We now have wildly different versions of events from the Presiding Bishop, the Chief Operating Officer, Katie Sherrod and other members of Executive Council.
I expect all politicians to lie, but I do not expect leaders of my church to "spin" events to their own purposes. What we have here is the perfect post-modern meltdown, I suppose, in which multiple perspectives are somehow masked as truth. It is one of the reasons that postmodernism is so unsatisfying, it allows saints and sinners to all cloak themselves in notions of personal truths.
As a deputy I have am deeply aggrieved that there are multiple versions of the truth of the genesis of the various budgets. I am sickened to think it possible that one part of our church sabotaged another, presumably with the best interests of The Episcopal Church at heart.
