At the Episcopal Church's Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, there is what is identified by a permanent poster as: AIDS INTERFAITH CHAPEL, which "honors the men, women and children who have died of AIDS and those who live with HIV, AIDS, whatever their faith."Why is there no Grace Cathedral chapel to "honor" all men and women who have died of syphilis?
Should children, who died of AIDS, which they had nothing to do with spreading, be lumped together with the adult males whose deliberate buggering of each other has killed so many hundreds of thousands?
If the Episcopal Church in the San Francisco Bay area of California had any sense of Christian and sexual responsibility, it would revise the wording at this Grace Cathedral Sodomy-Acceptance Shrine.
It would also go north to the Point Reyes National Seashore's Kenneth Patrick Visitor Center and try to do something about the first memorial to Sir Francis Drake.
There are two memorials. One is located two and a half miles up the beach – which cannot be reached during high tide.
The first memorial is a cross, observing the first Episcopal religious services in 1579, long before Jamestown.
These services took place when Sir Francis Drake landed in what is today known as Drake's Bay, with religious services presided over by his chaplain, the Rev. Francis Fletcher.
At the Patrick Visitor Center, I had to enlist the help of a most congenial U.S. Park Ranger, because this memorial cross is surrounded by huge reeds and other brush, so that it cannot be seen from the beach.
There is no sign directing visitors to this memorial – possibly because it is a cross.
How the Episcopal Diocese of California could so prominently feature a Sodomy Acceptance Shrine while ignoring Sir Francis Drake and his chaplain is yet another illustration of the Episcopal Church's growing moral sickness.
