It's as if there was this massive mind switch, and the bodies of accomplished individuals were taken over by the immature minds of junior high youth. <br /><br />I cannot believe that people who have advanced education behave in a way that not only reveals them to be petty and evil-spirited, but also drags the church and congregations through the mud of their indolent self-righteousness. <br /><br />We were not ordained to be pastors in our own endeavors, but pastors to the CHurch; we have to put away our individual prejudices and desires, and work for the good of the whole church, submitting to the HOly Spirit. It is getting ridiculous out there! <br /><br />Hope all is well with you, JOelle.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752693564170709925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773623136948763395.post-71567338350946653922010-11-10T16:55:25.317-06:002010-11-10T16:55:25.317-06:00So much awful stuff going on everywhere...I just c...So much awful stuff going on everywhere...I just can't understand that people are acting so poorly and that they often get away with it...sorry about your bishop.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773623136948763395.post-38524963084781550802010-11-08T16:42:48.268-06:002010-11-08T16:42:48.268-06:00I wish more of our members would be of the same mi...I wish more of our members would be of the same mind as our bishop when he says, “I’m one who believes you stay and help the family.”churchladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217594177453967749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773623136948763395.post-80766540818297261012010-11-07T12:12:19.828-06:002010-11-07T12:12:19.828-06:00Come to think of it, now those guys can have their...Come to think of it, now those guys can have their own "Extraordinary Candidacy Program."

...Fascinating. Didn't know. Bunch of whiners.<br /><br />A pastor in our synod engaged in a long -- loooong -- correspondence with our former bishop, basically begging the guy to discipline gay pastors, and accusing him of not being catholic enough, which in our synod, well, them's fightin' words. Then he put it all on his parish website. But I think he did it with the bishop's approval, since they both felt that they had said something worth hearing. I read as much as I could without agreeing.Father Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170260624474428623noreply@blogger.com
