In Friday's paper, Bob Hieronymus wrote, "All the frantic arm-waving
and false accusations will not discount those signatures." But I can't
reconcile Bob's claim with this statement from the Christ Church
website:<br> <br> "Leading with a petition is so passé. Been done to
death. Where is the creativity? . . . And petitions are so
self-congratulatory. It gives signers a cheap thrill of holiness. But
who wants to hang around the self-righteous? Yawn."</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <a href="http://www.christkirk.com/BizarreCharges/PressReleases/CCResponseBoring.asp"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">http://www.christkirk.com/BizarreCharges/PressReleases/CCResponseBoring.asp</span></a><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">And I can't reconcile it with this statement from Mr. Wilson's webblog:<br> <br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">"So when our agenda </span><i style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">is </i><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">realized,
it will not come about because we were out there signing petitions,
organizing at a grass-roots level, putting up yard signs, and so on."</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <a href="http://dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=1111"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">http://dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=1111</span></a><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">Or with this statement from Mr. Wilson's webblog:<br> <br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">"We

discussing it for a short time, they said, "We used to be very active
in supporting candidates, gathering petitions, getting out the vote,
that sort of thing. We don’t do that any more, but since we quit, the
non-believers around us have become increasingly agitated, and we find
ourselves speaking to them on all sorts of issues that are not directly
related to Word and sacrament."</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> <a href="http://dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=147"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">http://dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=147</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> </a><br style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> I am sure that there is a rational explanation for this inconsistency.
