Proof of Principle

As proof of the Pewster principle that,

"Theological and Biblical ignorance in the pews pays for and promotes theological and Biblical ignorance in the pulpit, in the House of Bishops, and in the seminaries all of which serve to perpetuate theological and Biblical ignorance in the pews."

...the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal church has let it be known that, by virtue of General Convention Resolution 2006-D008, tomorrow is "Theological Education Sunday", and each congregation is asked to commit 1% of their annual discretionary income to the accredited theological education institutions of the Episcopal church.

How dumb does she think we pewsitters are? Pretty dumb I guess... asking us to send money to institutions such as the Episcopal Divinity School whose president and dean claims,

"These are the two things I want you, please, to remember – abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done." (Link to StandFirm in Faith article)

Are we dumber than a box of rocks?

If the money rolls in, then we are, and the Pewster principle is validated.
