The Episcopal Diocese of Quincy is now talking with the Executive Council about the destruction and the hurt and the pain of the "schism" that befell them in 2008. See The Lead for the complete story. Quincy is one of those diocese that just like us, suffered a catastrophic disaster in 2008. Those left behind were, I am sure disgusted, dejected and dehumanized by the group of Conelonialists that left for Greg Venables Southern Cone. We in San Joaquin know the feeling and first wish to convey to our brothers and sisters in Quincy that we know how you feel, we have been there and we want you to hang in there because a new dawn is coming. Right now, it may seem bleak, and we are not completely out of that very dark spot that could be called "hell on earth" but we know there is a Jesus Christ and we know that the Episcopal Church will not let you down. They certainly did not in our instance.
Please keep in mind that there were only a few people on Calvary that dark and gloomy day way back when and numbers are not important. It is your faith that must be strong and your faith that will set you free. We know that here in San Joaquin and I am sure you must know that even in the midst of chaos and ruin.
To the Quincy Conelonialists, you cannot win and when you realize that please come home.
To our Executive Council, Father Mark and the whole group, you have been patient, generous and loving for us here in San Joaquin please extend that same grace and mercy to our brothers and sisters in Quincy.
To our brothers and sisters in Quincy, let us know where and how we can help. We are also small but mighty. Put us to the test.

The truth is:
The same group of ¨religious¨ criminals are the very same ones that have traditionally tormented many of their fellow Christians because they think they know truth and light--sickening, these same thugs act-out with their arrogance both in and outside of Church and leave individuals and families in ruin--you are right, keep the faith, just like ALL who have endured this abuse before you--we are very blessed at the Episcopcal Church to have genuine and caring supporters who are WILLING to do the right thing and are committed to not looking the other way as the bigotry, demonizing and thieving continued. No longer the victims suffer alone...thank you to TEC and the ongoing Episcopal Church dioceses of San Joaquin, Pittsburgh, Ft. Worth and beyond!
