[VirtueOnline] 24 Jul 2008--Once upon a time an Inclusive church used to be a comprehensive church, containing within its bosom various strands of orthodoxy. Today orthodoxy has all but evaporated and been replaced by assorted liberal theologies and orthodox persons with their theology no longer wanted at the table. It's now called inclusivity. But evangelicals will have the last laugh. The Episcopal Church is dying. That's a FACT. Nothing can stop it. It will go from 700,000 to 500,000 within a decade as the geriatric generation head for columbariums. The Anglican Church in Nigeria, now 25 million will probably be 30 million within the next five years, which means it will be bigger than ALL the rest of the Anglican Communion put together.
The Queer Eucharist held on the green of St. Stephen's parish went off without a hitch and without much theology either. About 200 worshipers, including many of the American bishops who attended the earlier Eucharist at the cathedral, held a service before a roughly carpentered wooden cross, and then lingered over a picnic. Bishop Robinson, surrounded by well -wishers, declined to give interviews, apparently keen to let only his presence speak. In a radio interview with the BBC last week, he said he had not come to England to disrupt the Lambeth Conference, but rather to make the case for gay men and lesbians in the clergy in as civil a manner as possible. And pigs fly.
