    Another shameful situation in this communion. Recall the ordination and consecration of Cook, now in prison for a murderous drunken act. Both Sutton and Shori knew the night before that she was intoxicated and yet proceeded. Disgusting and shameful, and another reason why I no longer attend the church.
