Who Cares About the People Dying Around Us? We're Right!
An Ugandan bishop has rejected $350,000 dollars in money to fight AIDS. Why? Because it comes from the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, which supported Gene Robinson's election.
Good God, when did the worldwide body of the Anglican Church become such utter pricks? We (by "we", I mean the Episcopalians and the Canadian branch of the Anglican Church) have been kicked out of the world body, there's been talk of a larger schism coming, and now the people in power are rejecting money to fighting a disease that is killing millions of people. All because some people in the US thought it would be best if our views on gay people didn't come from an arcane book that tells us that lobsters are sinful.
"We pray and believe that our God who created and controls silver and gold in the world will provide for the needs of His people. Halleluiah! Amen."
I'm sorry, Bishop Tembo, but God, or at least His people, did provide for your needs. The only problem is, you turned them down.
