New Orleans Loses an Important Episcopal Priest

It does seem my posts on the The Episcopal Church are often negative. That is because (1) I am mad their leadership is destroying their community and spreading error, and (2) the effect it has on us all.


There was a nice article though on a young Episcopal priest whose contribution to New Orleans post Katrina cannot be overstated.

You often here a lot what is going wrong in Louisiana and New Orleans. However it is frustrating that the story of what is going right does not get out.

Red Stick Rant has a thoughts and a link to the story about the priest that appears to have almost literally worked himself to death for New Orleans. See Don't Mess With A Missionary Man.

I also like Red Stick Rant's thoughts here
"The loss also leaves our Diocese with one less strong, orthodox Anglican voice, which right now we sorely need. In so many ways, Fr. Jerry will be missed."

I think that should be noted. Too often liberals in all our communities want to try divide Orthodoxy form lets say Social Justice and service to those in need . The problem is for centuries there was no such divide and we see every day that good Orthodox Christians are in the front lines on these issues.

I will keep this priest in my prayers
