Gosh, What A Surprise
Discussion of human sexuality will again occupy debate at General Convention
At a national level, that's our pony.
Yes, it's General Convention time, when every three years the leaders of the Episcopal Church [or TEC] gather to discuss the issues they have labeled as important for the leaders of the TEC to discuss. Think of Woodstock, replace the rock with church music both traditional and contemporary; remove the mud and replace it with earnest statements; remove the intoxicants and replace them with "nice-ness" and you get the idea. Conveniently, the General Convention is taking place at the home of Disneyland.
You may follow the fun here.
[By the way, I actually know the guy pictured in the famous photo above. He's a Republican, interestingly.]
