Afternoon Interjection.

Bishop Gene Robinson will be a guest on the The Daily Show tonight. Bishop Robinson is the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion, and an all around good guy. He gives a sermon at my church about once a year and is invariably, insightful, delightful, funny, and humble.

Here are some bits from the last one I saw.

*More and more I am convinced that the Christian life is not about life after death. It's about life before death...

*So, this lawyer then pushes the point and says: "So what must I do?' And Jesus' answer in this story seems to be, "Love that costs, love that actually costs us something, costs us time, costs us money, costs us focus, costs us convenience. Love that actually costs us something."

*And if we had waited until women were valued as equal and full members of society and the human race for goodness sakes, all of that discrimination would still exist. Does anyone think that if those eleven women hadn't been irregularly ordained in
Philadelphia that we would be ordaining women yet?
