Bishop Mary Glasspool extols Obama’s virtues

Los Angeles—Praising the Obama administration for upholding the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) persons in domestic and international contexts, Diocese of Los Angeles Bishop Suffragan Mary D. Glasspool attended a June 29 White House reception and policy briefing in honor of LGBT Pride Month.

For those who might be confused, LGBT means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender.

The Anglican Church believes that the sexual urges of those in the first three categories are placed there by God. And obviously God doesn’t make mistakes.

It also believes that the last category contains people whom God plopped into a body of the wrong sex. So in their case, he does make mistakes. The theological term for this apparent contradiction used to be known as an antinomy, but that was too hard for Anglican theologians to understand – or pronounce – so now it’s called a muddle.

 

Bishop Mary Glasspool promotes 9/11 harmony

On Saturday, Sept. 10, Los Angeles city hall will host One Light, a vigil for peace on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the devastating events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Under the leadership of Episcopal Bishop Jon Bruno, the three Abrahamic faiths have partnered with LA city council to hold the vigil at 7: 15 p.m. “People of all faiths are invited and people of no faith are invited,” says Suffragan Bishop Mary Glasspool. Saturday evening coincides with the end of the Sabbath for Muslims and Jews and the beginning of the Sabbath for Christians.

“We proactively wanted to say ‘one light, one peace, one world’ to have a visible sign of unity for peace to preempt any kind of terror or fear,” says Glasspool.

The religious leaders, who include Rabbi Mark Diamond and Imam Shaquile Sahid, intentionally picked a secular venue so that no one religious group would appear to be favoured. Some 5,000 people are expected, and 500 symbolic glass light globes will be given out.

“The idea is for a representative from each house of worship—whether it’s a church, a synagogue, a mosque, an ashram or a temple—to take a globe back to their home house of worship,” says Glasspool. “It will be a huge celebration.”

Everyone will then proactively sing “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”, while holding a glass light globe.

I’m anticipating this will not only be the end of terrorism but will usher in a new age of peace, love, universal accord and free love – mostly gay.

Bishop Mary Glasspool is the first Episcopal lesbian bishop: a person whom potential Islamist terrorists will respect.
