Good Stewardship or Money Laundering?

If a "Diocese" has a $420,000 grant from The Episcopal Church (DFMS - The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, line 64 in the budget), is it just a coincidence that the "Diocese's" legal fees are nearly the same amount as the grant?  (lines 72 & 73)  Is this not just a way for TEC to sue parishes and individuals in the actual, legitimate Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin while pretending this is an internal argument in the Diocese of San Joaquin?  The Episcopal "Diocese" looks very much like a puppet regime.  

As usual, the Anglican Curmudgeon has an excellent analysis of the whole sorry mess.

Moses and Miriam sing again

JERUSALEM – Two parts of an ancient biblical manuscript separated across centuries and continents were reunited for the first time in a joint display Friday, thanks to an accidental discovery that is helping illuminate a dark period in the history of the Hebrew Bible.

The 1,300-year-old fragments, which are among only a handful ofHebrew biblical manuscripts known to have survived the era in which they were written, existed separately and with their relationship unknown, until a news photograph of one's public unveiling in 2007 caught the attention of the scholars who would eventually link them.

Together, they make up the text of the Song of the Sea, sung by jubilant Israelites after fleeing slavery in Egypt and witnessing the destruction of the pharaoh's armies in theRed Sea.

"The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My lust shall be satisfied upon them, I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them,'" reads the song, which appears in the Book of Exodus. "Thou didst blow thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters."

An exhibit at Israel's national museum dedicated to the Song of the Sea is now bringing together the two long-separated pieces.
