That's My Church.

The Arch-Bish of Canterbury throws gas on the fire by deciding not to invite Bishops Gene Robinson and Martyn Minns to next year's Lambeth Conference.

Go on over to Canon Kendall Harmon's new digs for a round-up of developments and reactions, including +Gene's that's-not-faaaiiir sputterings.

Me? I'm getting past caring anymore. I had a vestry meeting last evening in which we discussed ideas for the next five years at our church and found myself not really giving a damn one way or the other - even when suggestions like casual dress or a new labrynth were floated - since I seriously doubt I'll be there beyond next spring. I'll be going to tomorrow night's "discussion" of the draft Anglican Covenant that's floating about with similar numbness since I know that absolutely nothing anybody says there is going to have the remotest impact on the formal response served up by Her High Priestessness and her minions at the 815.

UPDATE: Yep, let's go to the videotape:

UPDATE DEUX: And as long as I'm at it, it's Confuse-A-Cat!

Nothing to do with the Church, I just happen to like it.

Already got your new "That's My Church" logo picked out, Robbo.

Robbo's Church?

I bailed out 6 months ago, after 58 years. I find more and more to do in my new Anglican church, and less and less of interest in TEC. Too many years spent there not to wonder and worry, but is just isn't, as we used to say, relevant any more to Christianity.

There's an Episcopalian church not too far from the Cake Eater Pad, and they were advertising on their nifty electronic sign (which looks odd, given the architecture of the church is meant to make it look old) that the High Priestess was visiting this past weekend. Everyone was invited to come and hear her speak.

I came this close to crashing the event on your behalf, Robbo. Really, I don't know how I managed to hold myself back.

Although, I think the fact that it was around naptime on Sunday afternoon might have had something to do with it.

;)
