Hat tip to Solomonia for this one.
You have to love it when governing church bodies strong arm churches into staying apart of the family:
Virginia Episcopal Bishop Peter J. Lee is threatening to sue conservative Episcopal churches that soon will vote on whether to leave his diocese, saying individual members of each congregation's governing board will be liable.
In a four-page letter released late Friday, the bishop of the country's largest diocese, with 90,000 members, sent a letter to parishes conducting a 40-day period of discernment on whether to leave the Episcopal Church.
A lawsuit? Nothing fosters community like the the threat of a lawsuit.
Funny how all the "peacenik" anti-war liberals don't mind inflicting the violence of a lawsuit on anyone who crosses them.
What hypocrites. All they care about is money and power. So much for following Jesus Christ.
