You will recall that members of the Christ Church congregation recently attempted to hot-foot it to the Duncanite Sect, hauling the church's property with them. A Georgia court ruled otherwise. <br /><br />The new campaign touts CC's history as "Mother Church" of Georgia (its first-born, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s_Church_%28Savannah,_Georgia%29" rel="nofollow">St John's</a>, seceded from the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1965, sooner than admit negroes to membership - fun place, Savannah) and proclaims its early association with John Wesley and George Whitfield - faithful, lifelong Anglicans both, each of whom established the precedent of jumping ship with the property.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224671339660011652.post-64477947615780260902010-03-29T14:08:46.238-07:002010-03-29T14:08:46.238-07:00http://www.christianpost.com/article/20100329/john...http://www.christianpost.com/article/20100329/john-piper-to-take-leave-to-reexamine-soul/index.html<br /><br />Isn't it nice when a man puts his wife before his ambition and ego?

Yes dear friends. Big Pete together with some of the other more dubious Primates are spending a little downtime at the luxurious Tuckers Point resort. Talk about share the wealth! dear friends. Thanks to the generosity of a wealthy patron Big Pete and his friends have invited all of our diocesan clergy to a slap up lunch followed by a little chat, how nice it all is. Pity they didn’t bother to ask the diocesan bishop, but why change the habits of a lifetime.<br />The Dear Old DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224671339660011652.post-37238950860242578082010-03-29T08:49:30.852-07:002010-03-29T08:49:30.852-07:00Could this be Dobby's long lost cousin?

Happily he did not engage in them prior to retirement as, in so doing, he might have lost some of the power he enjoyed from his proper pastoring of his North hating supporters. All good evangelicals or other pastoral leaders should pay heed to +Akinola's mentoring here and a good teaching moment: Never make any statements that could endanger your revenue stream, involve personal risk or jeopardize perceived political support, (no matter their pastoral appropriateness) until AFTER retirement when no one can accuse you of failing to act, because, after retirement, you have no power to act.
