Exclusion<\/strong> \u2013 to exclude this word through an insufficiency of inclusiveness would be a heinous act of exclusion.<\/p>\n

Inclusion<\/strong> \u2013 see the above in reverse.<\/p>\n

Missional<\/strong> \u2013 there used to be no such word; it now exists through ecclesiastical fiat by virtue of its obligatory appearance in every pious pronouncement of today\u2019s church. It means: \u201cthe church will die if we continue to look inward, therefore we will we have conversations<\/i> about looking outward as we continue to look inward\u201d.<\/p>\n

Conversation<\/strong> \u2013 see above: meaningless Anglican prattle.<\/p>\n

Spirit<\/strong> \u2013 Anglican meaning: any spirit at all as long as it is not the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Journey<\/strong> \u2013 Anglican meaning: \u201caimless meandering\u201d. In today\u2019s church, being on a journey is an excuse for avoiding making the decisions necessary to becoming a Christian.<\/p>\n

Stewardship<\/strong> – real meaning: “the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving”. Anglican meaning: “we want your money”.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong> – Anglican meaning: “wishful thinking”.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong> 2019<\/strong> – wishful thinking after the Anglican Church of Canada has ceased to exist.<\/p>\n

Raising awareness<\/strong> \u2013 what is wrong with \u201cmake people aware of\u201d?<\/p>\n

Healing dialogue<\/strong> –<\/strong> Anglican meaning: kicking a conservative in the testicles while he is being distracted by conversation\u00a0<\/em>(for “conversation”, see above).<\/p>\n

People of faith<\/strong> – anyone who believes anything, including (sorry to use that word) atheists who believe that God doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
