They may call it a church but it's certainly not Christian. Liberalism, Marxism and Socialism are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ. The so-called "social justice" movement, including black liberation "theology", as favored by the left are merely forms of sin, totally contrary to the God's Eternal Word.
I was raised in the Episcopal church from infancy, and became a senior warden of our small but very old (1832) church.
It was at one time as good, if not better, then most every denomination in America.
I guess, starting about 20 years ago, the gays and Marxist
started taking over, rendering the ECUSA a cesspool of radical homos and Communist.
Many of the American flock have abandoned the ECUSA and become Roman Catholic, or Anglican.
Liberation Theology is Communism in a very thin religious wrapper.
I have noticed that every time a church is based on a social gospel it either dies, or repents and then starts to grow again.
People just don’t have the passion for churches that don’t make Jesus the center. They may come for the music, they may do some good works, but there is nothing like evangelical fervor.
From wiki: What constitutes Evangelicalism?
The need for personal conversion (or being “born again”);
A high regard for biblical authority;
An emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ;[2]
Actively expressing and sharing the gospel.
David Bebbington has termed these four distinctive aspects conversionism, biblicism, crucicentrism, and activism noting, “Together they form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism.”
Eh, what happened last time? No one came to the party?
Another example of everything the left touches turning to cr*p.

She may be right. For the Episcopal church anyway. It'll be gone due to continued exodus of sane people.
Its legitimate for them to be there, but theyre drowning us out, said Budde.
After 10 years the Episcopal "church" will be behind us. They are a dying church. The membership is plummeting and is curently about half what they claim it is. Further, the average age of the membership is over 65 years old. No young people are joining - and why should they? Who needs a church to tell you it's ok to do whatever you want? As the current membership dies off the church will just fade away. No more ears left to scratch.
