The Silence of the Lambs
Given all the perestroika that is happening in the moral realm within ECUSA leadership, one wonders if all the clergy are in sync with liberalism. Sadly enough there are many who are faithful clergy - faithful to the Lord, His church and highly conscious of their role as custodians of faith and morals through their ordained ministry. But where is their voice or do they have a voice at all?
Suprisingly enough, that those faithful clergy have to bite the bullet and move on despite the revisionism, because the Church Pension Fund holds them to the gun point. Simply put if they do not toe the line, they will lose their benefits such as salary and pension. Some of the priests have worked for over forty years in several parishes, and are on the verge of losing all their earnings, should they be vocal about their moral stand. Perhaps this may never come to the light. But through known sources we have come to know clergy who fear the worst if they spoke out their mind. Why even a widow whose husband was a former Rector is afraid of making her choice at this point in time. Perhaps, if the priests are assured of their remunerations, despite their stand, we may hear more from the clergy. Unfortunately, these lambs have been silenced. We understand their predicament.
