In Your Face

The Episcopal organization (TEO) based in New York City has updated its shield to be more inclusive for "Pride Month".  

I don't see any element in the new shield that includes the marginalized and oppressed minority of orthodox Christians who might lurk in the shadows of this organization. 

Diversity and inclusivity in TEO is, like their fancy vestments, miters, and episcobabble, a sham. 

There is little to be proud of.

 I can only hope that someone somewhere in TEO will open their Bible this month and inwardly digest these verses before joining the parade,

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:15-17 ESV

And,

We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. Isaiah 64:6 ESV
