Now boys...Please play nicely

Presiding Bishop: Primates “Out for Blood” at Meeting

The devil is a liar and the father of lies and the devil was certainly moving about Dromantine, the site of the primates’ meeting in Northern Ireland, the presiding Bishop said, according to accounts from several bishops who spoke to THE LIVING CHURCH on the condition that their names not be revealed. The primates were “out for blood,” Bishop Griswold told them.

Now Frankie, it's not nice to call your friends "the devil". Play nice.

Can't you boys just get along.

The Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan, Bishop of Pittsburgh; the Rev. Canon Bill Atwood, general secretary of the Ekklesia Society; the Rev. Canon Martyn Minns, rector of Truro Parish, Fairfax, Va.; the Rev. Canon David Anderson, president of the American Anglican Council; the Rev. Canon Kendall Harmon, canon theologian of the Diocese of South Carolina; and Diane Knippers, president of the Institute for Religion and Democracy, were singled out for opprobrium by the Presiding Bishop for their behind-the-scenes roles at Dromantine.

Duncan to Frankie: "Sticks and stones may break my bones........"

Seriously, Jesus was accused by the Pharisees of healing by the power of the Devil. I quess there is nothing new under the sun. Duncan and the others are in good company.
