A LENTEN TEST? Friday, yesterday, The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby installs ACNA Rector Tory Baucum as a preacher at Canterbury Cathedral

Friday, yesterday, The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby installs ACNA Rector Tory Baucum as a Six Preacher at Canterbury Cathedral as ACNA Archbishop (left) grins.

A LENTEN TEST?

A whining thief, a doubletalking deadbeat and a shifty coward at Canterbury Cathedral celebrate their PLACE TO STAND (against/without LGBTI people at the Church of England and Anglican Communion).

Meanwhile. the first ARRESTS are being made of GAY PEOPLE (just for being Gay) in Uganda and one new murder of a Gay person has been reported.  Unfortunately the Archbishop of Canterbury seems to be pandering to the GAFCON/GLOBAL SOUTH preachers and fundamentalist supporters at the Anglican Communion! 

MAY I REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF UGANDA ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSED THE ¨JAIL THE GAY FOR BEING GAY LAW¨ and PRIMATE STANLEY/UGANDA HAS REVALIDATED THE CHURCH OF UGANDA AS BEING IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF NORTH AMERICA/ACNA (not affiliated with the Anglican Communion).

Sadly the Archbishop of Canterbury has endorsed vile, and even deadly, behavior toward LGBTI Anglicans at the Anglican Communion by supporting Duncan and Baucum.

Unfit, all.  Dangerous for all at the worldwide Anglican Communion as Justin Welby, ABC, promotes those who endorse inhumanity, jail and bloody murder against LGBTI Anglicans in Uganda and beyond at GAFCON, the U.S.A. fundmentalist influence  ($$$), sponsor of the Global South schismatics.

GAFCON and THE GLOBAL SOUTH - anti-LGBTI bigots at Church

Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, you HARM LGBTI Christians/others at The Church of England and throughout the Anglican Communion.

Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, does not want to see the Anglican Communion self-destruct during his incumbency

¨One can hardly fault the Archbishop of Canterbury for trying to keep the Anglican Communion from disintegrating; doing so is surely a task entailed by his job description¨

¨Yesterday, some friends and I were discussing how Rowan Williams has been such a disappointment as Archbishop of Canterbury. Whereas many of us expected him to be a progressive primate who would move both the Church of England and the Anglican Communion forward, he has instead been an instrument of reaction under whose leadership the Anglican Communion threatens to either fall apart or to descend into irrelevance. Those of us who welcomed the end of George Carey’s tenure had high hopes for the new resident of Lambeth Palace, but those hopes were not to be realized. We prayed that the Jeffrey John affair would prove an aberration, but Rowan’s missteps began happening with such predictable regularity that that it soon became statistically impossible to credit them either to momentary lapses in judgment or simple bad luck.

What went wrong?

The answer, I think, is twofold...¨read it all, HERE

NO MORE SECRETS! Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, speak against proposed SHARIA-LIKE law in UGANDA!

Dr. Rowan Williams and Anglican Primates/Bishops there is a anti-Homosexuality GENOCIDE CAMPAIGN gaining strength at various Provinces of the Anglican Communion! What exactly will YOU do to save LGBT Anglicans/others from MURDER and/or PERSECUTION in Uganda HERE , Jamaica HERE, Nigeria HERE , Rwanda HERE. Africa faces a new era of anti-Gay laws HERE promoted by fundamentalist ¨Christian¨ American/Australian and English extremist ¨groups¨ who are increasingly spreading lies and bigotry around along with lots of MONEY?

What will you do to stop this wave of HATE, demonizing and OUTCASTING at The Anglican Communion? Do you think it is time that you had a real, and not subtle or ¨careful¨, conversation about LGBT Anglicans and OUR REALITY...you know, the famous ¨Listening¨ that you have a ¨commision to monitor¨ but the ¨Listening¨ doesn´t exist where fanatic extremism and outright LIES and other forms of falseness (bribes, purjery, threats) exist against LGBT Christians/others. Time to get down to the REAL, and uncomfortable, business of HUMAN SEXUALITY and bring ¨everyone up to speed¨ on the realities vs. deception (self and the preaching of MORAL UNTRUTH to others).

Archbishop of Canterbury and Primates at the Anglican Communion and ALL ANGLICAN BISHOPS please start facing the STARK UGLY TRUTH about the ¨shocking realities¨ of what/who is infecting some of the clergy and laity at the Anglican Communion!

November 2, 2009, I wrote a NOTE to Dr. Rowan Williams and TODAY a response arrived from Marie Papworth, Press Secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Lambeth Palace, London.

Dear Dr. Williams,

Immediately. Yes, immediately take a position against the deadly/reckless Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009, pending before the Parliament of Uganda...this matter ought be a EMERGENCY MEETING topic of your Primates Council since our Provinces in Uganda, Nigeria and Kenya offer LGBT Anglicans NOTHING in terms of holy ministry...there is a POGROM taking place, wake up...shame on you, again and again for violating the trust and ¨first amongst equals¨ leadership responsibility that has been gifted to you at The Body of Christ!

RESPONSE from LAMBETH PALACE: Today, December 15, 2009

Dear Mr Ricardo,

¨Thank you for your message and for taking the trouble to write about this deeply painful issue.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is very clear that the Private Member’s Bill being discussed in Uganda as drafted is entirely unacceptable from a pastoral, moral and legal point of view. It is a cause of deep concern, fear and, to many, even outrage. The Archbishop has publicly stated that “the proposed legislation is of shocking severity and I can’t see how it can be supported by any Anglican who is committed to what the Communion has said in recent decades”.

For its part the Church of Uganda has clearly restated its opposition to the death penalty. As the Ugandan Church continues to formulate its position on the bill as a whole, the Archbishop has been working intensively behind the scenes (over the past weeks) to ensure that there is clarity on how the proposed bill is contrary to Anglican teaching.¨

Dear Marie Papworth
Press Secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Lambeth Palace, London, SE1 7JU

Dear Dr. Williams,

I´m not the silent type any longer. I´ve spent decades listening to the bull-crap launched against LGBT Episcopalian/Anglicans and others. I´ve been guilty of listening quietly as friends were verbally assassinated, abused physically and discriminated against...I´ve been known to be a coward, that is, until my beloved loved one of fourteen years was murdered in a crime of hate eleven years ago.

On All Saints day, just past, I took another flowered cross to his tomb.

I´m no longer a coward. I stopped acting like you and ¨being¨ like you over a decade ago. I started taking responsibility for my personal ¨beliving¨ as well as my religious ¨thinking¨ and my everyday actions (especially the ones that harm others directly or indirectly).

As an Episcopalian/Anglican Gay person I suggest that you immediately QUIT taking POTSHOTS at OUR worthy and honorable LGBT sisters and brothers at the BODY of CHRIST...somehow you seem to imagine US to be defiant/noisy rebels and less pius/holy than you. We aren´t very holy I imagine by zealot or snobbish standards, but, in fact, we may be a step ahead in the substantial unanimity holiplace by being in complete agreement with most everyone as the holy spirit worked her way at the convention of the diocese of Los Angeles and beyond at The Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion...you know, Bishop Rowan, WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE! When unanimous, everybody is of same ¨informed¨ mind and acting together as one at The Body of Christ without being threatened or intimidated by pontificating preachers with sometimes less-than-perfect/pure hidden personal flawed character driven agendas.

Many sacred fellowships consider unanimous decisions a sign of agreement, solidarity, and not only UNITY but the very voice of God...often, explanations, personal sharing, questioning (self and others) and the answering of ¨sensitive¨ subjects needs to be done to arrive at such a spiritually healthy and holy place as understanding one another, and Gods ¨will¨ for us with better clarity...it´s a process for us and process of healing and growing...it´s informed unanimity and it can´t ever be bulldozed into ¨being¨ by a private club of some +selfserving/selfrighteous elitists and a handful of superstitious/dangerous Primates who refuse to listen to anything but the sound of their own tiresome demanding voices. It´s about caring about others enough to listen to them and learn from them...it´s humility in action.

Please start paying attention to the REALITY of those of us ¨others¨ who love God and also love our neighbors in the spirit of gladness and UNITY in everyday life. Please stop abusing Episcopalian/Anglicans, please stop being snide to Americans and LGBT Christians everywhere...stop it now and start lifting up your head.

These small, but important, REAL actions of ¨informed¨ positiveness resulting in UNITY are being worked out on a person to person basis often with healthy minded non-despotic spiritual guidance and leadership...enlightenment IS occuring. The kind of enlightenment that has been ignored by several religious extremist PRIMATES and by you personally/recently...you, a teacher, a previously trusted leader, a knowledgeable man, a force that aims for wholeness..it is YOU that must make yourself more clear, and be more self-honest and learn how to say NO to bigotry, convulting truth and the generating exclusion at ALL levels of Anglican Communion life.

We´re not afraid to TRUST God and follow Gods ¨will¨ for us and that is the path that we are on...join us, put your fears aside and follow the ministry of inclusion that you once championed...¨ My entire ¨open letter¨ to Dr. Rowan Williams, HERE

WORDS FAIL HIM: Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, and his version of Russian Roulette/Religious Pretend*

Incompetent/lacking capability: inadequate, incapable, unfit. Totally incapable of doing a job: See ability/inability. read it all, click HERE

Do you hear the whiz of these descriptive words flying by your very own ears, thoughts and deepest spiritual and personal disciplines and convictions? If so, that´s good, because you´re in touch with the STARK REALITY and sad and unfortunate lack of leadership at The Anglican Communion...you, like me, are well past the playing of the more dangerous daily, costly, demoralizing games of DR ROWAN WILLIAMS version of RUSSIAN ROULETTE and RELIGIOUS PRETEND!


·What ¨witch hunt¨ in UGANDA?

·What rampant corruption amongst the NIGERIAN clergy?

·What +Orombi decries ¨evil imported Gays¨ in UGANDA?

·What hate crime murder in LIVERPOOL during The Lambeth Conference?

·What hate crime murders in JAMAICA?

·What new anti-human rights legislation in NIGERIA?

·What provincial ¨boundry crossings/attempted theft¨?

·What ¨Hooligan children of LGBT parents¨ +Akinola NIGERIAN smear?

·What ¨Gay Activists and Gay Practitioners are devils agents¨ in UGANDA?

·What ¨Homosexuality in Uganda is antihuman?¨

·What *other* Gay Bishops?

What to do, oh, what to do? Maybe pretending will make it all go away? Everything is fine? Stiff upper lip and all that!

¿verdad?

No need to worry, only the LGBT Anglicans/others in Africa and Middle East are being murdered daily (well, there was that little overlooked matter of the rampant murderous crimes of hate being committed in Jamaica, Western Hemisphere...best not mentioned at the May, 2009 ACC Meeting at Kingston...it would have been impolite, heaven forbid) and, ofcourse, there is the run-away and deep rooted political/cultural corruption in many third world Provinces. The raping and human exploitation and that tiresome sex slavery dealing. Oh my, what a challenge, facing REAL issues regarding REALLY immoral behavior and all of those individual personal character basics (defects of character that can be put into play by heterosexual and homosexual Anglicans everywhere)...daunting?

¿verdad?


·What Ten Commandments?

¨+Drexel and Dr. Raider, er, Dr. Ephraim Radner have got the perfect Anglican Covenant for you!¨ Sign up now, avoid the BUMS RUSH! ¨The End is NEAR¨ +D.Gomez ¨The Sky is Falling¨ +C. Little

For years the Archbishop of Canterbury has been ignoring some of the more despicable anti-human discriminating acts launched upon confused and innocent Churchgoers by Gafconish Bishops and their slippery accomplices at various Provinces of The Anglican Communion. Deceitfilled, and SECRET, actions which have resulted in the tormenting, outcasting, jailing, brutalizing, demonizing, marginalizing and the general persecution and slandering of LGBT Anglicans, our families, our friends and unsuspecting others. In addition, ++Rowan, with his apparent lack of emphasis and/or outright denial of things truly dishonest and vile , presents a dithering and shameful leadership example...lackluster support for INCLUDING ALL ANGLICANS AT ALL LEVELS OF CHURCHLIFE (you know, ¨callings¨) when attending important ¨Instruments of Unity¨ meetings throughout The Anglican Communion.

Archbishop Rowan and other timid/cowardly and dodgy footdragging clerics have delivered, unto us, irresponsible moral leadership, slothful discerning, inappropriate ¨suggesting¨ while simultaneously being in DENIAL regarding the many negative and even sometimes deadly behavior(s)within The Anglican Communion...behavior that directly harms others at Church. Behavior that directly harms The Anglican Communion and OUR relationships with OUR brothers and sisters in the WORLD beyond Lambeth Palace forgetting.

Don´t look away.

The depth of ++Rowans denial and inadequacy, yet save ONE effort to castigate, as ¨First Amongst Equals¨, is his mission/intent to PUNISH THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH and TEC OPENLY GAY BISHOP, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, U.S.A.

Most likely ++Williams will underscore his snide and resentfilled ¨case¨ against prematurely (before his retirement) ¨out¨ Gay Bishops at the upcoming General Convention of The Episcopal Church at Anaheim, California. Perhaps he will once again make his case for the ¨fasting and crucified place participation¨ of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Episcopalians with ++KJS and deliver another stern WARNING of foreboding for LGBT participation at all levels of Churchlife (The ABC still doesn´t want to upset the slandering despotic bishops who demonize and harm other Anglicans at The Anglican Communion) to the gathered Deputies and Bishops.

Such is some of the important measure of Archbishop Rowans wasted talent and fine intellect as our lost passion for basic and decent spiritual leadership/friendship and fellowship during the ++Rowan ministry term at The Body of Christ...as Anglican Communion inter-relationships fade into the Sunset of Anglican Communion History, we can always hope and pray for a more responsible, accountable, approriate and ¨engaged¨ response from ++Rowan before the finale.

*Lacking capability: inadequate, incapable, unequal, unfit.
