Oklahoman Bishop Cox will be greatly missed. He entered eternal rest just shy of his 104th birthday and shortly before the Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde humiliated his former denomination and America.
This reminds me of what happened to my original denomination, Methodist. I left when the pastor preached pro abortion from the pulpit. I joined my husband’s church. Since then, the church separated. The members who believe in the Christian doctrine as explained by the founder, John Wesley, had to move to a different denomination.
What a beautiful tribute to this man of God! You did him honor here, Mr. Arnett as he undoubtedly did for you as your mentor for all of those years.
My brother-in--law, David Smith and I used to play chess whenever we met for Thanksgiving or Christmas from the time I married into the family until he called to tell me that we could no longer do so because he was Episcopalian. I asked him what difference it made? Although I was a Baptist, it didn't matter to me what his faith was. He said, "No. You don't understand. We can't play chess together because apparently us Episcopalians can no longer tell the difference between a Bishop or a Queen!" I had no fitting response to that and still don't.
Episcopal bishop earning taxpayer millions to bring migrants into US

The story continues: Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon to President Trump during an inaugural prayer service, coupled with her church’s advocacy for humanitarian immigration programs, reveals a striking hypocrisy — one that could be seen as self-serving and even a conflict of interest. https://nypost.com/2025/01/31/opinion/episcopal-bishop-lectures-trump-while-earning-taxpayer-millions-to-bring-migrants-into-us/

I agree. It is a beautiful tribute

Take care brother!
Bill, thanks. That is the best Episcopalian joke I have heard. I appreciate you.
