The Proper Way to Defund Rowan & the Schismatics


Since TEC has now been dis-invited from various committees of the Anglican Communion - excluded from the club, as it were - we should no longer pay any dues. Let's be clear about this, folks - giving money to those who abuse you is pathological e.g. Log Cabin Republicans.

So, how do we go about it?

Identify all foreign direct ministries, make sure nobody is siphoning funds for nefarious purposes, then continue to fund them. However, ANY monies going to Lambeth Palace and Communion committees & meetings should be stopped immediately.

Indeed, we can call it "gracious restraint" - restraining revenues to punitive leaders & bodies, while graciously supporting care for people in need, in other Provinces. Hell, with the money we'd save by cutting off Rowan & the schismatics, we could even INCREASE our ministry - talk about grace!

Jesus had endless love for the poor and marginalized, but arguably little tolerance for bureaucracies; it's high time we follow His lead.

    Why is this such radical thinking? Under no circumstances ought we enable the evil doing by marginalizing and excluding ANYONE at any level of Churchlife they are called to participate in!

    +Rowan has lost his very tangled mind and is a accomplice to fear-hate mongering that continues to result in Hate Crimes in Central Africa and Jamaica/West Indies.

    He´s a criminal in my mind, never mind the SNIDE and punishing silliness.

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.” ~ Tom Robbins
