Guidelines for Prayers over the Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin. ... Know that you are entering an intense period of battle. Souls are literally in danger should the wrong decision be made.
As is this
... Do not allow your prayers to waver. ... The battle belongs to God.
The arrogance, and the violence that runs through what is supposed to be a call for the prayers offered to the Prince of Peace is stunning. The entire diocese could cease to exist and guess what, the Spirit would manage. How arrogant is it to think "souls are literally in danger?"
But then, let's look at the violence. My heavens! "Know that you are entering an intense period of battle." Really? I had the silly idea they were convening in a free country to make decisions intended to advance the mission and ministry of G-d's church. I suppose I should have known better, they are "battling" the evil one by standing aside
Maybe I can learn to love schism after all.
FWIW
