The wrong attitude
This morning our church service ended with a parade through the neighborhood. It was led by one of our younger members carrying a Holy Spirit banner. Our Rector said that this banner had been carried at the consecration of Gene Robinson to the Episcopate. Two thoughts immediately went through my head:
- Wow! That it is a piece of history.
- I wonder what it would fetch on eBay.
Lesbians vs. Lesbians
Politicians, Baptists, and Episcopalians
I found this note at GetReligion:
“The Associated Press is making news over presidential candidate John McCain’s statement this past weekend that he is in fact a Baptist despite comments he has made in the past that he is an Episcopalian. The news hook that the AP doesn’t come right out and tell you, other than in the dateline, is that McCain made these comments while he was in South Carolina which happens to have a lot of Baptist voters.”
Considering the demographic that McCain has been pandering to lately, he would certainly want to avoid any association with the Episcopal Church.

Blag Shomhairle. If Irish is truly a living language, you have to be able discuss contemporary issues using it.
With a subtitle like that I was surprised to see picture of a clergyman in the Saint Patrick’s Day post. On closer examination the discussion appears to be about the Church of Ireland (Anglican), rather than the Roman Catholic Church. If I can find the time this weekend (hah!) I will try to figure out what it is saying. There a picture of a book with the title Leabhar na hUrnaí Coitinne. A quick look at my Irish Dictionary confirmed my guess that this was the Book of Common Prayer. Quite a change from when what was then the Church of England in Ireland was trying to eradicate the Irish language.
