The Right Reverend Charles Bennison of the Pennsylvania Episcopal Diocese paid an Easter visitation to St. Dunstan's church - and in the space of an hour and a half managed to bring up - the Holocaust, our gay and lesbian brothers (now 15% of the population), feminist liberation theology, racism, and several other things that felt more like a New York Times editorial than an Episcopal Easter homily.
I'm sure that he must have casually mentioned the resurrection of Jesus Christ - but somehow I missed it.
Church today was filled with people who come once a year but are perfect candidates for commitment. I cannot imagine how they felt. They could have gotten the same message in a Hillary Clinton stump speech but in half the time.
The Episcopal church deserves its fate. And Bishop Bennison is a perfect escort for its descent.
