Why Most People Ignore Episcopal Bishops

Tip of the hat to Red Stick Rant.

This is a pretty devastating piece by an liberal Episcopalian that really wants to see his Faith Community succeed . See Sunday Jeremiad: Petty Prophets of the Blue Beast

He has four "cyber-theses" he nails to the the virtual door

1. Nobody cares what you think while your tiny church is falling apart.

2. American Episcopal bishops have so spectacularly screwed up their relations with Africa that they are in no position to lecture secular leaders on international politics.

3. In the contemporary world the job of the clergy isn’t to provide political leadership. It is to help laypeople grow into better, wiser political leaders.

4. The Blue Social Model isn’t the Kingdom of God.

Interesting read.

Of course certain Catholic Dioceses around the world should take heed of this too. There are lessons.
