Ormonde Plater, deacon, author, lord of the dance, and distinguished Episcopalian, gets it right in an article called “Impressions from the Week of the Bishops” when he says:
Why are we having all this fuss over gays and lesbians? I don’t understand it. I’ve served for thirty-six years in three parishes, bringing the sacrament to men dying of AIDS, going through my own turmoil, my own sequential growth, from having contempt of gays (as we were taught in our youth, especially in the South), to accepting them as sinners, to welcoming them as normal people. It’s absurd, totally absurd, that so many people, so many who call themselves Christian, are having a fit, throwing themselves into an uproar, over people who are perfectly normal Christians.
A wag of the tail to Ormonde for his grace filled comments on the week the Little Storm hit NO.
