#1 "to bless duly solemnized

hmmm. Is that a spelling error? Just wondering.

#2 It is a good thing, because it means that a new, parallel Anglican-African missionary communion will appear in Ottawa, as a place for conservative Canadians to attend church. Alternatively, many of them have just left the church altogether over many years, and finally they will have a church they can be comfortable attending.

#3 Perhaps if they read the Bible ...

Perhaps if you read the Bible.

#4 Excalibur: And where in the Bible is a passage condoning and blessing homosexual activity?

It isn't there. Do as you wish, but don't call it Christianity if you reject major parts of it.

That is the correct spelling, which actually followed the pronunciation. Just like it's dammit, not damnit.

#6 TW: i think that was a snark: in that you replace the 'le' with a 'd'. if not proerly spelt, at least phonetically it changes....

#8 Chapman told a news conference it could take anywhere between a day to 10 years to make his decision...

That's about as Anglican as you can get.

#9 Jack is Back -
I was at some natural park a while ago and a display showed that alligator eggs hatch preferentially male or female according to the ambient temperature. I don't remember whether heat made more females or males, but it had a major effect.
If global warming can do that, it would not surprise me if it really did make more homosexuals.

#10 Heat makes more males.

Thanks, USN, Ret. I never think of such things. Mr. Wife has been translating since 1979, which fortunately he seems to find amusing. Nimble Spemble forgot to ask him about that at the last Rantapalooza.

#11 My recollection is you and the TDs had a protective shield around Mr. Wife. Trying to keep Emily and Ms Skolaut away aqs I recall.

#12 They are notorious man-eaters, Nimble Spemble. Mata Hari doesn't come close to those two. You'll remember, I'm sure, that Mrs. Pruit and Mrs. Bobby were awfully protective of their husbands, too. ;-)

#13 Seemed like Fred was in protective custody; cuffed to the chair...or her. Of course after your tarantella on the table top who can blame her?

#14 *giggle* Blame it on the bubbles in the club soda. I did drink several glasses of the stuff. ;-)
