With the country on the brink of war, and with her two sons in the military, Rev. Pam Bakal turned to her faith for moral guidance, but found the answers aren't so clear.

"The current situation with Iraq doesn't fulfill the criteria for a just war," said Bakal, rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Nutley. "On the other hand ... my sons are putting their lives on the line to protect our freedom."

Once more, the nest of treasonous, anti-Christian vipers called the Episcopalian church reveals tis left-wing, ant-Christian, pro-homosexual agenda.

"We take our role as leaders very seriously and we know people at the national level watch what we do," said Elizabeth Kaeton, rector of St. Paul's Chatham and a founder of a national coalition in support of same-sex marriages. "We can talk about sex and sexuality and we can talk about war and peace. We can debate all issues intelligently."

"Why, we can take this ol'church and bend it any which way we wanna!"

"We can even overrule God by a simple majority vote!"

My rector's gonna be tearing his hair out...

Despite some dissenting voices from conservative parishes, a vast majority of the delegates also voted in favor of calling for a national liturgy to bless same- sex unions.

That's about the limit of their capacity and interest.

Yea, I'm sure Jesus would have blessed them.

I've noticed that those that are pro-abortion are against the war and those that are anti-abortion are for the war. Kind of stange till you look behind the curtain (Who focuses on the Bible and who focuses on feelings.).
