Rev. Ragsdale cracks a joke (?)
On the murder of abortionist Dr. George Tiller:
“This is about the loss of a man who was a saint and a martyr. He was a prayerful man who put his life at risk to protect others and died for it." - Rev. Dr. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, new president and dean of Episcopal Divinity School.
Dr. Tiller may have had a warped sense that killing of unborn children was a moral thing to do - I leave it to God to read his soul - but to have a church official, someone charged with training future Episcopal priests, calling him a saint???
It would be nice if this was just a joke.
Given recent actions by the Episcopal Church - including its ready acceptance of Father Alberto Cutié - this statement just adds to questions about this denomination's credibility. It's certainly getting harder to take it seriously.
