Back in May of 2007, I
happened to be at an Anglican ministry meeting at the Diocese of Ft. Worth’s
Camp Crucis when word came out that the diocese was leaving The Episcopal
Church. I remember the excitement
of the priests there that they manfully but not altogether successfully
restrained.
Afterward, I had one of
those small experiences that impress upon the memory. I was driving on the narrow, pretty country road that leads
out of Camp Crucis. I reflected on the risk the Diocese of Ft. Worth was taking in order to be faithful. I thought
how awful it would be if the diocese were to lose the lovely camp
and the rest of their property to the lawsuits that were sure to come. And I hoped and prayed earnestly that
it would not be so.
So the news that the
lawsuit is virtually over and that the (real) Diocese of Ft. Worth has won
increases my thankfulness to God.
Thanks be to God indeed.
