For those who may be interested.
In contrast, the non-denominational Twin Cities church I went to today has an average weekly attendance of 14,000 in 4 campuses around town. The Holy Spirit goes where He is welcomed.
Those who defy the scriptures shall be smiten by the hand of God.
Thank you for posting this...the Episcopal Church has been in decline since the sixties when they initiated financial support of the Black Panthers. People walked then and they continue to walk because the leadership is totally out of touch with reality. Alabama’s new immigration law passed overwhelmingly with the support of a great majority of citizens...guess what? The current Bishop, Henry Parsley, who also voted to consecrate New Hampshire’s gay Bishop, has made the church a party to a lawsuit to have the law overturned. Our most senior church leaders deny the Virgin birth, the Trinity, the Ascension, and are more interested in the cocktail parties they attend than the great commission. But fear not, as they are turning on the spit over the hottest grill in Hell, there will be a rebuilding of the church, just as a great awakening is going to bring back our constitutional government. It is imperative for Episcopalians to remain firm in principle and ready themselves for this future battle.

I guess I’m not the only one who has lost interest in The First Church of JesusChristtheCommie.
You can change how you do church but when you change the meaning of scripture or ignore the meaning of scripture your church will die.
You might say that the faithful didn’t leave the Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Church left them.
Too bad about all those beautiful church buildings. They’ll probably turn them into apartments, or nightclubs, or GLBT outreach centers...
‘Our most senior church leaders deny the Virgin birth, the Trinity, the Ascension, and are more interested in the cocktail parties they attend than the great commission.’
In other words, they are no longer a church, simply a social club.
It seems the Episcopol church and the Republican Party both embraced Diversity over their core values, threw the doors wide open to all viewpoints and people streamed out not in.
Go figure. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for everything. At least the democrats stood for evil.
Stunning numbers on some of these Average Sunday Ateendance numbers.....the low ones, that is.
Yeah, but at least they have no shortage of newly ordained gay pastors. < / sarcasm >
Example: Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, a sexually aberrant female in a recent address: "Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done"--chanted three times trying to get the audience to join her, as if in a political torchlight rally.
... and the gays keep all the money.
“the Episcopal Church has been in decline since the sixties when they initiated financial support of the Black Panthers.”
WHAT????
They’ve been infiltrated like all other institutions. The people left instead of staying and fighting to get rid of the infiltrators.
We’re living in a post-Christian world - when did it happen...
it’s good that even the media does not besmirch conservative Anglicans by including them with the ECUSA.
I guess they also deny the Resurrection.
On what basis can one even call these leaders Christian any more?
It is imperative for Episcopalians to remain firm in principle and ready themselves for this future battle.
I used to advocate that too (note: I'm a cradle Catholic so do not know the inside-out of the ECUSA), but my FRiends who have left the ECUSA tell me it is a lost cause, too far gone to do anything but leave
How would you advise Episcopalians who stay in the ECUSA? Especially when even the basics of Christianity are now denied there?
