The Bishop of Upper South Carolina is trying his hardest to plug the leaks in his diocese by pushing his "In Dialogue With Each Other: A Curriculum" (on same sex relationships) into the cracks that are appearing as two of his largest churches have already charted a different course. A lot of Episcopal clergymen are called "Father", but after reading Bishop Waldo's lame attempt to save a sinking denomination, "fothering" maybe a better description of the pastoral skill set of this typical Episcopal bishop.
If you are taking a long voyage this summer, bring a copy of the Bishop's work with you. Good luck if you do start taking on water because it appears that "relationship" is going to be the only tool you have going for you.
Relationship, relationship will keep us together
Think of it, babe, whenever
Some sweet talkin' blogger comes along
Singin' his song, don't mess around
You just got to be strong
Just pledge, 'cause I really relate to you
Pledge, I'll be thinking of you
Look in your pocketbook
And let relationship keep us together
You, you belong to me now
Ain't gonna set you free now
When those bloggers start
Posting around, talking me down
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound
Just pledge, 'cause I really relate to you
Pledge, I'll be thinkin' of you
Look in your pocketbook
And let relationship keep us together, whatever
Naive and dutiful
Someday your youth will be gone
When the Bible turns you off
Who'll be turnin' you on
I will, I will, I will
I will, be your bishop forever
Relationship will keep us together
I said it before and I'll say it again
While others contend,
I simply bend
Just pledge, 'cause I really relate to you
Pledge, I'll be thinking of you
Look in your pocketbook
And let relationship keep us together, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will
You better pledge, 'cause I really relate to you
Pledge, I've been thinkin' of you
Look in your pocketbook
And let relationship keep us together, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will
Apologies to Captain And Tennille
How long will it take before the fothering of this Episcopal ship fails and the diocese goes down to Davy Jones locker?
