A Boy Named Sue

Cheryl Weitzel reports from TEC Executive Council:

In discussion, David Booth Beers, the national chancellor stated, "I have written to two of the chancellors, if they decline to roll back these canonical and constitutional amendments, the Presiding Bishop will have to consider what action to take. We can sue them. These are recalcitrant dioceses. What did they actually do? Those dioceses have said that they don't like what we are doing and they won't go along with it. We will frame our litigation in reference to that." The vote was called. There was one abstention and one no. The resolution passed by voice vote.

BB NOTE: Wonder what will be the new Episcopal Church slogan?



The Episcopal Church:
We'll sue for you.

There is a rumor that Beers is working under an assumed name at a second job to help out with 815 expenses. Here is some exclusive video of him at work. Beers @ Work

Didn't know where to post this, but knew you would want to see. I am amazed -- saddened and troubled, as well. This you can't believe. My son, a very devout Catholic who breaks his Grand Mother's heart by not wanting to be a priest sent me this. Story cited in the below linked blog from the Seattle times starts thus:

Shortly after noon on Fridays, the Rev. Ann Holmes Redding ties on a black headscarf, preparing to pray with her Muslim group on First Hill.

On Sunday mornings, Redding puts on the white collar of an Episcopal priest.

She does both, she says, because she’s Christian and Muslim.
