The revolutionary changes we seek are matters of human rights and social justice. We in TEC are better informed than those who went before in discerning God's hidden plan for his Church.

The Holy Spirit guides us and sets us free from the past, so all we do will be consistent with the will of God. If some in our church resist our prophetic changes, we will push the change ahead anyway to

demonstrate the rightness of our views.

We have been unable to confirm that this accurately reports John Sentamu but if it does then it is very serious. Previously he appeared to have taken the view that sexual immorality is important and that the actions of the revisionists and sodomites in North America is a problem. If these reports are accurate it indicates that he has changed his stance and adopted the revisionists way of handling Scripture.

In the Letters to the Editor column in the July 22 issue of "The Living Church" I came across a letter from a priest that captured everything that has made me uneasy about Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and what they represent in the current mindset of The Episcopal Church. Essentially it is this: people who support MDGs have too little doubt that the goals will succeed.

It is common knowledge that there has been a reality gap between the de jure and the de facto positions of the Episcopal Church on homosexuality for almost 25 years. Beginning in 1978 (Bishop Paul Moore of New York) and then again in 1989 (Bishop John Spong of Newark), revisionist bishops took it upon themselves to violate the biblical and historic moral norms of the Church.
