Question for Karen Winter
Karen Winter, 60-ish career wastrel and bird-diddlier and schismatic,

Did the people in the churches you attended in California *or* New Mexico know of your advocacy of pedophilia and your championing the interests of [retch] "responsible pedophiles"? Did they know about Sylvia's dangerous hatred for all children? > We had friends, I'd been involved in altar guild and > licensed by the bishop as a Lay Eucharistic Minister, > been sponsored for Cursillo and attended, given altar > vessels and other things to my parish, and so on. People > would have known what Derek claimed was ridiculous. What did Derek claim, Karen? He didn't claim anything. He forwarded your uncoerced writings, your blurting out of your loathsome values, to the rector of St. Bede's Episcopal church, and now, apparently, to the rector of the Holy Faith Episcopal church. If he had noticed that you lived in Antioch in Northern California and had looked up a list of Episcopal churches in that area, he might well have sent the same material to any church officials' e-mail addresses he could find for that area, too. > But here, no one knew us very well, and they were willing > to accept Derek's wild accusations at face value. I think > that was why he waited to attack us until we moved. You really are losing your grip. It's simply astonishing that you don't seem to understand *at all* that the the legally responsible people at an institution like a church have both a moral and a legal obligation to take information like that contained in Derek's e-mails very seriously. You can blabber until you're blue in the face that laws concerning pedophilia are wrong, but your society is vehemently against your position. Derek made *no* accusations against you at all, based on the material he said he sent to two church rectors. Rather, he provided them with written statements you have freely made, statements which clearly place you far outside the community standards of morality and protection of children. People at St. Bede's, at least, take their responsbilities seriously enough that they apparently initiated discussions with you that led to your _de facto_ expulsion from that church. We'd all be very curious to know what discussions you might have with the rector of Holy Faith if you have any at all. > The same is true of *** people in general.

There are doctrinal reasons why many people in the Episcopal and other churches believe that to be wrong. You don't get to revise the doctrine merely for your convenience, and you don't get to take a cafeteria approach to church doctrine. > That has happened over the > last several decades in places like California and New > Hampshire In places like Africa, where gays are still > invisible in many places, Here we go again: white liberal westerners disparaging third world people of color. |
