Here’s an e-mail I just received:

…is done!

if you want to read it, it’s available here.

A quote I read in National Geographic once summed up the problem. 
It came from a Berber Muslim shepherd and referred to people who commit
acts of hate and violence: “Because God is mostly silent, some people
think they can do whatever they want in His name.”

I, of course, think of this in regard to those who would leave the
church over Gene Robinson’s ordination.  Those people probably
think the same of us who gathered in that hockey rink on Sunday to
assent to his election as bishop.  And I’d hope that God’s silence
on the matter pushes us to keep working out our faith in love for one
another.

Try a little loving today, and I’ll try the same.
