The Religious Policeman - One More Thing

I should have mentioned the dedication for the blog because it chills me every time I read it.

The Religious Policeman Calls It Quits

Smart funny and well informed the Religious Policeman was one of the first blogs I ever discovered and it became an instant favorite. Now the author is off to write a book and he doesn't have time to do the blog as well. Too bad, I checked in tonight and found the bad news. Guess I'll have to settle for rereading the archives. They're going to be left on line indefinitely so if you haven't seen the blog go check it out.

It is the ideals it stands for that are truly important and deserving of protection. The flag itself is secondary.

Double Entendre of the Week

Canon Martyn Minns, a conservative leader and rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Va., said the deputies' vote showed the impossibility of reconciling Anglicans with different views about the Bible and homosexuality.

"It's too hard. It's a gap too wide," he said. "Unhappily, this decision seems to show that the Episcopal Church has chosen to walk apart from the rest of the Anglican Communion."

Sounds like Minns has fingered the problem.
