Has anyone checked out this conservative
Anglican website hosted by Kendall Harmon?

It could use some progressive and loving
Christian postings to counter the rabid hate
and lies.

1. Probably won't do any good...

They'll probably just tombstone anyone who rebuts them.

I have been on several Anglican mailing lists. On one of them, Fr. Harmon was one of the members. Back then, he was conservative, but not obnoxiously so. Now, he seems to have gone over the edge.

Of course, one other politely-conservative priest who was a frequent poster to that group later wound up getting busted for running a large crystal meth ring...

:wow: <-- an accurate portrayal of my reaction when I got that news

Episcopal priest in Maryland sentenced to nine months for drug trafficking

(Washington Post) On March 19 an Episcopal priest was ordered to serve nine months in prison after pleading guilty to dealing methamphetamine, or "speed," from his Laytonsville, Maryland, church in what his attorney called part of a personal $300-a-day drug habit.

The Rev. Travis Koerner, rector of the 200-member St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, is believed to be the first Episcopal priest in the country convicted of dealing drugs. The case has caused church officials to ask more pointed questions about drug use during priests' periodic background checks, said the Rev. Ted Karpf, a spokesman for the Diocese of Washington.

4. 9 months seems like a relatively light sentence

Not that I disagree with it. I think down here there's a MMS of three years for selling a joint. Not sure about meth.

Did they go easy on him because he's a priest? Or is that a typical sentence?

5. Looks like Travis might have a hard time finding his next job...n/t
