I mean the red gory kind. It will limit the number of Episcopalians, but we sure could add a lot of Copts, Chaldeans, Catholics, and Orthdox who have suffered at the hands of the Peace Lovers. Of course, what we will get is the first person to allow the Peace Lovers to use the Nat Cat, since that was a fulfillment of striving for justice and peace or something.Davehttp://theologicalhumidor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-68217547985942794372015-05-27T08:46:07.475-04:002015-05-27T08:46:07.475-04:001. “The bible and the church have been the greates...1. “The bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling block in the way of women's emancipation.” [Elizabeth Cady Stanton who is an atheist and currently on the HWHM roster]<br />2.

Some of those people shouldn't be listed (e.g. Dorothy Day). <br /><br />There should be a moratorium on adding more names for five years, followed a new policy: any new people have to have died 200 years ago. That should sort it.<br /><br />Churchmouse Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
