Episcopal Barbie

Prof. R.W. Meade has a link to the newest craze in doll-sized Episcopal Clergy:

Episcopal Barbie



I will quote his insightful view of why the Episcopal Church has fallen under Judgement:

"I hate to say this, guys, but I think God mocks us and holds us in derision. I think the disasters we have already experienced and the much greater ones that are coming closer every day are signs of his wrath. I think he is giving us the taste of wormwood and gall: he’s letting us face the full consequences of our own silly deeds. He waited patiently for decades as we frittered away the inestimable riches and advantages accrued over centuries. He bore our hypocrisy — incompetent busybodies and Mrs. Jellybys lecturing the rest of the world on how to manage its affairs as our own household fell progressively into deeper disarray — and our general inconsequential messing around with low priority issues like ’sexist’ hymn lyrics as our seminaries edged steadily closer to bankruptcy. But we’ve exhausted God’s patience and spent down our endowments. The Bailiff of Heaven is knocking at our door; the notice of eviction is in his hands."

As our estranged Roman Catholic cousins might say...BINGO!

TEC isn't being punished because of Katherine Schori and Gene Robinson, TEC is being punished BY Katherine Schori and Gene Robinson, for straying from her scriptural and reformed roots OVER A CENTURY AGO.

Forty years in the Wilderness seems about right.
