Diocese of Upper South Carolina takes a hard left

Over the weekend The Diocese of Upper South Carolina elected Andrew Waldo from Minnesota as its next bishop. Following in the path of Louisiana (Morris Thompson elected last week), DUSC has decided to jump on the liberal Revisionist train to hell. Like Thompson, Waldo is "charming" and a people person who talks in generalities about a new church and a new way.

Like Thompson, Waldo was elected on the third ballot. This means support gathered quickly to winnow the field of candidates to the final choice.

The "new way" is banking on their "gospel" filling the pews with those who apparantly don't like the "old gospel" and are waitng for a more inclusive church to come along. On the surface it is appealing: all that old talk about sin, repentence is replaced with a gospel which essentially says "you are good no matter your walk in life because God created you". And as the church, we won't talk to you about sin, rather we will bless your walk in life.
