Sins of the Times

The Rev. Jan Nunley, the Episcopal Church's deputy for communications, has picked apart a sensationalistic story in The New York Times which would leave readers with the false impression that a man who left the adult film industry six months ago is on the fast track toward beoming a priest.

The story is similiar to the equally over-hyped story about former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey's enrollment at the General Seminary in New York. He too was "ordained" by the media without ever even entering the discernment process of an Episcopal diocese.

Open hearts, open minds, and a willingness to tell the truth with compassion - now that's some Good News! I was received as a member of the Episcopal Church under the guidance of the Rev. Hank Mitchel. And I have deep respect for the discernment Hank brings to all that he does.
