On “Happier news for gay-friendly Anglicans”

The earlier post entitled “Happier news for gay-friendly Anglicans” was a re-blog of the Reverend Lesley Crawley’s, from the Diocese of Guildford in England. Here are a few of my thoughts on the subject.

I don’t know my neighbors. I can’t name the family, two roads down whom, I passed turning off of their road last evening.
