"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571
I am a presbyter in the diocese of Fort Worth, Texas (Anglican Church in North America). I serve as Chaplain at St. Vincent's School and as a canon of St. Vincent's Cathedral Church in Bedford, Texas. In addition to my parish duties and teaching Religion classes in the school I am also the Middle School Social Studies teacher.

Bean judge??? I recall you telling me that chili with beans was an abomination before God and man! Have the organizers considered the offense to consciences such as yours? Have they forgotten the words (I paraphrase) of St. Paul? "Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never force him to judge beans, lest I make my brother stumble."

No, sir, these were simply BEANS, not chili at all. There were six other judges for the chili competition. I and three others judged the beans at a separate table. I wouldn't dream of judging chili with BEANS in it, sir! Oh, the horror!
Well THAT'S a relief.
