For some now, the leadership of the Episcopal Church has seem more and more intent on adhering not to a Christian theology but a progressive theology. While I think we are called as Christians to tend to the poor, I think our leadership believes the main purpose of the church is to advance progressive ideas.

So I am discouraged but not surprised to read that the some within ECUSA have suggested a replacement for the Stations of the Cross.

    4:33 With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

    4:34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.

    4:35 They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need
