Can we go now? New PB chats up CBS: "Change is happening," Jefferts Schori says, "whether they are interested in that change or not."


Change is happening whether you like it or not, the new PB says. From her example as Bishop of Nevada (which embraced the blessing of same gender unions) we know what that "change" includes. TEC is not backing down, she made that abundantly clear. It's on to the brave new world, so get out of the way.

When asked why she won't support biblical principles regarding human sexuality, Jefferts Schori said "Jesus invited everybody to the table - to the great feast - and for us to say that some people are not fit to come to that feast is not our task." So go ahead and live your life any way you like it - just make sure it feels good - and ya'all come on down.

"People who have been unhappy - this is another piece that may offend them," she told CBS News. "Change is happening whether they are interested in that change or not." So much for the Listening Process. Either get on the train or jump off.

When asked about the innovations employed by the Episcopal Church, she said that they have "offended old ways of understanding who should be in charge. Should it be white men who should be in charge or not?" So it is about power after all.

Sorry guys. These boots were made for walkin' and they're walkin' all over you.
