800 Amendments!?

The Alabama constitution might be a mess but one could say the diocese of Central Gulf Coast is a bigger mess. Are they getting their cues from Rowan? Let’s distract the people from our poor leadership and make a political statement.

Political.

I’m a resident of the state of Alabama but not of the Dio. CGC.  Whatever problems that diocese has, they are exactly correct about the Alabama state constitution.  This is not coming in a vacuum.  There is a continuing effort to reform the Alabama constitution that is going nowhere, but that rears its head every election season.  The primaries are coming up on June 1, so expect to see more of this. 

Candidates usually are all for constitutional reform in this state, but somehow once they become legislators and governors, they drop that position.

#5—That said, never forget most TEC conventions are religious extensions of the DNC.

Re # 6
David,
Take out the word “religious” and I would heartily agree with your statement.

Ah, another matter for the Tea Party gang to get outraged about. Since the rest of the United States has always looked to Alabama and Mississippi for enlightened and highly moral political structures and practitioners, why the very notion of amending the Alabamian constitution is outrageous on its face.

Generally it seems the church should stay out of politics. But this constitution (as an AL resident) is so egregious it seems wrong not to speak up, whether I agree with the theology of this diocese or not.
