What the new release from DioVA? I'm not that surprised.
I'm currently pleasently surprised at the mundane nature of the resolutions and Canonic Amendments. Though the list could be missing any eleventh hour stuff and not updated and does not proclued stuff from the floor.
Just let us know if you need donations for cat food. Or if you need an emergency foster for you cat if "they" come after him. We're here to stand with you!
Okay, so let me get this straight. You work in a law firm but you don't know that legally they can't take your cat. You're on the vestry of an Episcopal church and you think your parish is congregational. You're a Christian and you don't know the first thing about theology.
Is there anything you can do besides regurgitate press releases and be sarcastic? Seriously, are you for real, or a massive joke put on by reappraisers in order to discredit reasserters?
Let me get this straight. You post anonymously, making all sorts of claims without backing them us with an example, you have no logic to your post but make outlandish claims.
Per cat - an literary exaggeration, expressing emotions of the times.
Per congregationalist - Truro is associated with the AC, just as they were under DioVA now through Nigeria. The conenant talk Truro may keep it's status with AC and TEC may be out.
Per theology - that's a serious claim not to backup, I do not think you know how much knowledge of God she has.
No worries Judith, I got the joke, probably most who read this blog got it, I believe that's an example of a drive by, where something things they did something by pot-shots. Oh well, in the end all those loose words will be rounded up and accounted.
Thanks for the levity! Humor is needed these days.
Well, I've never been a congregationalist (though my grandmother's family in New England were pretty firece congregationalists - the Higleys and Holcombs of Connecticut - I've seen the mintues from the town meetings in Granby and they were pretty fierce) Right, and I am a direct descendant of Samuel Chapin, so maybe it's in the genes. Though his daugher's sister-in-law was Mary Bliss, that's a whole other story for another day. Might come in handy though.
I grew up a fourth generation Christian Science family. They aren't known for being congregationalist - in fact, they are programed to be indentical from the Mother Church. Can't do a darn thing unless the Mother Church says okay - which doesn't happen very often. My mom started a Bible Study (horrors) at our Christian Science Church in Charleston, South Carolina and the Mother Church shut it down. Ooops. And we think Episcopalians are the first ones to think all this stuff up.
Christian Scientists pray "Our Father, Mother God All Harmonius," for the start of the Lord's Prayer. I kid you not.
PS Anon - we do like humor here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's always good to give it a try. Haven't been called sarcastic before, though. Not really known for that. Looked around the room the night I got The Letter with the Fifteen Canon Citations from the Episcopal Bishop of Virginia and wondered, well, what do I have? The 92 Turcel and the Cat.
Glad to hear that the Turcel and Cat are safe. So why did Bishop Lee write that letter anyway? Bored? Was doing his Christmas Cards and thought, wow, that's like really boring, let's send some really fun stuff - and sent out nineteen letters to Truro, nineteen letters to Church of the Apostles, nineteen letters to The Falls Church and many more to all the others (and some are not yet) in the Anglican District of Virginia, just to spread some Holiday cheer. After all, that's what bishops are supposed to do.
Or was Moses Flood right after all?
Revolutionary War Solider. Born Anglican. Later became Virginia Baptist. Minister. His Dad's buried under the old Tillotson's Parish. Now Buckingham Baptist. Guess we do have some congregational genes. So does Virginia.

Talk about being a discredit ...
I really do know that Baby Blue's cat is not in jeopardy. I was attempting to inject a note of levity in the proceedings. Silly me.

Has the Mother Church moved to 815?
