The Oregonian had written an article over our leaving The Episcopal Church and Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud feature a discussion between our priest, FR. David Humphrey, and the Bishop of Oregon Rt. Rev. Michael J. Hanley Or priest admit this was not the kind of publicity we need and did a good job on the show. The Oregon article was not band but some of the comments give reason for my reason in voting to leave.
It regards to Rt. Rev. Hanley comments, I am one who decided along with 100 or so to leave church for St. Mathews Anglican church. Like many I am bothered by those who think this just an anti -homosexual issue rather the greater one of the authority of scripture, for example as expressed in the Nicene Creed and the Thirty Nine Article of Religion:

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010A Strange Thing I Cannot Take A Handout
Saturday, May 1st, 2010I was collecting cans and bottles for gas money. Unemployment only covers rents food, electricity, and internet. I had been using money from my EBay / balloons for everything else. I still need money thus collecting cans. I figure if I can get 30.00 I can use for gas to get to the estate sales or haul stuff for $$ and make more money.
A person gives me 15.00 I try to say no; it is bad enough I am on unemployment. Finally, I took his money and just made the same amount donation a rescue mission. I just could not keep his money because I feel I have not exhausted my means to support myself. Anybody had a similar situation?
Ps. pray that I get a job soon.
