"What we're giving as a Father's Day gift to the Anglican Communion is a woman primate, and that is wonderful."

I'm all for it! (As muttered elsewhere I'm sure, I was raised Anglican and still have a soft spot for them, especially in light of events like this and Gene Robinson's elevation to the bishopric.)

Yeah, I was thinking if my last name was Leader, I probably wouldn't call my daughter Episcopal.

and heeeeere we go!

meanwhile:

...A Christian author says that Christians have no right to make use of psychic powers. Dave Hunt, who co-leads The Berean Call ministry, says believers should have nothing to do with psychics or their powers. While acknowledging that many psychics are fake and use tricks to deceive clients, Hunt believes some psychics are used by demons to make destructive predictions. He believes assassin Sirhan Sirhan, for example, had demonic psychic powers and predicted the day that Robert F. Kennedy died. "You have to really be a master at this and have given yourself over to come up with any degree of accuracy," he says. "Nevertheless, Satan can make predictions of a destructive nature." And Satan can predict some evil things and "have his people that he is controlling bring them to pass," explains Hunt, "but he can't predict any good things." Hunt has written numerous books on New Age and Hindu practices. His latest book is Yoga and the Body of Christ. (See related article)
