Episcopal protest hits collection plate

Actually, when I was an Episcopalian, we called it an offering plate.

They should give nothing, in fact they should form their own denomination wholly separate from the other church.

Of course they could also join the Baptist Universal Mthodist Presbyterian church known as BUMP

My mom is High Church Episcopalian. As I recall, my mom placed quarters in slots of cardboard which she called an offering, at least that's what she did when I lived under her roof. I never saw a collection plate in my life. High Church is much too proper to "stoop" to a collection plate.

The Anglican Bishop in this area voted for the gay priest's new ordination. The bishop told reporters, and his flock, that if the local churches withheld the church's due, there will be problems. But he said it softly, like Tom Daschle. It is proper that one sound contrite when threatening the flock with unspecified retributions.

Actually, one pays tithes.

Above that, is when it becomes an offering.
