"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Is the Gospel For Sale? Not In Africa!

Uganda Anglican Bishops Sever ties over Ordination of a Gay Bishop.


"When the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) approved the openly gay bishop of New Hampshire last year, Anglicans of Uganda formally announced their ties with ECUSA were broken. Then, when ECUSA proposed to provide aid for displaced people living in camps and send a delegation to the new Archbishop of Uganda's enthronement in January, it was turned down. "The gospel of Jesus Christ is not for sale, even among the poorest of us who have no money," responded the Ugandan Archbishop Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo. "Eternal life, obedience to Jesus Christ, and conforming to his Word are more important."
