	VirtueOnline - Exclusives - The 'Passion' of Frank Griswold
		Griswold: This life-givingness is made clear in the film when the centurion who pierces Jesus’ side with a spear is bathed in the torrent of water that issues forth.
		Griswold: “To be enfolded in Christ’s embrace is both consoling and challenging, and I am obliged to reflect on my own life and consider my own capacity to embrace others in the power of Christ’s embrace.
		What Griswold is saying here is that we can be deeply moved even convicted by the cross, but Griswold paints it as an option, with the implied understanding that there might have been better ways, (certainly if Frank had had his way), of dealing with mankind’s sinfulness.

	Griswold Interview Nov 2004
		Since last summer, Frank Griswold, the presiding bishop of the 2.3 million-member Episcopal Church USA, has been caught in the maelstrom over the election of openly gay bishop Gene Robinson and the blessing of same sex unions.
		LAWTON: Griswold is at the center of what many believe is the biggest crisis the Episcopal Church has faced in its more than 200-year history -- a crisis that threatens the future not only of the U.S. Church, but also of the entire worldwide Anglican Communion.
		Bishop GRISWOLD: As I read the Psalms each day in morning and evening prayer, many of the Psalms are about people in a situation of suffering and feeling isolated and alone, and nevertheless, "I know you're with me, God." I mean, those Psalms take on an immediacy that they didn't have before.

		Frank T. Griswold III, in Washington to celebrate five years as presiding bishop, said that the 2.3-million-member denomination is healthy and not wracked by controversy.
		Griswold, 65, said the church has made progress in learning how to deal with differences, especially on the touchy subject of sexuality, particularly homosexuality.
		Since 1998, Griswold has walked a perilous line between liberals, who want national policies on gay ordination and same-sex unions, and conservatives, who say the church cannot bless homosexual activity because the Bible condemns it as sinful.

		BISHOP GRISWOLD: That means that the Church of England is going to have to figure out its own way and establish its own criteria, just as the Episcopal Church in the United States is going to have to make its decisions.
		BISHOP GRISWOLD: In the United States we're, we're very much involved in a public debate as to what is the best way to acknowledge that reality in our public life, just as the Church is trying to figure out what is the best way, pastorally, to deal with this reality.
		BISHOP GRISWOLD: I think it would be unwise, at this point, to pursue a constitutional amendment because the debate, both within churches and certainly within civil society, I think needs to continue, and I'm fearful that a constitutional amendment at this time would preclude the continuation of that debate.

	FRANK GRISWOLD: A HISTORY OF BROKEN PROMISES
		Griswold has shown himself to be a bald faced liar to his fellow Primates, (over the Jeffrey John consecration) a moral compromiser and doctrinally fluid leader of a rapidly diminishing church that is busy bludgeoning its orthodox wing into the ground by his gang of blitzkrieg revisionist bishops.
		If Griswold had been the head of an American corporation he would have been forced to resign, publicly humiliated for his theological and moral positions and for his blatant disregard for the 'faith once delivered', turning his back on the very faith he swore to uphold and defend.
		Griswold has thought only of his tight little circle, and all the repercussions of his self-willed acts on millions of Christians in the Anglican Communion are......their problem, not his.

	Frank Griswold Letter
		Griswold, a priest educated at Harvard and Oxford who was the spiritual leader of the Diocese of Chicago, has taken over the Episcopal Church at a time when its unity is being seriously challenged by strong ideological differences.
		If Griswold was at the 1994 General Convention in Indianapolis, then he (along with every other bishop) was sent a copy of the "Summary of Evidence" which Dennis and Elizabeth Kelly (of the Christian Community of Family Ministry in Vista, CA) and myself passed out.
		We call Frank Griswold to stand up, be the spiritual leader for the rest of us which Christ is calling him to be, and to publicly repent of his evasion of truth in this life and death matter of sexuality.

		Whatever really happened at the DANCE and whatever was the full explanation given by Frank Griswold, it appears that what took place was a dramatic and dangerous form of post-modern Spirituality where a throughly neo-pagan thing was being experienced.
		In the case of Bishop Frank, who is absorbed with his image of "conversation at the round table," the image of the Trinity apparently speaks of "wholesome relationships between persons".
		Griswold wanted all to experience in dance the reality of all sharing -- even giving up -- their faith and feelings without fear and inhibitions.

		Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold was in Salt Lake City this week, having returned recently from a meeting with primates of the 77-million-member Anglican Communion, of which the U.S. Episcopal Church is a part.
		Bishop Griswold said such actions are "consistent with the (faith's) General Convention, and also reflects the distinction the primates made between what is public and official and what is private pastoral care to gay and lesbian people within the context of the local congregation."
		The "fine line" between official blessing and unofficial blessing is a distinction Bishop Griswold acknowledged "would be difficult to comprehend" in many parts of the world, particularly among bishops who believe any recognition of same-sex unions runs counter to biblical teaching.
