Jefferts Schori--Valkyrie who started Episcopal war

[The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star] 23.11.07--Bill Mehr's Nov. 17 letter--accusing the "breakaway Anglicans" of belligerent actions regarding their separation from the Episcopal Church--is seriously flawed and itself is as harsh as the tactics of Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori ["Breakaway Anglicans follow Mars, not Christ"].

Mr. Mehr does not admit that the Episcopal Church began departing from scriptural authority and doctrine years before gay bishop Gene Robinson's consecration in 2003, which ignited the separation action.

Mr. Mehr writes: "Rather than submitting obediently to the will of the church, as expressed at the General Convention, CANA warriors conduct guerrilla campaigns."

Rubbish. Extensive discernment periods preceded each congregational vote whether to remain within the Episcopal Church or depart. After voting to leave the Episcopal Church, our congregation did not kick anyone out, but invited the minority to stay and worship with the congregation as always.
