The Mad Priest has thrown down the gauntlet.
In light of the Archbishop's latest insulting drivel wrapped up in lovely language about Pentecost, the Mad Priest notes that many of us on this side of the pond are satisfied to say we'll keep our wallets closed and tucked into our pants' pockets and to hell with everybody. This, for MP, is unacceptable. What he wants is some good old-fashioned, ham-fisted, American diplomacy of "We know what's better for you than you do, and we're gonna ram it down your throats." But, unlike the export of war to foreign lands, he's calling on us to enact "Operation Inclusive Church" and export THAT for once!
Of course, we'll need a general to get it done. As I noted for MP, Bishop Gene Robinson did his part when he was cast in the role of "sideshow freak" at the last Lambeth Conference. +Gene made in-roads and won admirers from many Brits who are long-since fed up with their state church which keeps getting further and further out-of-touch with where God's people now stand on many 'social' issues. The only people who seemed bothered by the Bishop of New Hampshire were the idiots in the Archbishop's office, and that one motorcycle helmet waving jackass at the church service where +Gene preached.
But Mad Priest is looking for someone STRAIGHT. And, clearly, the only timbre of voice that England will hear is a male one.
So, who can lead this American Invasion and bring the shock and awe of the Good News of an inclusive Jesus Christ to Her Majesty's church?
Who should we task with this mission?
And when we win (because 'mericans NEVER lose), will we have video of a band of Episcopalians toppling a bust of the ABC and dragging it around the streets of London? That alone might get some 'piskies enlisted in the fight!!
