Collateral Damage from the Schism Du Jour

It is perhaps easy as the reports of councils and canons and lawsuits and litigation fly around us to forget or ignore the very real damage being done to lives, families and communities of faith as those hell-bent on turning the differences between us into divisions that serve their absolutist agenda continue on their quest to split the Episcopal Church.

Yesterday's Washington Post's article Praying for Answers tells the story of parishioners on both sides of the divide and I commend it to you.

Rev Susan - This really brings home what is happening.

But, I guess, ultimately, we all make our own beds, and then we have to lay in them.

Prayers going out to all these people.

Brother Causticus greets his sister in Christ and says "Tag, you're it!" in the next round of "Seven Things"

C'mon, Rev. Susan! Take Brother Causticus' humble and irenic challenge. We want to see your answers.

And I too greet my sister in Christ .. most playfully.
