I'm enough of a political animal to take the outcome of that meeting as a political victory. For practical purposes, the Bishops came out of there pretty much where the General Convention of 2006 left off -- but with more of them clearly signed on than previously. <BR/><BR/>Sure, I'd love to see them get over the nonsense, but too many aren't there yet. The homophobes of the Communion will continue to herd the US bishops down the path they are already on, by continuing to behave badly. I do feel terribly for Robinson -- what a painful role to have to play.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-86406848461866815722007-09-26T17:32:00.000-07:002007-09-26T17:32:00.000-07:00Unfortunately, they did get thrown under the bus. ...Unfortunately, they did get thrown under the bus. I feel for Gene Robinson, I really do. Why "communion" with bigots in Africa and elsewhere is so important that the ECUSA is willing to turn its back on the Holy Spirit is beyond me.<BR/><BR/>(And yes, I'm an atheist but I was raised Episcopal, and those folks are supposed to believe that's why a man is a bishop. Aren't they?)<BR/><BR/>But it's always the way: "communion" is more important than progress, and you're always supposed to cater to the ones who won't change.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-34826044159327325342007-09-25T17:46:00.000-07:002007-09-25T17:46:00.000-07:00Jan I missed this.
