MUNCHKIN'S SATURDAY CORNER # 16







Hey folks, here is some good news:

Thank God, a Step in the Right Direction:

Rev. Ann Holmes Redding, so-called priest of the Episcopal Church, who claims that she is both a Christian and Muslim, will not be able to serve as a priest for a year, according to her bishop.

During that year, Redding is expected to “reflect on the doctrines of the Christian faith. . .” said the Rt. Rev. Geralyn Wolf, bishop of the Dioceses of Rhode Island.

During the next year Redding “is not to exercise any of the responsibilities and privileges of an Episcopal priest or deacon,” wrote Wolf in an e-mail.

In June, Redding announced publicly that she had been drawn to the Muslim faith after being profoundly moved after an introduction to Muslim prayers.

Though some people supported her, many were critical of her, saying it was not possible to be both a Christian and Muslim at the same time. They also took issue with her being a leader within the Episcopal Church while at the same time professing another faith.

Redding claims she has not violated any of her baptismal or ordination vows. Oh, do tell!
