Breaking News: 21 Virginia Clergy Inhibited By Bishop Lee

More coming ... but it sure is a sad day. We remember though, that there is no suffering that compares to the suffering Christ endured on the cross for us all and gave up His life so that we may live. It is for freedom Christ came to set us free.

Here is the list of the Virginia men and women clergy - yes, he inhibited women clergy as well. Surprised?


• The Rev. Robin T. Adams (rector, Church of the Word - former Member of the Diocese of Virginia's Executive Board - by the way, Robin was ordained by Archbishop Eames of Ireland, surprised?)
