Politics is Pastoralia. Or Is That The Other Way Round?

The Former Bishop of Nevada, currently the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church (tm), recently gave a lecture where she ruminated at length on Western farm policy, land use policies, proper grazing techniques, adaptive reuse of buildings, light bulbs, the diets of cows, and the the digestion of sheep.

Here is what appears the crux of her talk, which was directed at the clergy:

"Cast an informed ballot?" I wonder what she means by that?

Episcopalians for McCain/Palin.

Our motto: God and guns made America free; let's keep it that way.
