Schori: Jesus a "Vehicle to the Divine?"

I must admit that when I read the interview I busted a gut. Every time that Madame President speaks, she puts her foot in her mouth. Here are some quotes that have been noted from the new Presiding Bishop:

"Jesus is a vehicle to the divine,"

"Jesus is an event...."

Let us remember what the Gospel of John says about Jesus:

John 1:1-14(NKJV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness for the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness to that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

This, first of all labels Jesus AS divine, not as a vehicle of the divine. Jesus is not some event that just "happens." He is GOD! In my opinion, Ms. Schori has a LOT to answer to. Gnostic gospels are not in the canon.
They are not even in the Apocrypha! JESUS IS GOD: PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
