No one seems particularly interested in anyone else’s grand plan (or not enough are interested to make any plan happen).<BR/><BR/>For me, I will just live with what we have and who we are. I will work for more “justice” and stay in communion with those who work for more “righteousness.” Some will decide differently.<BR/><BR/>We may not like the pain and the fighting that goes on with this struggle, but it is what we have in front of us and probably will be for quite some time to come.John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-50184694723679046152008-07-24T20:40:00.000-07:002008-07-24T20:40:00.000-07:00Group 2 also has problems with women bishops.

But, I think the situation is alot more complicated on the ground.<BR/><BR/>You see, the folks in group 2 feel that this whole issue of sexuality is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. You might as well say that they pretty much think TEC is headin to Hell in a handbasket, fallen into heresy and apostasy.<BR/><BR/>And, unfortunately the progressive Christian people in group 1 have not been able to persuade most folks in group two that they are every bit as committed to the gospel, and the historic witness of the AC. <BR/><BR/>So now, we are at this impasse, together.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018475588969974790noreply@blogger.com
