Whoa! An honest and courageous man. I knew I was right to pray for him during the last few decades: "Ultimately, though, the Democratic platform’s abortion support reached a point where he needed to switch to Republican." Chalk that up as one declared Republican in the episcopacy. I wonder how many others are "closet" Republicans. I quit because the Establishment chased me out. The only place left was "Independent". "His role is to teach." Hear, hear! A prelate who knows who he is. Refreshing.
