THE BISHOP OF ALABAMA RESPONDS TO THE CRISIS AT THE ADVENT

The Rt. Rev. Glenda Curry, Bishop of Alabama, released a letter yesterday concerning the ordinations she conducted at the Episcopal Cathedral Church of the Advent, in Birmingham last week. Find the letter HERE .

Curious that both the letter from the interim dean/vestry and the letter from the bishop refused to use the word homosexual when the subject was homosexuality. They both used euphemisms as "theological expressions." Let's be honest and forthright and confront the real issue at hand. The brouhaha at the Advent now started with the news of the ordination of a non-celibate homosexual person. This is not a theological issue. It is a social one.

The Advent should get the memo that the Episcopal Church resolved the question of the ordination of non-celibate homosexuals a long time ago. What the bishop does about
ordinations is her business, not that of the Advent. Furthermore, the Advent is her cathedral church. She is the authority there. That is why she gets to sit in the big chair and wear the big hat.
