However, multiple reports have pointed out that Gorsuch and his wife attend St. John’s, Boulder — a liberal Episcopal church headed by a very liberal, pro-LGBT female rector named Rev. Susan Springer.

Opposition to Gorsuch’s affiliation with St. John’s was voiced even before he was nominated.

Christian conservative activist and lawyer Andy Schlafly, the son of the late pro-life leader Phyllis Schlafly, voiced his concern over the possible nomination of Gorsuch in an email sent in November with the subject line: “veto these Sup. Ct. nominee candidates.”

Schlafly wrote that Gorsuch “probably would NOT be pro-life on the Supreme Court” and included him on his list of “unacceptable nominees.”

“Gorsuch’s Episcopalian church has declared its ‘unequivocal opposition’ to pro-life laws and he has said nothing publicly pro-life,” Schlafly wrote in the email.

Others, including journalist Julia Duin, who previously wrote for the conservative news outlet The Washington Times, have brought up the issue of Gorsuch’s membership at St. John’s.

“Think about that for a moment. If this man is the frightening conservative that some on the Left are already alleging him to be, there’s no way he’d be Episcopalian, much less at a woman-priested church,” Duin wrote. “The Episcopal Church, for anyone who’s not been following religion trends in recent decades, has been careening to the theological and cultural left for years and its membership statistics show it. Thousands have left TEC and joined alternative Anglican churches.”

“A Google search shows there’s an Anglican church in Boulder that the Gorsuch family could be attending if they so desired,” she continued. “So, the fact that the judge and his family has remained at St. John’s says something.
