The hetero-phobic, racist and sexist response of Episcopal Church Executive Council member Bruce Garner to an article written by Canon Victoria Heard and John Hylden is the poster child for an organization that has abandoned it core values to embrace a codified institutionalization of political correctness. In Mr. Garner's opinion their observations result from cultural values of a "straight white boys club" open only to those women who behave and act like "white boys".
Far from being divisive or confrontational, this recent article in "The Living Church" is an invitation to The Episcopal Church. Titled " Our Political Captivity" it is thoughtfully developed and acknowledges the difficult complexities facing our leadership as well as challenging us to examine better ways to model the Christian Faith in our corporate decision making. One might conclude, given our current state of decline, this article would be politely acknowledged if not enthusiastically embraced.
