ANGLICAN SOUTHERN CONE: Don´t Cry For Me Argentina, ¨I´ll try and explain how I feel¨

·It won't be easy, you'll think it strange--When I try to explain how I feel--That I still need your love after all that I've done·

Bishop Greg Venables, Argentina,
 ·still needs our love after all that he´s done·
Southern Cone's Provincial Synod elects Chilean Bishop Hector "Tito" Zavala the province's new Presiding Bishop
 Chilean Bishop Hector "Tito" Zavala, Presiding Bishop-elect, Southern Cone
 ·It won´t be easy, you´ll think it strange·
¨The tenth Synod of the Province of the Southern Cone of America, meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 1-5 November, 2010, has elected Bishop Hector "Tito" Zavala of Chile as its next Presiding Bishop replacing Bishop Gregory Venables. Bishop Zavala becomes the province's first Presiding Bishop of Chilean extraction. Bishop Zavala was vice-chairman of Southern Cone's Provincial Executive Council.

The Presiding Bishop of the Southern Cone is elected for a three year term and may be elected for more than one term. Under the provisions of the Southern Cone's constitution and canons metropolitical authority is vested in the Provincial Executive Council which the Presiding Bishop chairs. The Provincial Executive Council is made up of all the provincial bishops of the Southern Cone.

On October 1, 2010 Canon Kenneth Kearon, the Secretary General of the Anglican Consultative Council, wrote Bishop Zavala, requesting that he withdraw from membership in the Inter Anglican Standing Commission on Unity Faith and Order as his standing with the IASCUFO been reduced from member to consultant after Bishop Venables allegedly failed to respond to Kearon's request for clarification as to the current state of his interventions into other provinces. Bishop Venables subsequently disputed Kearon's claim that he had that he had not responded to Kearon's request.¨ HERE

Bishop Venables will remain Bishop of Argentina and Northern Argentina.

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
·
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
·
don´t cry for me Argentina
·
·
Have I said too much?
·
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

ATTENTION GREG VENABLES: An Argentine judge has granted a homosexual couple permission to get married

Presiding Bishop Greg Venables, a British Anglican priest, Bishop of Argentina and opposed to ¨Gay Marriage¨ and LGBT Christians participating at all levels of Churchlife

DON´T CRY FOR ARGENTINA!

Dear Bishop Greg,

While you were away, and then away again and then after you became way over your head recruiting/conjuring up ill for ¨Gay¨ Christians/others with like minded anti-LGBT Anglicans at Gafcon and the The Global South ¨intrigues¨ (where your dangerous/superstitious buddies +Akinola and +Orombi of Nigeria/Uganda supported draconian legislation against LGBT Christians and others) you were apparently NOT MISSED in ARGENTINA!

Holy Vaca, oh me, oh my, what to do? Your ministry of abominating/demonizing and marginalizing others and your not-so-sacred ¨word¨ has gone unheeded (in fact, rejected completely down Conealone way).

Argentines apparently didn´t notice your absense in Buenos Aires even earlier on Bishop Greg when it became the region's first city to approve civil unions between same sex couples in 2002...but you knew that already, didn´t ye Greg? The Christians/others in Argentina simply weren´t interested in the fear and hate and everyday bigotry and exclusion that you´ve been peddling at your home Province Church and abroad. No sale. No soap. No Pesos. No Monedas.

BREAKING NEWS especially for Marriage Equality enthusiasts and +Greg and his destructive Gafcon accomplices:

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An Argentine judge has granted a homosexual couple permission to get married, setting a precedent that could pave the way for the Catholic country to become the first in Latin America to allow same-sex marriage.¨ read it all, click HERE


But the best quote of the day went to the mayor of Buenos Aires, who despite being part of a political party that is often reticent on LGBT rights, said that he would not stop the judge's ruling from taking effect:

"The world is heading in this direction," said Mayor Mauricio Macri. "What we have to learn is to live in liberty without violating the rights of others." read it all, click HERE

ATTENTION Bishop Peter Akinola/Nigeria, Henri Orombi/Uganda and other instigators of HATE: Were you there when they crucified Carl Walker-Hoover?




ELEVEN YEAR OLD CARL WALKER-HOOVER IS A VICTIM OF GAY BULLYING!

¨All Carl Walker-Hoover wanted to do was be a kid, a kid who loved to play kid games, who strangely enough loved doing his homework, helping the needy, and helping out at church his mother said. Carl Walker-Hoover, described as both reliable and generous, didn't deserve to be taunted repeatedly by other kids at school calling him "gay and "fag." Such hatred is hard for a 11 year old to understand when all you have done is be yourself, how can people just hate someone for being themselves? Carl could no longer deal with it and took an extension cord and hung himself...¨read it all, click HERE

ATTN: Anglican GAFCON Participants and other Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender demonizers, bullies and abusive religious zealots.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THE DEMEANING and BULLYING of LGBT CHRISTIANS and other religious people? Are you responsible for the harm you cause/preach? Mr. BOB DUNCAN, JACK IKER, JOHN SCHOFIELD, GREG VENABLES and PSYUDO-RELIGIOUS RIGHTEOUS ACCOMPLICES why do you FEAR and HATE LGBT children and LGBT adults, our families, our loved ones and our friends? What are your intentions for correcting the abuse that you have initiated against LGBT Christians and others everywhere? You have instigated much harm against YOUR fellow human beings as you preach your selfproclaimed purity codes...it is YOU that defile nature and torment other human beings in the name of a God who doesn´t need your defense--God requests that YOU obey Gods Commandments!

¨Merciless Anti-Gay Bullying Leads To Child's Suicide
With the vicious, relentless, unchallenged, anti-GLBT rhetoric of Venango County-based groups such as the American Family Association of Pennsylvania and Christian Radio Station WAWN, will such a tragedy happen here? We hope and pray not!¨ read it all, click HERE


A suggestion:

STOP INSTIGATING LIES, FEAR AND HATE AT THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION and calling it ¨orthodox¨ beliving! Face your own character defects/sin! You demean Christianity with your vileness directed against fellow human beings. STOP IT NOW! STOP IGNORING HATE CRIMES in MURDEROUS JAMAICA, STOP initiating ¨witch hunts¨ IN UGANDA, STOP persecuting our families IN NIGERIA, STOP hanging LGBT citizens IN IRAN, STOP shooting LGBT citizen IN IRAQ!


Are YOU accountable for YOUR actions and ignorant words when slandering or acting-out against LGBT Christian and others? Are you accountable for the lies you spread against OUR LGBT brothers, sisters, children, extended family members, friends and coworkers?

¨Carl Walker-Hoover, an 11-year old charter school student from Massachusetts, took his own life last week after incessant taunting by fellow students. His story served as an example of the eminent danger some students face as the Minnesota Senate debated — and passed on Thursday — a measure to guide school districts in addressing bullying. It’s a measure that Senate Republicans vociferously opposed.¨ read it all, click HERE

Are you an accessory to CRIMES OF HATE or SUICIDE? Are you a vociferous ¨Senate Republican¨ in Minnesota? Are you secret serial killer-at-large with a serpents tongue spewing GAYHATE? Do you justify your fear and hatemongering, demonizing of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender people with selective Scriptural excuses
or simply for grovelling/pandering wrongminded political reasons?

GUILTY AS CHARGED?

Making ¨nice nice¨ with the Devil and his pals: UPDATED, February 8th, SUNDAY! Do we support bigotry with bailout funds?


It´s late afternoon, Latin America. The Birds are chirping loudly and the flowers are blooming loud colors. The Sun is streaming down...it´s the kind of day when accepting REAL life, no playing pretend, no thinking in denial, no ¨only if¨ passes my way...the train has left the station and there is no going back...all seems well yet there is more work to do, more people to serve and save from preventable disease and death and more humanity to embrace...more neighbors to love.


In the last weeks time there have been many things that have made me glad (and a few things that make me sad). The clear victory of decency and good-will toward all women and men happened in the United States Capitol of Washington D.C....President Barack Obama is a REAL reason for a sigh of relief and a huge THANK YOU GOD, Amen! AMEN! The World, and everyone of us in it, have been given another breather, another chance at peace, prosperity and a better understanding of one another, again...intellect and skill, as well as grace and basic manners and kindness have come to The White House.

Whew. It seems that a negative and obsessive national burden has begun to be lifted again. A immoral burden, a social injustice burden, a climb out from under pending doom and worldwide economic disaster burden.

Sorry, there is more to do, the Devil and his buddies are running out of control. Again. Still. Some of the work is urgent. People are dying, many are suffering in places like Sudan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Uganda and many are already dead.

Robert Mugabe, despot and self-selected President of Zimbabwe, tyrant, master scapegoater of others and murderer.

Never in my lifetime have I seen such outward expressions of everyday, FEAR displayed in public as the past eight years both in the United States and abroad...manmade acts in those years that seemed to encourage and celebrate war (I was a child, unaware of the acts of vileness during WWII), murder, torture, insult, rudeness, thievery, exploitation, resentment, punishment and plain old HATE. Never have I seen so many people give themselves permission to hate others, harm others, pontificate zealously, segregate other citizens, demonize and isolate *different* human beings while loathing others as they damn one another to Hell. All done, Proudly, Intentionally, Boldy. No humility, no shame..it´s been a eight+ year long WORLDWIDE, accross the board, SMEAR and terror CAMPAIGN! A political and religious hate campaign ending with great loss of integrity for everyone everywhere.


Never have I seen/heard so much degrading fantasy, and lies spewed out and about against LGBT people, and other minorities. Preached by religious and political leaders who don´t lead. Instead, these boys (and they mostly are bullies and immature, damaged, feardriven old men) plant poisoness and contaminated seeds of acting out against others as they preach/speak about the abominated lives of you, me and the all the other aledged ¨heathens¨...you know, the marginalized, the demeaned, the damned, the despised...we are to be found in the last and furthermost corner of everyday life where there is still universal ignorance and feardriven hate.

James Dobson, Focus on the Family, a breeder of dissension within families.

The NETWORK behind ANTI-GAY funding, read it all, click here

As if any of fear and hatemongering religious/political activists knew me or my character, sins or not, or yours, or my Heterosexual, Bi, Gay or Transgender friends down the street...these are hate and fear-mongers, everyday citizens, brothers, sisters, lovedones and friends are being persecuted by spiritually disturbed/twisted zealots.

Howard F. Ahmanson Jr, IRD Fundamentalist ¨Christian¨ moneyman, Savings and Loaner (inherited wealth), recluse and major contributor for YES on Prop 8, California.

BREAKING UPDATE ON Howard AHMANSON Jr. and others Follow the anti-LGBT BIG Money, do we indirectly help fund BIGOTRY with U.S. taxpayer bail out money? Read it all, click here:

QUESTION: Ought LGBT citizens, our families, our friends and lovedones and co-workers be using the Howard Ahmanson Jr, Savings and Loan related services and those of his bigoted buddies? Are we paying into the very financial firms that use their profits and payrolls, bonuses and/or other ¨perks¨ to slander, harm and exclude us?

Read more about the background and current antics of Howard Ahmanson Jr., Savings and Loaner, click here:

Faux ¨religious¨ mudslingers turned gunslingers know nothing about the inside of me, my actual character, or yours and/or our relationships with other human beings and with God. These fundamentalists assume ugliness about you and me, they spread fear and hate, they sometimes encourage massacre and war and they ALWAYS demand we adhere to whatever it is that they insist upon is their correct, flawless and exclusive version of Truth and Light!

Bishops Minns and Akinola of the Akinolan/Anglican Church cult of Nigeria...their CANA cult, Nigerian Anglican Church U.S. branch is currently in court for attempting to poach on many properties of The Episcopal Church in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The case has now gone to the Commonwealth Supreme Court (and may be headed for the U.S. Supreme Court).

Archbishop Akinola, who compares gay people to dogs, and calls their children bastard hooligans read all about Bishop Akinola and his deadly, and various, fear/hate-mongering inspirational messages, click here:

Never have I felt and seen the results of such strident defaming of others that has often resulted in outcasting, jailing, tormenting, murder and the instigating of crime and laws of hate as in places like Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya the West Indies and Iran...all done in the name of a God who needs no defense and furthermore COMMANDS us to Love God and to Love Our Neighbors/One Another as Self.

Bishop Henri Orombi of the Anglican Church of Uganda thinks Homosexuality was ¨imported¨ to Uganda so he is currently backing a ¨witch hunt¨ at all levels of everyday life in Uganda to cleanse Uganda of LGBT sinners of all religious stripe. Bishop, like Colonial Era blamer Mugabe, Orombi has also initiated and conspired for ¨takeovers¨ of various Episcopal Church properties at the Diocese of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A....the California Supreme Court just said NO to him with his takeover attempt and said NO to his bigoted accomplices too..Thou Shalt Not Steal. Got it, Henri? Are you ¨listening¨ or are you once more going to appeal for your right to demonize, demoralize, and exclude other human beings at all levels of Churchlife?

SELECTIVELY quoted Scripture...is ESPECIALLY NASTY when the Scripture is mistranslated or simply misunderstood/ignorantly preached, and/or intentionally rewritten to intentionally harm or control other human beings as The Reverend Göran Koch-Swahne will help you see more clearly. click here to read it all and scroll down for the English, also available at the right sidebar: all done, once again, continously, to cover the vile actions of religiously ¨righteous¨ folks, or to ¨cover¨ exploitive activities of those who attempt to GET, GET, GET no matter the cost to humanity.

UPDATE by The Reverend Göran Koch-Swahne read it all, in English, at the right side bar or click here:

They insist and demand that we understand the God of their grasping, clutching, feardriven and angry puritan religious ¨man made¨ cultism.

It won´t work. It´s never worked out well at the end for terrorfied, and insecure, liars and thieves who cover their actions with selfrighteousness at Church. That´s part of what we´ve been faithfully been helped to come to see/believe. It´s just not going to happen. The anger, the hate, the thieving can´t be sustained...and now, it seems, to me, there is a clear opening in the heavens to let GOD shine down on us again. Yet another chance at everyday decency! Again and again we´ve been given the opportunity to Love God, to Love Oneanother and to face REALITY...it looks like RIGHT NOW we have another opportunity to make ¨nice nice¨ or simply say NO to those who lack personal, and collective, integrity at the expense of our Brothers, Sisters, Mothers and Fathers at The Body of Christ and beyond.

It´s time to let fear drop away. It´s time to GROW UP EMOTIONALLY and SPIRITUALLY and to face God and REALITY and say no to pompus liars and thieves and to challenge the devil as he and his pals instigate/preach hate against humanity!

Thanks be to God that we can finally SEE before those holes in holiness tear the WHOLE fabric of humanity to shreads.

MY HERO/ OUR HERO: Jon Bruno, Bishop of The Episcopal Church Diocese of Los Angeles! A former police officer who won´t allow theiving or deceit!


The Right Reverend Jon Bruno, Diocese of Los Angeles, The Episcopal Church, Anglican Communion

¨Applying the neutral principles of law approach, we conclude that the
general church, not the local church, owns the property in question.¨ read it all, click here:



ATTENTION Bishop Orombi of UGANDA: ¨The General Church, NOT THE LOCAL CHURCH, own the property in question¨...please vacate our buildings immediately and go back to Uganda and stop the WITCH HUNTS at all levels of society that YOU have instigated against LGBT Anglicans/Christians and others! You harm and deceive your fellow human beings and your home culture is rampant with criminal activity, civil war and corruption...heal thyself!

The California Supreme Court Opinion RULES in FAVOR of the Diocese of Los Angeles, read the entire opinion, click here:


ATTENTION Bishop Venables of ARGENTINA: Please remove yourself from The Episcopal Church Buildings at The Dioceses of San Joaquin, San Diego and Northern California. Do not take anything with you as you scurry back to the Province of The Southern Cone(alone) where your failed ministry has little following and where your fear-hatemongering ¨takeover¨ campaign has failed there too.

Official Statement from the Diocese of Los Angeles which applies to ALL Episcopal Church properties in the State of California...read it all, click here:

Go home Orombi and Venables, repent, it´s your choice, Love Thy Neighbor and stop attempting to exclude other Christians at all levels of Churchlife...it´s illegal and immoral to steal.
