BLOGGING TOWARD SUNDAY…

Unless you keep up with religious news, you probably haven’t heard what I’m about to share with you. You may have heard that the Anglican (Episcopal in the U.S) Church is deeply divided over issues concerning homosexuality…like same-sex marriage, female clergy, and the ordination of gay priests. In a gesture that has raised a lot of eyebrows in this country, the Vatican has announced plans to open the doors of the RCC to those Anglicans who are in disagreement with their church’s policy and growing acceptance of homosexuality and women clergy. Pope Benedict XVI is eager, it seems, to restore “full and visible unity” between the two churches, even if it is a unity based on ignorance and prejudice, those inseparable twins who have dogged the church for almost two thousand years.

Don’t get me wrong…I’m all for unity in the church, but not at the expense of truth. It makes me mad…and sad.
