Before David Fischler went all Presby on us, I offered him a spot on the Stand Firm blogger staff. I am routinely relieved that he hasn’t gone far, as in this post where he picks up on James Manley’s comment in our Katherine Ragsdale thread and runs with it:
This person is not a scholar, but an activist. She is known entirely as a result of her abortion rights advocacy. She is one of the founders of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights, and is on the board of directors of NARAL. And now the president of an Episcopal seminary. Those who have chosen her have put their stamp of approval on one of the most extreme pro-abortionists in the country, much less the church.
So I think it is now safe to say that, in fact, there are people in the mainline churches–some of whom are even in prominent positions–who are not pro-choice at all. They are pro-abortion, and according to the ancient standards of the church–standards that go all the way back to the early 2nd century and the Didache–they should be treated as anathema.

So to recap:
1. No academic credentials.
2. Pro-abortion activist.
3. Self-avowed, openly homosexual.
Indeed the perfect individual to be dean of a Christian seminary. What more could Uncle Screwtape ask for? Yes, she will send the next generation of priests and priestesses out into the world, well-prepared for their mission of further destroying the Anglican Communion. Assuming, of course, that the seminary stays open long enough for any of them to graduate.
