WHOOPS
I’ve got a hundy that says ENS stops allowing comments on its stories soon. Here’s a selection of reaction to the news of TEO’s upcoming mass-flaggelation crying jag Repentapalooza thing at GenCon:
Where do we Angles go to lament the destruction of our culture by the Normans? What about some equality in the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America?
So, does that mean that we should all give everything back to the Natives (in my case, the Shawnee) and go back to England/Scotland/Germany/Norway where we came from? Otherwise the “Lament” is nothing more than a shallow, hollow, feel good, self-congratulating, “I am not like other beings” farce. (Oh, and there are some really interesting stories about the Shawnee and their “Doctrine of Discovery” against other groups, such as the Miami.)
I was wondering if the Lament and the Doctrine of Discovery will be accompanied by Restitution. The Episcopal Church received the land on which many of its churches stand from the Colonial Powers, such as Great Britain, and its successors in title., land that TEC accepts as having been stolen from the indigenous people. Genuine repentance comes with Restitution. Please advise me when TEC intends to return their land to the indigenous people from whom it was taken.
I’m with you! We immigrants, English, Welsh, Irish, Scot, French, Dutch, German, et cetera, ad absurdium, have forgotten much, I grant, but in Lakota Country, TEC was the major villain in subjugating the indigenous peoples … so GC, give me a break…pay back, give back, get out and shut up!
