Stories from the Pews: Integrity Proud Parish Wins Pride Float Award

A letter From William Weightman

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

Frago, ND

Hi Integrity! Just wanted to update you on one of your parishes!

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Fargo, ND, took home the Judges Choice Award for Best Float in the 2011 Fargo Moorhead Pride Parade on Sunday, August 14! The prize included a trophy that will be displayed in the church.

St. Stephen's is an Integrity Proud Parish. The float had the theme of "Love: It's Natural" and was Noah's Ark, complete with animals that science has show to exhibit Homosexual Behavior.

Thanks again for being a great resource and we at St. Stephen's are proud to be an IntegrityUSA Parish!

William Weightman

Congrats to St. Stephen's for their great work!

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.
