I hate to do two Episcopal Church posts in a row because it looks like I am picking on them Still this is pretty sick.
The Rev. Nina Churchman of Denver, Colorado writes in part:
After reading the 3 June article, “Pregnancy-loss Prayers”, I found the text for Rachel’s Tears online and was sickened to discover that the rite for abortion is couched wholly in terms of sin and transgression. The Episcopal Church, by resolution, has long held that women have the freedom to choose an abortion. It is not considered a sin. That this new rite begins with the words, “I seek God’s forgiveness…” and includes “God rejoices that you have come seeking God’s merciful forgiveness…” is contrary to the resolution. Women should be able to mourn the loss of an aborted fetus without having to confess anything. God, unlike what the liturgy states, also rejoices that women facing unplanned pregnancies have the freedom to carefully choose the best option - birth, adoption or abortion - for themselves and their families. ...........................
Much more at Midwest Conservative Journal and their post MOLECHING IT
This Priestess also appears to agree with this depressing organization called Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice and Healing that has even a longer depressing list of people that agree with them that are Christian Clergy. I am shocked how many Methodists are on that list.
What a Scandal.
that's unbelievable.
