David Virtue, Global Internet Rips on TEC, and the Delusional GC 2012

David Virtue, the internet, websites, and blogs continue to rip the TEC effectively.  The level of self-deception and blindness in the TEC leaders continues to stagger close observers.  Oh what 10 years has brought them, a 23% decline in attendance (2000-2010) with no let-up in sight.  It's a difficult issue for older folks.  (Never mind, there aren't many youths these days.)

Why No Denomination Will Survive the Homosexuality Crisis

There is no way, short of a miraculous and full-scale changing of hearts and minds, for North American denominations to survive the homosexuality crisis.

Midwest Conservative Journal: Sound-off Against TEC GC's 2012

The TEC thinks they should be central, vocal and visible.  Well, they are.  Institutionally, they are run by "egopapists." Or, blind narcissists, self-evidentely. Or, meglomaniacs without reasons.  Or, "Gasbags" for cause and with merit. This is TEC's theological and cultural legacy.  MCJ offers a reasonable screed here, one of justifiable frustration.  We recommend following MWJ and linking

Cardinal Timothy Dolan Confronts Obama's Views on Homoerotic Unions

          Cardinal
Timothy Dolan, the Chief of Chiefs in the Roman communion, responded quickly to
Obama’s declaration supporting homoerotic unions.  In doing preliminary research, it appears that—nationwide—many
Roman bishops are doing the same thing.   The Roman communion is responding more clearly and with defintion than Western Anglicans.  Here’s an update from the “Catholic News Agency.”

Dr. Horton's Walk to First Base: "Should We Oppose Same-Sex Marriage"

          The Rev. Dr.
Michael Horton, a systematics professor, at Westminster Seminary—California, offered
a second response to homoerotic unions or same-sex marriages.   We covered Mike’s first response at:  http://reformationanglicanism.blogspot.com/2012/05/homerun-by-dr-michael-horton-same-sex.html

Christian Response to Same-Sex Marriage. 
We think the first response was a homerun.

Homerun by Dr. Michael Horton: "Same-Sex Marriages Make Sense"

When "It's All About Me," one has no grounds
for a rejoinder!

          The Rev. Dr.
Michael Horton hit a deep homerun on the issue of homoerotic unions.   Again, we routinely vet solid websites,
authors and books—or, we try.  www.whitehorseinn.org is a blog site
that merits connection for blog-site owners. 
This rebuttal from Mike goes to the very heart of non-Reformed, broadly

Obama's
Support of Gay Marriage Is Self-Destructive
By Mike McManus

that same-sex couples should be able to get married."

Up till now, he was politically savvy, saying his position was

Dr. Alan McCann: Review of Church of Ireland & Conference on Gay Issues

This is Rev. Dr. Alan McCann's review of a recent and rather tidy-sounding conference on the issue of homosexuality, as sponsored by the Church in Ireland. McCann, if representative, summarized the affair this way:  "Tokenism towards the authority of Scripture was the order of the day."  At one point, he says:   "There is no middle ground."  Dr. McCann hears an American Anglican's echo, "Don't

Church of Ireland (Anglican): Press Release on Gay Issues

Efforts are underway in the Church of Ireland to avoid the disorders, disruptions, dysfunctions, distractions, and deviances--doctrinal and practical--in the Episcopal Church, USA.  A view from 30,000 feet?  The Nigerans and Rwandans "get the big picture" while Western Anglicans, or many in leadership, don't "get it."  Here's the press release from Irish Churchmen.
