Butchers With Tin Ears Revising Episcopal Book
Syndicated columnist James J. Kilpatrick voices strong criticism of the Episcopal Church’s revised liturgies, likening them to “butchers with tin ears.” He cites changes to the General Confession and the Lord’s Prayer, condemns the Green Book as inappropriate, and notes shifts in bishop consecration rites. The SPBCP advocates for restoring the Book of Common Prayer, growing from 12 to over 17,000 members.
