acroyear...of "God's Love" bringing people together: NOT.
I'm having a shitty day with this, you know.
It started with hearing about yet more of the anti-gay hatred in the Anglican church, with some Anglican bishops not attending a conference simply because some American Episcopal Bishops who voted for and support the gay bishop from New Hampshire would actually be attending.
A man being nothing but what he is, called to minister to his church and people, and gay, has divided my church apart to the point where I simply can not attend in what I believe to be a Christian conscience.
It wasn't enough to hate the gay bishop - they have to hate his friends as well.
"Who is my neighbor?"
Jesus answered that. He couldn't have possibly been any clearer. Yet NOBODY seems to know what he said.
Ok, maybe 50% of the population. But the other 50% are just ruining everything by hating that 50% for believing in Love before hate.
and I am just sick.

(((( hug )))) Hang in there. It's gotta be ONE person at a time. There just is no other way.
