Reflecting back over the last decade of the Episcopal Church's "hi jinks and bloopers" I am reminded of the quote by an old and dear friend of mine. Whenever he thought the situation absurd or that others were not being appropriately forthcoming he would ask, "do fries come with that whopper?" This might be the opportune time for us to ask the same question of the Episcopal Church.

I believe that it had it roots beginning on September 11, 2001 when the fear and raw emotions from which we were not fully recovered contributed to the unwillingness to act with any restraint. The Episcopal Church has adopted a revisionist agenda and nothing, nor anyone, will be allowed to stand in its way. The conservatives have long tired of broken promises and our leadership's perfection of the concept of "cheat and retreat" that would make Saddam Hussein blush. It was a perfect storm.
