Plans are being made for the summer and I hope we look forward to a bit of rest and a slower pace. I know that I eagerly anticipate both; life has gotten too fast. Spring is always a busy time for bishops as every board in the church seems to meet in May, but this spring has been particularly busy for me and will remain so through June.

In a letter to Bishop O'Neill, Armstrong said the blessing of same sex
relationships had no basis in the Prayer Book formularies and defies Canonical prohibitions against sex outside of marriage. He went on to say that this "new thing" will never be accepted because it is an aberration, diminishes our witness and makes us look profoundly sick and silly!

"Who should be surprised when we get to sex that we are worlds apart?" The Anglican Church globally and locally is in some difficulty domestically, and internationally we have some problems. In Canada this week the church there embarked on the same journey the ECUSA has decided to go on. You would think they would see the wreckage here and be wise, but not so."

Allison ripped the Episcopal Church writing that "we are seeing the results of this replacement as bishops are demanding financial support from churches with the threat of reducing parishes' status, replacing the rectors and vestry, and taking over their property. These unprecedented acts of tyranny are examples of the frantic and arbitrary efforts to enforce canons when unfaithful bishops can no longer evoke free response on the ground of our mutual heritage of faith."
