I recall that he warned me in 1970 that homosexuals were influencing the thinking of the Church, and that they would attempt to gain control of it. I wasn't sure what a homosexual was at the time.<BR/><BR/>He was a notoriuosly bad driver and could get lost driving around the block. We had lunch together on a number of occasions. I ALWAYS drove.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959236020002312882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21841592.post-13869728588259413202007-11-21T11:21:00.000-05:002007-11-21T11:21:00.000-05:00My parents were members of Church of the Incarnati...My parents were members of Church of the Incarnation back in the late 50's when Father Angwin was assistant rector under Father Clark Attridge. Father Attridge - who died in 1969.<BR/>Father Angwin was faithful to the church and held Incarnation together as the neighborhood deteriorated and following the 1973 departure from the Episcopal church. He was a man who knew his church theology and stood by it. I was in Father Angwin's Cathetcism class and was confirmed in 1971. Ironically, my folks and I spoke with Father Angwin following his return from kidney failure surgery - roughly a week or so before he went home to the Lord.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462908974036084212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21841592.post-86789451466220691822007-11-21T11:12:00.000-05:002007-11-21T11:12:00.000-05:00My parents were members of Church of the Incarnati...My parents were members of Church of the Incarnation in Detroit since the early 50's when Farther Angwin was the assistant rector under Father Clark Attridge. Father Angwin faithfully held the church together for many years as the neighborhood deteriorated and following the 1973 departure from the Episcopal church. I was a Cathechist under Father Angwin and was confirmed in 1971. I remember him as a humble man who knew his theology and was able to stand by it. Ironically we all had spoken with him on the phone right after he returned from his kidney failure surgery - a week or so before he went to be with the Lord.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462908974036084212noreply@blogger.com
