God bless the standing committee and give them the courage to denounce this devil who has come among us. Then let us get on with the business of restoring Grace EPISCOPAL Church to its rightful home. THEN let's put the devil and his apostles in jail where they belong!
It's interesting, tho not surprising, that Don will be busy mountain biking on Tuesday! That was the statement from Mr. Crippen in the Gazette article.
Finally we hear from our bishop. FINALLY!
I read the line about mountain biking in the Denver Post and thought...what arrogance!! I would have expected remarks stating he was "tending to the needs of his parish". This vs. mountain biking would seem more in line with priestly duties. I pray for a quick and just closure to this whole affair.
This arrogance is a malady that strikes some ultra-religious people. They consider themselves good moral people (in this case perhaps because he's standing up against the immorality of homosexuality) and feel that this justifies their little indiscretions that really aren't so little. I'm sure he has the theft rationalized as legitimate actions that just needed a few bookkeeping adjustments to satisfy those who don't understand what good work he's doing.
Don clearly thinks he knows better than Mrs. Bowton how to spend her funds. He knows better than the trustees of the ACI, the Grace vestry, and everyone else how best to manage the church funds. If they don't agree with his actions they are just wrong. He then doesn't seem to remember that the funds actually went to line his own pockets. He sincerely thinks he's "holier than thou" and 'thou' includes everyone.
It is ironic that in some ways he exemplifies the opposite of what I see as some of the best qualities of Christianity: humility, compassion, selflessness, and sincerity
