So I asked my mom if we were not Espicopalians anymore, what should I write in place of PECUSA in my 1928 prayer book. She replied Anglican Church in North America.

I think I am leaving. I am a Christian first, an Anglican Christian second, and a a member of TEC last. To remain in a church organization that is moving toward man rather than God seems inconsistent with the path in John 14:6. <br /><br />Loving the sinner is one thing, and does not require loving the sin, or treating the sin as a normal manifestation of the image in which we were created. <br /><br />Bishop Wright makes much sense. We all are tempted to sin; we have desires we should not follow. When we do act, is it in accordance with our Christian Bible-based beliefs or our sinful nature? I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, almost always from making a poor choice as to what to do.<br /><br />We have choices, and some are better than others.donbullockjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096550262395235635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-84820063518678125662009-07-14T18:01:17.678-04:002009-07-14T18:01:17.678-04:00Great thoughts as always from +Wight.

By +Cantuar recognizing ACNA, either de facto or de jure, all of those who have stuck with TEC to witness will have a path to follow. If that isn't respecting their efforts and faith, I don't know what is.Tregonseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705100658499499100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-35596493509708373102009-07-14T17:59:52.978-04:002009-07-14T17:59:52.978-04:00It should also be mentioned that EVERY religion ex...It should also be mentioned that EVERY religion except paganism says that sex is very dangerous to the spiritual life. In Buddhism (which many consider to be unconditional love and acceptance) forbids buddhist monks to "pleasure themselves". <br />We in the US believe that because we have material prosperity we also are experts on the spiritual????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-81617773385545685272009-07-14T17:54:55.896-04:002009-07-14T17:54:55.896-04:00Thank God for Bishop Wright.

As usual, he manages to bring remarkable pastoral, missional, and ecclesial clarity to muddled issues... sexuality, "rights", inclinations, activity, etc.J.
