We are about to roll back the clock from daylight savings time to standard time. PB Frank wants to roll back the clock to another era. He still thinks he lives in the good old days of the cold war when the cry from the libs was "can't we just get along". When the hate America first crowd thought if we (USA) just weren't so mean, the Russians would lay down their weapons and the world would be a safer place. Now they think it is our fault that Korea is still separated in two, North and South. If only we would be nicer to the North, then everything would be OK.
Korean peninsula reunification affirmed by Presiding Bishop Griswold meets President in Seoul, offers message of solidarity to Korea's Anglican Church
Episcopal News Service] Emphasizing the work of Anglicans locally and internationally in support of reunification of the Korean peninsula, Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold met October 25 in Seoul with South Korea's President Roh Myoo-hyun and issued a message of solidarity to the Anglican Church in Korea.
.....It is my intention now to emphasize my Church's commitment to reunification by bringing before the United States government several concerns.
I will urge my own government to reject the policy of preemption that heightens tensions and threatens the well being of peoples both in the north and south. As the two Koreas move forward towards the goal of reunification, I will urge the United States to take the following further steps:
support and promote a nonaggression pact that will move all parties toward a comprehensive peace formally ending the "state of war" that has existed since 1953 by following through in the current negotiations to pledge not to preemptively attack the DPRK in exchange for the DPRK's abandonment of its nuclear weapons program
refrain from demonization of the DPRK in favor of supporting the building of relations between the north and south which hold the promise of peace and reunification
make every effort to invite the DPRK into the international community as a full member so that the country can develop and pursue internationally recognized norms and standards for its people to enjoy, specifically to provide humanitarian relief and development assistance to the DPRK including poverty alleviation, food aid, energy development and transportation
assure access to all mechanisms for redress of grievances between U.S. military personnel and Korean civilians in the ROK.
Liberal insanity. And this guy is the leader of the ECUSA. Lord have mercy.

Fortunately, I doubt that anyone in the current administration would listen to this nut. So, PB Frank, why no condemnation of North Korean death/slave labor camps, or nuclear program? How do you claim to be an apostolic leader and ignore mass murder right on your door step?
And why no mention of the persecuted Church in North Korea?
This guy should worry less about pandering to the gay rights lobby and look to those who are truly in need.
What a joke he is. No wonder that the ECUSA is on a self-destruct course.
One question. Do you have to be a member of the Democratic Party to be a communicant in the Episcopal Church? They seem to march in lock step.
You know the real problem that has arisen bacause of this nonsence, and fed it in turn, is the simple fact that the contemporary disposition has made it just to easy to fail. In other words, as we have rejected or jettisoned the ideas, traditons, institutions, practices and beliefs that guided and corrected our behaviors in the past, we as individuals and a society have little left to warn us before we drive off the cliff. The road signs, warning lights and guard rails have been hidden or removed in the interest of greater vehicular freedom. The buttresses that held up the walls of our inner cathedral have been removed and the roof is about to fall.
There is no such thing as sin! There is no self-restraint or self-discipline. Temptation is only an opportuity for self realization and we should not condemn the sin but celebrate our liberation from the chains of superstition and oppression. Well, as the great C. S. Lewis said, "God's compulsion is our liberation".
So, we have replaced our prophets with therapists, our preachers with counselors, and our crusaders and missionaries with litigators and politicians, all dressed in the appropriate liturgical attire.
Lord help us, for it looks like our Shephards are out to lunch.
