Over the past years David Virtue at virtueonline.org has report some incredible stories like clown eucharists and Episcopal priests who were wiccans. Here is another mind boggling story about Gay Pride Day in church: "If you think things are not really as bad as orthodox Episcopalians and VOL (VirtueOnline.org) paints them in the TEC (The Episcopal Church) read this. "The Sunday after General Convention I returned to my home parish for Gay Pride Sunday and participated in a Disco Mass for which gays and lesbians turned out in force. The opening hymn was a beautiful jazz rendition of 'Over the Rainbow.' Musical offerings came from gay men in sequined tank tops and from the Director of Music who was ushered into the service singing a disco number complete with go-go girls. The queen of St. Mark's appeared in full drag to deliver the homily and the closing hymn was, Sister Sledge's 'We Are Family.'" Yours truly, Nell Braxton Gibson, Coordinator of the Episcopal Urban Caucus, describing a "disco Mass" at her home congregation in New York City." And if that wasn't goofy enough, how about Anglicans for the Legalizing of Prostitutes? Read on . . . "In the revisionist DIOCESE OF NEW WESTMINSTER comes news that Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan, an Anglican who attends Christ Church Cathedral, supports prostitutes' call for legal brothels for the Olympics. A group of Vancouver prostitutes has been joined by Liberal MP Libby Davies and the mayor in calling for the Canadian government to legalize brothels and to set up a system of government regulated brothels to service johns at the Winter Olympics. A furious VOL reader wrote: "You read it right, Sam Sullivan, Mayor of Vancouver, devout parishioner of Christ Church Cathedral, friend of Bishop Michael Ingham, supports legalizing brothels for Vancouver to service visitors during the 2010 Olympics. Oh yes! I want to join his church!"

An Op-Ed article was published in "Svenska Dagbladet" (SvD) the main daily newspaper of the leading conservative political party of the present coalition government in Sweden, the Moderaterna. An English translation of the article is published on Yngve Kalin's web page. You can read it here: http://kalin.nu/english/svd3.htm Kalin hopes for a renewed discussion about the serious situation in the Swedish church and would like Christians outside Sweden to know about it."
