Just drop a comment and we can get in touch. We have some good conversation going in the area -- there's an <A HREF="http://www.emergingleadersnetwork.org/philadelphia" REL="nofollow">emerging leaders group</A> I'm organizing, and an active <A HREF="http://www.phillyemergent.com" REL="nofollow">Philly Emergent Cohort</A> as well. I'm not aware of much conversation in the Episcopal tribe here.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756603962925894681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16940809.post-1144334231611074672006-04-06T10:37:00.000-04:002006-04-06T10:37:00.000-04:00Thank you, Bob, for this thoughtful and prayerful ...Thank you, Bob, for this thoughtful and prayerful post. Sometimes I wonder, though, if piety isn't used as a holy cover for what is legitimately a political process. Part of me wonders if it wouldn't be more honest to have some sort of "campaign" (for lack of a better word) where issues and positions and policies could be fleshed out in some level of detail, allowing voting members to know who they're voting for. Otherwise, the election seems like vote for whomever performs best on the awkward stage of a 1-2 day synod assembly podium balloting process.Chris Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569502792071232013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16940809.post-1144103296019582412006-04-03T18:28:00.000-04:002006-04-03T18:28:00.000-04:00Nice to have found you.

Perhaps we can connect when I get there?<BR/><BR/>I am in California and we will be electing a Bishop here soon. (I am an Episcopalian) Some say it may split the church if we elect one of our gay candidates.<BR/><BR/>I heard a story from one Anglican Bishop about the lack of a "gay problem" in parts of Africa. If they discover someone is gay they tie them to the tree and set them on fire. Sadly, there are still part of the church in America who have the same third world mentality.<BR/><BR/>Let's touch base and get together to discuss doing church in the 21st century. I am a priest, btw.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to explore something along the lines of what Karen Ward is doing in Seattle.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.New Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328837865727756374noreply@blogger.com
