These are eleven people, who no doubt call themselves Christians, who went to a great deal of trouble to cobble together a list of "everything that they could think of that they'd ever heard anyone complain about" since 1998. put it together in a legal brief and present to the diocese for the purpose of? Destroying the ministry, reputation, family, security, and future of Fr Andrew Mead because he is a traditional, orthodox, Anglican priest who did not bow to them and their endless demands. <br /><br />They want to destroy him. They believe that their vision of equality is so pure and so just that nothing that they do in pursuit of their justice is disallowed.<br /><br />What they are doing to Fr Mead is wicked and evil. I leave it to others to connect the dots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34491110.post-34289494755423824302006-12-08T23:29:00.000-05:002006-12-08T23:29:00.000-05:00Indeed, little of it makes sense, it strikes me as...Indeed, little of it makes sense, it strikes me as a Cole Porteresque laundry list (excepte Porter's are drole); rather as if a small bunch of disgruntled parishoners (only eleven, in a parish that size? Then I'd say the old boy is doing pretty well) gathered around in someone's apartment just to dredge sins they could slap onto a complaint. If this is all the malcontents could come up with I think we need not worry too much about Fr. Mead's situation.The Bovina Bloviatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589846153927227356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34491110.post-3374244965371534352006-12-08T19:40:00.000-05:002006-12-08T19:40:00.000-05:00The part about the wedding just doesn't make any s...The part about the wedding just doesn't make any sense, and the part about the reserved seat is within his right (though perhaps unwise) as is the dismissal of the priest.
