THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE

Yesterday the House of Bishops of the Episcopal church rejected demands of leaders of the Anglican Communion to alter our polity and accept intrusion of the Prelates in our Communion. This was done on account of our full inclusion (blessing same-sex couples and consecrating a gay bishops) of gay persons.

When I read the news online, I was immediately filled with relief and joy and a deepened regard for the courage of our Bishops.

Thanks be to God
