Thank you.
On anoth...Colin, what a terrific post. Thank you.<br /><br />On <a href="http://theworldofdoorman-priest.blogspot.com/2010/02/working-on-augsburg-confession-article.html" rel="nofollow">another blog</a> the host, Doorman-Priest, spoke the following words about receiving Communion from ministers who wish to exclude LGTB persons in various ways:<br /><br /><i>I think I’d be saying “It’s not for me to judge you but I’m not receiving Communion from you out of solidarity for my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.”</i><br /><br />I fully understand such a decision, but if I were in such a situation, as I said in the comments at DP's blog:<br /><br /><i>DP, I would receive the Lord's Supper with anyone and let the Lord sort things out. It's the Lord's body and blood, after all, not mine or yours or the possession of any one church or any sect within a church.</i><br /><br />I realize that I'm off topic introducing Communion into the conversation, but I believe that I address the subject of bringing about the Kingdom of God and Jesus' teaching that we, his followers, are to be one.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-42569911043674065052010-02-13T10:48:32.506+00:002010-02-13T10:48:32.506+00:00David, I'm not viewing through rose tinted gla...David, I'm not viewing through rose tinted glasses, I know what the American conservatives are like and I use friend in the loosest way. I know what he thinks of me, and that's up to him. If we can stand together at the General Synod of the Church of England and hold a very cordial conversation, that also is significant for me.<br /><br />We hold prejudices and judgements about each other. Prejduice and judgements will not bring about the Kingdom of God. We are engaged in something far bigger than winning legal or theological wars.Colin Cowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030093527945687306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-34385051526774804242010-02-13T00:07:09.469+00:002010-02-13T00:07:09.469+00:00My conversations with David Anderson told me that ...<i>My conversations with David Anderson told me that we can be friends and acknowledge each other’s humanity, but only when we set aside differences over gender and sexuality.</i><br /><br />Colin I fear you view this through rose tinted glasses. I seriously doubt that David considers you a friend. Perhaps an acquaintance to whom he is publicly cordial. But they speak of us among themselves as unrepentant sinners, unchristian, apostate and heretic.<br /><br />All badges that I hope you wear with distinction!Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-65690548284439741352010-02-11T22:35:49.111+00:002010-02-11T22:35:49.111+00:00What about christian socialists?What about christian socialists?http://isleofmanluxuryapartments.blogspot.com/http://isleofmanluxuryapartments.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-45278394604129739072010-02-11T18:49:05.958+00:002010-02-11T18:49:05.958+00:00Well done Colin for accurate and honest reporti...Well done Colin for accurate and honest reporting, blog post like yours don’t get to hit the headlines. <br />You are so right is everything you have said and I like this part, They were confident and convincing in their presentations and any one not knowing better would have been convinced by what they said. Speakers from The Episcopal Church would have been equally passionate and convincing. That’s what North Americans are like.Mr Speakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738237466030341175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-76790852035974453442010-02-11T17:03:09.069+00:002010-02-11T17:03:09.069+00:00I ran into one of their "bishops", a loc...I ran into one of their "bishops", a local fellow, once-rector in my diocese, strutting about in his purple shirt. I had to behave myself, as I was with one of the choirboys. Their pomposity befits them, and I think deep down that they have made a terrible mistake.Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878086886816560424noreply@blogger.com
