COMING SOON: Integrity Eucharist 2009

This year, Integrity's triennial celebration of God's inclusive love brings together two historic "firsts:"

Bishop Barbara Harris (the first woman bishop in the Anglican Communion) will preach and Bishop Gene Robinson (the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion) will celebrate at the service on Friday, July 10th at 6:30 p.m. in the Pacific Ballroom of the Anaheim Hilton.

The service is open to all: bishops, deputies and visitors to the Episcopal Church's General Convention -- as well as to ecumenical and interfaith guests.

Music will be provided by the fabulous choirs of All Saints Church, Pasadena
under the direction of the extraordinary James Walker.

The service will be followed by a reception hosted by the All Saints, Beverly Hills Gay & Lesbian Fellowship.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience the ministry of two of the Episcopal Church's historic justice leaders in a service designed to embody the full inclusion of all the baptized in all the sacraments.

Blog Faerie Commandments

Thou shalt be a current Integrity member; for as the
Psalmist says, “No good thing will YHWH withhold from those who walk with integrity.”
Thou shalt post legitimate news and public opinion
from recognized sources; for few blogs are fonts of true wisdom.
Thou shalt not post gossip; for it is serious sin that nobody preaches about anymore.
Thou shalt not include thine own opinions in posts; but thou mayest post thine own opinions using the comments feature.
Thou shalt not post hate speech nor engage in personal attacks against thy neighbor—neither in posts nor in comments. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Though shalt post items that emphasize the LGBT-positive side of issues whenever possible; for there are more than enough blogs devoted to denegrating us.
Though shalt mostly post items dealing with LGBT
equality in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion; but thou mayest post some LGBT secular news and LGBT news from other faith traditions.
Thou shalt not post copyrighted material in its
entirety; for it is abhorrent to the United States government. Rather, thou shalt post an excerpt or summary with a link to the original source.
Thou shalt cite the original source (author,
title, affiliation, publisher, date) of a post whenever possible; thus may readers direct their rants and raves in the right direction.
Thou shalt be wise with the quantity of material thou posteth to the blog; for the reader unsubscription rate is inversely proportional to the number of daily posts.
Thou shalt replace shaped quotation marks and
apostrophies (“ ” ’) with straight equivalents (" " ') whenever possible; for shaped characters are not supported by all e-mail servers.
Though mayest embed YouTube and Google video clips in a post but thou shalt also provide a hyperlink to the clip; for the clip itself may be stripped out of the e-mail version.
Thou shalt include graphics with thine posts when possible; for plain text is really boring.
