What ever happened to repentance and forgiveness? How is the reaction of those two congregations even <em>remotely</em> Christlike?<br /><br />Abby Johnson's story shows just how far from classic Christianity most so-called Christian congregations are these days.Allen Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853861649876959271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9555343.post-14965476333774119892009-11-26T06:31:17.979-08:002009-11-26T06:31:17.979-08:00One of the things I've been told is that as Ep...<em><strong>One of the things I've been told is that as Episcopalians, we embrace our differences and disagreements. </strong></em><br /><br />What Ms. Johnson does not realize it that Episcopal "tolerance" only exists regarding trivial areas - i.e. <em>"Mass"</em> vs <em>"Holy Communion"</em>. <br /><br />The right of a woman to abort a child is not one of those areas.

I'm afraid she will be forced to leave eventually. But that would be a good thing for her spiritually. <br /><br />This serves to highlight the hypocrisy of the Episcopal left, as if we needed any more examples of that hypocrisy.Allen Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853861649876959271noreply@blogger.com
