Courage

As reported in numerous places, the African Anglican primates have decided to refuse to accept donations from those supporting the confirmation of Gene Robinson. This is definitely putting their money where their mouths (and convictions) are, since much of their donations comes from such sources. The famous and wealthy Trinity Church on Wall Street in one such source.

As the Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola said, “We will not, on the altar of money, mortgage our conscience, mortgage our faith, mortgage our salvation."

Closer to home, five Ohio Episcopal congregations – the same five who participated in those controversial confirmations earlier this year – have told the new liberal bishop in their diocese not to come calling

These congregations will likely pay a price for their repudiation of liberal bishop Hollingsworth. Some expect their rectors and vestries to be deposed as has happened elsewhere in cases where parishes refuse to compromise and kiss liberal butt.

Do you think those who voted for Robinson underestimated the courage of conservatives?
