ISHOP ALAN Reminds us that God throws his shoe over Edom and that, yes, this is an expression of contempt. I well remember the campy Anglo-Catholic Priest, pardon the tautology, who giggled before Morning Prayer and said, “Over Edom she casts her pump.” THe Bible lives today in Modern Iraq!

HERE IS ONLY One sin left, and a new Anglican denomination knows that sin is Teh Gay. Sure, Terry Mattingly wants you to imagine it’s about the tmatt trio (aka the Red Herring) and about Biblical Authority. He wrote a very predictable article on GetReligion. It’s a blog I no longer frequent, [...]
