What's different about DCNY

As I have repeated over the last few years, the DCNY blog was started to offer members of DCNY parishes an alternative news source to the biased emails sent out by the DCNY office through dionews. Bishop Adams had shut down diomail because he didn't like the content of the discussions there and no alternative forum was then (or is now) offered.

So, what difference is there between the DCNY blog and other blogs like Stand Firm and TitusOneNine? Well, for starters, DCNY includes posts from VirtueOnline and the American Anglican Council. SF and T19 have been clear about their annoyance with David Virtue and they now do not post anything from him. The postings from the ACC are few and far between on the other sites. Another difference is that you can read all my editorials here while they are sometimes picked by the other sites. I think that you will also find some more candid opinions here than elsewhere. Candid opinions are sometimes met with banning and moderation (comments filtered through a moderator) elsewhere. This is especially true if you have critical comments at SF directed at the bloggers at SF.

As always, my postings are brief. I have found that the wordy editorials or essays at other sites really don't offer much for the effort of slogging through their verbosity. If you want short and succinct statements on what's going on in the DCNY, pecusa and the Anglican Communion, you will find them here. Of course, if you prefer fluff, you are free to read the editorials at Anglicans Online.

My references on DCNY and elsewhere are to pecusa and the Episcopal Fraud and never to The Episcopal Church. The TEC appellation is part of the pecusa arrogance since pecusa is not the only Episcopal Church in the world (e.g. The Episcopal Church of the Sudan). pecusa is lower cased to show the level of respect that I have with the Episcopal Fraud. I use pecusa because many of the bishops and priests of pecusa like to dress up like Catholics, but their teachings demonstrate that they are really liberal protestants.

So, while DCNY is a small kid on the block, I do know that it is read in the DCNY, the U.S. and even overseas. It is read by Episcopalians, Anglicans and others.

As always, your comments are welcome.
