Bishop supports continuing dialogue and theological diversity in his diocese
…A 157-year-old Episcopal church is nearly empty on Sundays now that its conservative members have broken off to form a new congregation. Historic St. John’s Episcopal Church in Versailles, Kentucky, drew only 60 people to its three services this past Sunday. Most of its members left after diocesan leaders fired the church’s entire governing board, which had denounced Bishop Stacy Sauls’ support for the consecration of the openly homosexual Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. Days after the firings, conservative members of St. John’s voted to form a new church and contributed $40,000 in seed money. They met informally in a supporter’s living room for three weeks and had their first formal worship service Sunday with a new pastor. [AP]
Welcome to “support for diversity” and “continuing to dialogue on this divisive issue”, Episcopalian-style.
Remember: Diversity will only be achieved when all think alike.
