The American branch of the Church of England has finally begun to wither and die after so long a separation from the true root and nourishment of Christ’s body. This article by Craig Bernthal, posting in the “private papers” of the masterful Victor Davis Hanson, illustrates well the overriding concerns of the modern Episcopal Church and, indeed, the vast majority of the religious today, both lay and priest.
Who among you does not know someone claiming Christ who is more concerned with the environment (which the Almighty created with far more resilience than you give it credit), human rights (a Christian idea, though now thoroughly well-padded, which God himself has guaranteed he will protect), or simply the good life of partying, wenching, and indulging yourselves than with God himself? Preoccupation counts as carelessness–the Apostle repeatedly warns against those things that do not matter, that save no souls. Who has entered Hell while you sought to protect a marsh?
And on an entirely different note, I apologize for my long absence. Life is difficult when one has been so long dead. Speaking of which, you will note my irritation with those concerned with “wetlands.” Such fragile areas harbor those buzzing parasites responsible for my demise.
