Stomach turned
Thanks Jenny S. for sending me this:
“The central story of Christianity will fade away,” she [Gretta Vosper] explained. “The story about Jesus as the symbol of everything that Christianity is will fade away.”
The head of the United Church of Canada, David Giuliano, who went to divinity school with Ms. Vosper 20 years ago, said if he felt the way that she does, he would not be a minister. But it is not his job to condemn, he said, and the church is structured in such a way that complaints have to come from the congregation before any action can be taken. And so far there have been no complaints. He also sees the United Church, considered the most liberal of the mainline Protestant churches, as broad enough to encompass a wide range of theologies.
Sometimes you just don’t know what to say when you read something like this.
It just turns one’s stomach.
