It's also a welcome reminder to me to uphold the principle of being charitable wherever possible.<BR/><BR/>I think there is that lovely patristic image of the Church being a Noah's Ark--of course, I think whoever said that must really know what it's like in the Church after we leave the liturgy...Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539229600863141024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-20244153401586179242008-07-28T23:24:00.000+01:002008-07-28T23:24:00.000+01:00... and a MacBook Air....

It seems to me that this is exactly the kind of personal stuff we all need to hear, and I hope you and your fellow bishops are benefiting from.<BR/>We were fortunate enough to have Bp Gerry Wolfe address our Diocesan Assembly just before Lambeth, and she brought a very powerful note of personal conviction and, dare I say, holiness, before us.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326403777027937887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-16865902552712727162008-07-28T20:34:00.000+01:002008-07-28T20:34:00.000+01:00Duncan was my priest for years before being electe...Duncan was my priest for years before being elected bishop.<BR/><BR/>I do not agree with him on everything, but I know him to be an entirely decent and loving man and a true Christian.

We have often crossed swords in public debates and I know he believes that my partner and I are destined for hell.<BR/><BR/>Yet he never fails to exchange the Peace with me, I am welcome at the prayer breakfasts in his house, and when my daugher suffered from a prolonged and serious illness he prayed for her every day and often contacted us to ask how she was.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I wish I'd find it easier to be like that!Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.com
