Kate Schori: "Mother Jesus," "One Church Two Minds," Etc.

Katharine Schori, the new Presiding "Bishop" of ECUSA/TEC, has addressed the House of Delegates, where she invoked "Mother Jesus." (Way to calm the waters.) She added, "I am fully committed to the inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians in this church." Coming from a woman who supported the ordination of Gene Robinson to the episcopacy, the meaning should be clear.

An ECUSA member commented today: "Incidentally, they have had one hell of a thunderstorm in Columbus all morning."

Mme. Schori described the new dominion, which she has helped rend into pieces, as "One church - two minds." Which calls to mind several verses with a singular message:

• "A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways." - St. James 1:4.
• "Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." - St. James 4:8
• "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." - Jesus Christ (St. Mark 3:5).
