Congratulations to Bishop Mark Lawrence and the faithful Anglicans of South Carolina. Let's pray for a similar decision in Texas.
God bless,

Well, hey! There's some good news! Come on, Texas!
Court precedents, particularly those as strident as the SC verdict, are powerful and will tend to sway the court in Texas.
I expect that the folks in Westminster Abby are weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth like the souls of the damned at the decision -- and as the dominoes fall.
Let's hope it goes our way in Texas, Jenny...
Powerful verdict, LL. Some people will be quite upset.
But seriously, the threat of legal action is the glue that holds a good chunk of TEC together. The SC decision is very bad for them.
They must be held together based on their mutual faith in Jesus Christ, or none of it will last long at all.
