This isn’t surprising. After all, this is the “Episcopalian Church” AFTER most of the actual Christians have left.

Church attendance must be down....

Stick a fork in the PECUSA.

""Gays and lesbians are asked to make sacrifices the rest of us are not asked to make," said the Rev. J. Frederick Barber of Fort Worth, according to the Episcopal News Service."

And just what are the sacrifices that they are asked to make - beyond living as chaste Christians as we all are?

If this is true it clearly indicates that the typical American Episcopalian has gone atheist.

Maybe the headline should read; “majority of Episcopalians think the Bible is a bunch of huey”.

[Julia H.]

When do unabashed polygamists, pedophiles and zoophiles get to be ordained? If it’s all about “equality...”

[centurion316]

The Clueless sometimes ask me: “Why in the world did you leave the Episcopal Church?” Why indeed?

[datura]

I guess this puts me in the minority then.

Then they are for scrapping the Bible.

[massmike]

I guess they forgot about that little problem the Catholic church had.........

Misleading headline. The “majority” is among the deputies to General Convention, who are carefully selected because they are pro-gay. (The ‘elections’ in dioceses and many parishes are a complete sham — they would make ACORN blush.) The anti-Christian Communists who took over The Episcopal Church do not represent the views of those in the pews. This was never a popular issue except in some wise-acre parishes over-run with homosexuals. The conversion of a once-Christian church to a pro-gay Communist-front political lobby is driving away the Christians, slowly be surely.

[CdMGuy]

BS headline. This is just among convention delegates who do not represent the folks in the pews. That is exactly why the Episcopal church in the US is now split and we have an Anglican church in the US. Conservative Episcopalians need to consider turning to the Catholic Church. It is time to come home.

“Gays and lesbians are asked to make sacrifices the rest of us are not asked to make,” said the Rev. J. Frederick Barber of Fort Worth

Nonsense.
They have made choices in their life that have consequences.
Just like a person that choses to use drugs or a person that choses to murder someone or a person that choses to be unfaithful to their spouse.
They are called SINS.They do have consequences.
This is just one more religion that is pandering to the world instead of glorifying the Kingdom

"I just can't discount the Bible," she added, noting the struggle that many Episcopalians have with passages in the Bible that oppose homosexuality

That durn Bible. Always gets in the way.

"We are damaging the body of Christ by insisting on our own way."

I think the man had a handle on the situation when he stated;

if it offends you, cut it off.

[dangus]

Majority of Epicopalians, or majority of Episcopalian conference representatives? The article only talks about conference attendees, not of any larger survey.

Lutheran (ELCA) Ping!

The Episcopal Church is a Full Communion Partner of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; hence these deliberations and decisions will likely become weighty arguments at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in August in Minneapolis.

"Following the example of our Full Communion partner" will hold more gravitas than following the example of global Christianity as there is no international Lutheran structure parallel to the Anglican Communion.
