Video interview with new PB

[gitlance]

I've noticed some recent discussions on here concerning what the new PB feels about various topics. Here is a recent video interview where she dicusses some of these topics at length, including homosexuality (which starts around 3:25).

Seven minutes and twenty seconds of interview - lots of talk about "mystery" "shalom" "creation", ONE reference to Jesus...is Christianity about saving souls or implementing a quasi-Marxist utopia?

I've heard all this talk before - I have a master's degree from a liberal Catholic university - makes me wanna vomit...

I would like to bet anyone on here she votes Democrat in EVERY election - anyone up for a pool?

This is an official moderator post.

Since ECUSA's convention is a contentious issue among Anglicans, non-Anglicans should avoid weighing in on either side, neither with debate of their own, nor with support for any contender. Such posts are violations of Christian Forums rule 1.4: they will be deleted and may lead to the poster being warned.

Whether you are Anglican or not, the Christian Forums rules against flaming, baiting and defamation; and all other Christian Forums rules; continue to be in force in threads relating to ECUSA's General Convention as in all other threads. The rule against flaming "groups of members" applies equally to disaffected or disappointed members of ECUSA who might be inclined to flame ECUSA; and to those who are satisfied with any outcomes who might be inclined to flame subgroups or lobbies within ECUSA.

In particular please note that, regardless of your position on the issues facing this convention, ECUSA identifies itself as a Christian group and you may not state or imply that they are non-Christian.

Flaming, baiting, defamation, or any other violations of Christian Forums rules will result in General Convention threads being closed until all violations have been removed; and may lead to the posters' being warned..

Ah, so the reason why half of the communion was up in arms over the election of Gene Robinson was because we don't 'understand' him. :doh:

Christianity without Christ... there is nothing more irrelevant.:sleep:

[Mysterium_Fidei]

She sounds like a Unitarian Universalist. There is nothing Christian about her message in this video, it's just political. I'm not saying that's terrihle, either. She has a desire to help people.

But, even so, I think our bishops are called to preach Christ first.

I have just watched this clip and I must say that I was very impressed. This is coming from an evangelical who is not naturally a fan of women's ordination or extra-marital relations. I think that once a province has ordained women to the priesthood, it is inevitable that a women will become a bishop, then primate. The only question is when. Within that context, it is only right that any bishop has an equal opportunity for advancement.

She says that she is frustrated that the debate surrounds the H topic, when there are far more important things for us to concern ourselves with. I feel exactly the same way.

She has a real heart for mission, throughout the world, and believes that this is something Anglicans are good at. I can say for myself that the main reason I stayed in Ecusa when I lived in the US was their attitude to mission, that none of the other churches that I might have considered had.

She then talks about H, creation etc. I take the place that this has in the clip as a factor of its source. Trinity is a mecca for gay Anglicans, is it not. It has an agenda which it is able to promote on its own website. It would be interesting to hear the clip uncut, or to hear the questions that were asked.

Then she goes on to talk about the qualities of the next presiding bishop - mission priority, so no arguments from me.

Then she talks about the election of Gene Robinson. I agree with her that there are arguments on both sides, and agree that GR has many spiritual gifts, and I agree that there is pain across the AC because of this. I don't agree that he was the right choice, however, because I cannot, in my heart, accept that there was not an adequate candidate without his baggage.

I agree with you about mission! The resolutions and discussion about the Millenium Development Goals should have bene the dominant theme of the convention, it is too bad that other issues had to be addressed instead.
I'm the Episcopal Relief and Development representative for my parish and I am so impressed with what that organization does world wide -- transcending politics.

Mission as priority is important, but it can't be considered a good thing, unless the other candidates are not for mission. As such, it doesn't really distinguish her from the other folks.

Pro-Life as priority is important, but it can't be considered a good thing, unless the other candidates are not Pro-Life.
Wait a minuet, some are some aren't!
Did we elect a pro-life Bishop?
Is that too much to ask?

Was there not a pro-life male or female available?

This sort of insanity deeply HURTs our ability to do mission work.

I'll wait a minuet if you'll wait a sonata! :D

Seriously, I see the point you're trying to make, Glen. I really am sad to see this upsetting you so much, you must be deeply disappointed. Do you think her stance on these issues is different than that of Frank Griswald?
