TEC Blessings for Gay Marriages in California
Read this official letter from Bishop Andrus of California (a.k.a. San Francisco and its environs) telling his clergy how to respond to the legalization of gay marriage in that state. Among the little gems in this pastoral letter is this news:
The Diocese of California will publish advertising around June 17 celebrating the Supreme Court ruling and inviting same-sex couples to our churches for pre-marital counseling and nourishment in communities of faith.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
And TEC has the gall to insist to the world-wide Anglican Communion that they are not "walking apart"! Words fail me. Our November vote in the diocese of Fort Worth cannot come soon enough for me.

If the state allows this kind of marriage, should not the church provide a means of counciling and support to those who are going to live that kind of partnering so that it may be lived in the most wholesome way possible?
Food for thought
Counselling perhaps (although couselling abstainance from sexual relations within their partnership is the only form I believe could pass muster with Scripture and Tradition),eucharistos, but note the full-throated insistence on the BLESSING of these "marriages" in this letter. This is completely beyond the Pale.
