I am not surprised by this announcement, and it never occurred to me to contribute anything to this cathedral.

This is the supposed “National Cathedral”.

The party in the White House voted God down three times on nationwide TV, and we elected them anyway. The party in power is arming the people who knocked down the Twin Towers and is slaughtering Christians. The National Cathedral preaches perversion and is proud of it.

I fear for our country.

The National Cathedral is Episcopal, isn’t it? So this is not surprising.

Well I guess I am going to Episcopalian hell. That explains why I converted to Catholicism.

Before being confirmed in the Catholic Faith, I was an Eco-palian — a “pis”-ed off Episcopalian. They destroyed a perfectly good denomination with the whole Gay thing.

Here is a little info on the nutcase who has it upside down:

The Very Rev. Gary R. Hall assumed his duties as tenth dean of Washington National Cathedral on Oct. 1, 2012. An ordained minister for more than 35 years, Hall is a past dean and president of Seabury–Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill. He currently serves as the National Cathedral’s chief ecclesiastical leader and executive officer, working closely with the bishop of Washington and governing bodies to shape and support ministries to the city of Washington, the nation, and the world.
Hall was born in Los Angeles and holds an A.B. from UC Berkeley and a Ph.D. from UCLA in addition to his M.Div from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass. The congregations he has served include All Saints Pasadena, where he was senior clergy associate for education for 11 years. Prior to his work at Seabury–Western, where he served from 2005 to 2010, Hall was for five years the rector of Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr, Penn. He most recently was rector of Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

If there really is such a thing as “homophobia”, technically “the fear of homosexuality”, then it would be a medical condition. Medical conditions cannot be “sin”. Is fear a sin?

Hall and Wuerhl are hardcore leftist Catholic leaders and they are wrecking the Catholic church in DC.

Time for the Pope to do a lot of house-cleaning around here.

Their is a very good word in Yiddish to describe Hall - it is “SCHMUCK”.

Another Jewish word for Wuerhl is “Ganza Schmuck” (Big Schmuck).

I think you get the picture.

“In its wisdom, the church came to its senses and labeled both racism and sexism as sinful,” Hall said. “And now we find ourselves at the last barrier—call that barrier homophobia, call it heterosexism...oh, I doubt that it's the last barrier - the wonderful thing about progressives is that the content of their push forward doesn't matter - only that they keep pushing so they can feel superior and more enlightened than those stupid people they're opposing - surely incest, bestiality, and pedophilia are worthy projects - of course by the time the good "Doctor" gets around to them, he'll be preaching to himself - truly spiritual individuals will have long since fled his cathedral......

“me thinks the heretic speaks for himself (and some like him) and does not represent the people of the pews.”

Oh, but he does represent the people in the pews. Back in the mids 80s, the then bishop of the diocese and the cathedral Dean banned a very traditional and orthodox prayer book group from even worshipping inside the building. Since then, apostasy has reigned supreme there and throughout the Episcopal Church.

Church of What’s Happnin’ Now.

National Cathedral - sounds very much like a Church/State problem.

“A tornado needs to hit the church steeple.”

Did you know an earthquake caused considerable damage to the Cathedral in August, 2011? Next one might bring it down.

I don’t how much you know about the Gospels nachum but trust me

If folks think this homosexual stuff is bad they should read his bloviating about the Gospels, salvation and the trinity...especially the Holy Ghost and/or Holy Spirit

this man is apostate in THE MOST IMPORTANT ways

it’s deplorable

he is doing the work of whom we both know to fear

He should be a Unitarian

In my entire life I have never ever ever wished ill or harm on anybody. I have to consider making an exception here.
Dear Lord, show you power and wisdom, I can’t exist in a world made of such filth.

If you are attending a church denomination that hosts these views...you are part of the problem.

That includes the ECA, ELCA, PCUSA, UCC and several Methodist sects. Don't think that your particular conservative congregation can buck the rules when the entire structure is rotted. You are feeding the evil if you do.

The National Cathedral is Episcopal, isn’t it?

Maybe nominally, but it is pretty much ecumenical, to avoid the appearance of a state-sponsored religion.

Just as bad.
