Bill...it's terribly sad to lose such a brave man...You know he was
a man who had the courage to
fight for equality within the church
...and then face the pressure from
conservative forces within the church.
This fine man became an enemy of the self-righteous David Ould who now has the gall to praise him. Bishop John now has a place in Heaven, having been the victim of hypocrites like Ould who persecuted him on earth.
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear. May Bishop John rest in Peace and rise in Glory
