UGANDA: Archibishop Orombi Says Anglican Communion Could Stay Together
"I believe when we meet we will define our faith in clear terms and around that definition we will either agree or disagree.

MICHIGAN: Episcopal Women Shamelessly Bare Breasts For Charity
"The calendar from the 'Belles of St. Mary' is the last straw for me. When I saw the brochure I thought the photos could very nicely fit into Playboy.

Homoerotic Poetry & Liturgy Fills Episcopal Cyberspace
"I have seen glistening men, hirsute or smooth,
but no alluring luster's in his face.
And I've known even yokels less uncouth

"And yet I swear my man's to me more real
than hunky clones who, unrehearsed, can't feel."
