[Magdalen] What General Convention has done so far

[John Robison]

The dividing line between the (and I know this will draw ire, please dont
bite my head off, it is only an observation) between the Boomer (pro
revision) Xer (reticent) and Millenial (mostly against) was pretty clear,
and got very pointed.

The Rev. John R. Robison

The Old Catholic Church, Provence of the United States.

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
