The Rt. Rev. Larry Benfield, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas, has written a letter to Natural State Episcopalians portraying gay ordination and same-sex blessings as a victory for God and a defeat for the devil and all his works.
In the bishop's report on General Convention 2009 to the Episcopal Church in Arkansas, he commented, "We may have finally been able to set aside human sexuality as the issue that consumes all our time and energy."
Delusion No. 1: The Episcopal Church has not set aside human sexuality issues at all. Recently, the Episcopal Church's Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music met in Atlanta to fast forward Rites for the blessing of same sex unions. Those rites will be center-stage at the 2012 General Convention. They will be met with token resistance from a handful of orthodox bishops and an even smaller handful of orthodox believers from the House of Deputies. The Episcopal Church's pansexual glitterati will sweep all before them, announce victory and toast each other with champagne. From Louie Crew and Susan Russell to Gene Robinson and Mary Glasspool, these foul Rites for same sex blessings will be the final stench in the nostrils of God.
