Good for Bishop Love! But I am afraid his standing up for traditional Christian values in the Episcopal Church is too little, and 45 years too late.
Still, ‘if God is with us, who can stand against us?’ My prayers go with him.
[FYI: I was brought up an Episcopalian. I haven’t be able to stand to attend an Episcopalian Church for worship since 1972. I do not feel the spirit of God there, anymore.]
My mother had come over from England as a child and raised all of us in the Episcopal Church. I was baptised an Episcopalian in 1946 at the ripe old age of 3 months. I was confirmed at nine, married my wife at 22, after returning from Vietnam, had both of my boys baptised when they came along, all at the same Episcopal parish.
Sadly, by the late 1990s, I could see what the future was going to be with the homosexuals taking over and the ordaining of women priests, and in 2002, we left to help form a new Anglican congregation.
I miss my church and resent very much being forced out by those who wanted to open the doors to unrepentant sinners who wanted to twist everything to accommodate their lifestyle.
