Why I Am Not An Episcopalian Anymore
This corner post is priceless. Rod Dreher received an email celebrating the demise of Christianity in this world and which tried to insult President Bush by calling him our Bible-believing president.
The author of the email: an Episcopal priest. That about sums it up for me.
A few years ago I was talking to my former Episcopal priest who was now at a different Episcopal church and who had recently given a sermon on Jeremiah. He thought it was a good sermon and was telling some of his fellow priests at a meeting about it. They all though he was crazy as none of them had ever done a sermon on anything from the Old Testament. We are talking about close to a dozen other priests each with an average of at least ten years of experience. The Old Testament they said was all about hate and the New Testament all about love after all. No need to ever the study the Old Testament. This past Sunday my pastor was able to give a sermon that quoted from both the Old Testament and the New and the quotes seemed to agree with each other somehow. Amazing.
