Ecusa: I'll cast a spell on you
Ruth Gledhill

Reading 30 days in New Directions, I couldn't quite believe my eyes. The Episcopal Book Resource Centre, an "offshoot of the ever-heretical Ecusa Inc", is selling a book of spells by the British witch, pagan, astrologer and mother-of-four, Teresa Moorey. Unaccountably, given a pledge to remove it reported on the American Anglican Council website, the book is still there. Stand Firm first broke the story here, with lots of entertaining links. Moorey has been a witch all her life but describes in this BBC interview how difficult it was to "come out" as such at the age of 20. Teresa's own page is here. It is staggering really. Just when my own liberal principles come to the fore and I start to wonder whether everyone is not being just a bit too tough on Ecusa, they go and do something like this. Never mind what planet they're on, what church do they think they're in? Not mine. Druidism and celtic religions might have been anglo in origin, but they can hardly be called Anglican, and surely not episcopalian.
