Comments on: When Bishops Disappoint https://www.aoiusa.org/when-bishops-disappoint/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:48:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Michael Bauman https://www.aoiusa.org/when-bishops-disappoint/#comment-6158 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:51:34 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=3402#comment-6158 I think we are always in the last days. To quote Hamlet:

If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it is not to come, it will be now; if it is not now, yet it will come; the readiness is all.

As Jesus warned us: Watch and pray!

His example was powerful: when bishops or priests give major addresses that do not even mention God or salvation. I think of three major speeches given during Lent by two bishops and one priest in particular which match this criterion. I think he may be on to something.

Tom’s advice, I think we end up marginalizing the “disappointing” bishops and granting authority through obedience to the one’s that do not disappoint.
