After GAFCON
Just dropping by, and couldn't help but comment on PB's use of the term "emmission." Hmmm. She's obviously getting a bit testy there, but between the ruling in Virginia and GAFCON things have not been going that well for her lately. So, understandable.

I thought the word 'emission' spot on !
Posted by: Treebeard on Tuesday, 1 July 2008 at 5:18pm BSTI think that emission was indeed a poor choice of words.

Also the division over women should be exploited to show how hollow the claim to GAFCON orthodoxy and unity is.

1. Something that is emitted...
2. The act of sending or throwing out; the act of sending forth or putting into circulation;
3. That which is sent out, issued, or put in circulation at one time;
The word is grammatically correct and syntactically appropriate -- I don't see how it gives any insight into her current emotional state.
