Integrity Fort Worth Announces Bible Study & Eucharist With Bishop Wallis Ohl

May 3. 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTEGRITY FORT WORTH CALENDAR INCLUDES EUCHARIST WITH BP. WALLIS OHL

Fort Worth, Texas—Integrity Fort Worth, a support group for the LGBT community primarily in the Episcopal Diocese of Forth, has announced activities and dates throughout December 2011. A highlight of the year promises to be a “working lunch Bible Study and Eucharist,” celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Wallis Ohl, provisional bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, according to Integrity Chapter Convener David Lindsey.

“We are thrilled that Bp. Ohl has included Integrity Fort Worth in his busy schedule,” Lindsey said. “Bp. Ohl will lead an ‘African’ or ‘Lambeth’ Bible study for our chapter as part of a working lunch Saturday, Nov. 12.” The Bible Study will serve as the “Liturgy of the Word” at an agape-style Eucharist celebrated by Bp. Ohl. A lunch will be served following Eucharist in the parish hall of St. Christopher Episcopal Church, 3550 SW Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76133. All Integrity functions are open to the public.

The Fort Worth Chapter will be specifically inviting all clergy in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth to attend the Bible Study-Eucharist-Lunch with Bp. Ohl.

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.
