The Windsor Bishops: Quislings

Matt Kennedy of Stand Firm writes:
The Response by the House of Bishops, joined with their earlier responses and those of the Executive Council, represents an utter rejection of the Primate’s request. There is a bold commitment to permit same sex blessings. There is an avenue ripe for exploitation with regard to episcopal consents. And, as [...]

The Continuum: A candorous masterpiece!

GOLD!
