Honesty or Obfuscation in New Orleans?

[TitusOneNine] 20 Sep 2007--If you read the Bible carefully, you may observe that the prophets reserve some of their strongest condemnations for lack of honesty—before God and before others. These people honor me with their lips, Isaiah says, but their hearts are far from me. The God of reality wants his people to face the reality about God, our world and ourselves, and we do nearly everything in our power to avoid it.

All this brings us to the central question facing the House of Bishops meeting this week in New Orleans: Is the leadership of the Episcopal Church going to be honest about what they really believe and are doing or will they hide behind an institutional and verbal smokescreen?
