'political agility' my ass...our bishop andy is dancing with two club feet all over the gay issue... thanks to the clarity in the texas monthly piece, there is very little left to discern between the lines.... i see no hope whatsoever for the christian gays or lesbians or any other christians of a liberal stripe in this diocese--not to mention Jesus Christ Himself, the uberliberal original.
what i wish to assume is that the new bishop is overwhelmed at present and hasn't found his legs... or his brain...but i'm afraid, houston, i'm afraid...
i won't fault your heart, andy, because i believe you when you say you feel the pain of dear friends who are of the purple persuasion, but unfortunately you're not prepared to lead with your heart ... which is damned odd... wherefore is the seat of your soul? under your pants pockets? criminey ...
and i say all of this as one who is a notverygood queer, really... as a bi, with my own club feet, one in each world, i am absolutely not to be trusted to hold a worthy opinion ... a janus christian at best .... just the same, listening to all of that bishop talktalk in the tm [aug 1. 2009] article--and, given that loser nay vote in the house of bishops yesterday against latitude in decisions on same gender partner blessings--my queerchristian spideysense tells me that, just like the billboards on the fridge magnet have proclaimed for years, jezus might just as well have died for our dunkin donuts...
but keep on talkin to me if there's something in there yet to be revealed--just pleeze God don't tell me we hafta wait 40 years, wandering around in the Godforsaken desert of ''i am charged to guard and to hand the faith on as i have received it'' or some such... as in, nothing is going to change here... as in, head-in-the-sand...

i've been a huge bishop andy proponent up to this point, propounding patience in fact. but i don't see much good to be accomplished by pretending that the emperor might some faaarr distant day put on his Real pants-- to go with that nice hat-- when, by God, he's preeetty much happy stupid nekkid out there right now... and apparently he's going to look like that for a looong time ... i mean ... think about it ... really.
you know?

i was looking for a picture of the biggest mitre ever, and i clicked this, and i wasn't really concerned about the whole putting on his pants thing, and i'm at school, and the dunkin donuts thing is kinda funny.
