About Me

Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Well, that's something, at least

AP: Anglican Leader Rules Out Gay Debate---

LONDON - The leader of the world's Anglicans has ruled out a new debate on the church's teaching that gay sex is "incompatible with Scripture."
Absolutely right, with that last line.
Looking ahead to the 2008 Lambeth Conference of the world's Anglican bishops, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said he detected little support for reopening the debate.

The resolution condemning gay sex also opposed the ordination of those involved in homosexual relationships and the blessing of gay unions.

The communion has been badly torn by disputes over sexuality, with conservatives outraged by the election of gay bishop in New Hampshire, the blessing of gay unions in one Canadian diocese and the Church of England's toleration of gay clergy entering in civil partnerships.
