SCREWTAPE PROPOSES AN EPISCOPAL TOAST
A letter from a senior to a junior devil
(With apologies to C.S. Lewis)

My dear Wormwood,

It is hard to find words to describe the constant stream of victories we are seeing as American culture declines and Western Civilization descends into the twilight zone.

Our Father has been positively gleeful as he watches the victories mount up at nano speed.

At high table the other day, a junior devil muttered something about The Episcopal Church and we watched our Father's face suddenly change. Everyone held their breath fearing an outburst of wrath.

They waited and waited. Then suddenly there was a low growl, then a slow roar and finally peals of laughter broke forth from our Father. At that point the junior Devils at high table started to laugh with such evil glee that the whole place fairly shook.

Questioned by agent Slubgob, our Father looked squarely at him and said two words, "We won".

Pressed, our Father said simply, all the episcopal bishops except for two or three have rolled over to our side. Pansexuality has wasted them all and the holdouts amount to nothing. They will either roll over in time or leave. The fools have no idea what damage they have done. They are blind to their own cupidity and stupidity even as their Church withers and dies.

The cultural seduction is almost complete and I am calling off the junior Devils and putting them elsewhere...some will focus on the ACNA, others will focus on the United Methodists who still seem to be holding out largely because of their ecclesiastical structure. We are doubling our junior Devils on the Pope.

It concerns our Father that American Blacks still hang on to Him when they experience so much racism and neglect by white America. He nearly lost it when some Black Christian leader accused white liberal pro-gay Protestant leaders of confusing their sin with black skin. Our Father got quite apoplectic.

But the tide of a pansexual acceptance is with us and our Father believes the culture wars are in our favor.

It was a brilliant move by that Welby fellow to stall any immediate discipline of The Episcopal Church for three years. It will give our revisionist friends time to regroup and push the pansexual agenda solidly into Africa. All we need to do is get a simple majority of Anglican primates onboard and the Anglican Communion as we know it is history....and ours.

Keep the focus on social issues, any issues that keep them from thinking and talking about Him. The emergence of the Anglican Church in North America was unexpected. When it came to pass we had hoped that it would be an ecclesiastical tempest in a teapot, a replay of 1977 when a number of priests left TEC and formed the Continuing Anglican Church movement, but that Duncan fellow managed to galvanize evangelicals and Anglo Catholics into a cohesive force and now we have to reckon with this Foley Beach fellow. We may not be able to push the homosexual button but we can at least use the wedge of women's ordination to divide them. Make it so.

America's political landscape gives us great hope. That Trump fellow is a gold mine of confusion...of extreme wealth, bombast and faux Christianity that it had our Father wondering if we need to do anything but keep Christians like Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Kasich and Christie fighting among themselves thus cancelling each other out.

Of course our preferred choice is the Clinton woman to win, she will shake out the last remnants of the Christian Faith. Make sure bubba is brought into the mix to help her cause. He's smooth, well-educated and a real asset on morals and ethical behavior.

Now it is important to remember Wormwood that we are in this for the long haul so don't overplay your hand. We have made that mistake before with disastrous consequences. With Mao and his little red book we thought we had China pegged. Now we learn that China today has more than one hundred million Christians. Our Father's anger has junior Devils tremble whenever the subject comes up.

The West is not yet totally lost and these horrible revivals can and do erupt to reverse things. Keep your eyes on the prize...the total capitulation of orthodox Christianity. If we win America the world is ours.

I remain your affectionate uncle,

Screwtape
