A Report from Diocesan Convention

The report that I have received on the DCNY annual convention was pretty bleak. Mix one part apostasy with another part idolatry and what do you get? pecusa

First, there's the new priest in the diocese who stood to declare to the convention, "Our mission is not to win people to Christ!" Yes, how silly of Jesus to issue a great commission. How silly of the apostles to go against this new gospel proclaimed at the DCNY convention and win thousands of people to Jesus. Does anyone wonder why pecusa is declining? Wonder no more. And how was the bishop with this declaration? "Skip said nothing. Just smiled. "

And how about taking the convention to a deeper place (Episcopalians used to call this place hell). I quote: "Then there was some lady leading "prayers". We all had to be meditative and listen to spooky music. She purred, "See God in us. God is in us. We are all God," or something similar. Later, she had a "movement" prayer accompanied by some Spanish song with a beat. Everybody had to "move." Most folks swayed and clapped. She started some conga line through the whole room that many sensible folks tried to stay away from. Now I'm fine with conga lines--at a party, not as a prayer. Especially when the prayer is Hindu. It was all "incarnation" (the idea, not the event) and such."

On a personal note, I will be going to the CANA Council meeting in Virginia this week. I can assure any concerned Episcopalians that no Anglican at the CANA meeting will be declaring that our mission is not to win people to Jesus. Second, no one will be saying, "We are all God." There will be no Hindu prayers. It is so good to be out of the heresy and apostasy of pecusa.
