There’s a New Queen in Town
Pray for your fellow believers in the Episcopal church as they try to figure out what to do with Katharine Schori, the new Queen of Episcopalia, aka Presiding Bishop and Primate. She is in lock-step with the forces of darkness promulagating marriage and ordination of homosexuals to the Episcopal priesthood.
Ms Schori has tangled with the Rt. Rev. John-David Schofield, of the Diocese of San Joaquin, who has steadfastly resisted the church’s march down the postmodernist path. The Rev. Schofield has gone so far as to call for a vote of the churches in his diocese as to whether they should stay within the Episcopal Church.
Queen Katharine took the gloves off and sent him a nastygram. Here’s a piece:
“I certainly understand that you personally disagree with decisions by General Conventions over the past 30 and more years. You have, however, taken vows three times over that period to uphold the “doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church.” If you now feel that you can no longer do so, the more honorable course would be to renounce your orders in this Church and seek a home elsewhere. Your public assertion that your duty is to violate those vows puts many, many people at hazard of profound spiritual violence. I urge you, as a pastor, to consider that hazard with the utmost gravity.” (full text here)
Yowzah. My hat’s off to the Rt Rev Schofield for sticking to his guns in the face of such vileness. He’s welcome in our church anytime.
