ann. Wink's ideas are impressive and thought-provoking. What his words tell me is that my cheeky post is OK. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sorely tempted to advocate walking away from the Anglican Communion, because being a part of it causes too much grief. But I don't, because others in the communion need us, and we need the others in the communion.
