The Episcopal Church went insane about 15 years ago. I left then after a sermon on how people with AIDs are saints and people with guns are evil. I knew more about the Bible than the minister (who seems to only care of PC trends in society).

There is not much of The Episcopal Church left. They have been losing members for at least a generation. And the members that are left have few to no children (hey, abortion works!)

The only good thing I can say about this group is they have real nice buildings.

Someone isn’t reading/understanding the Holy Scripture.

The Didache ( also referred to as The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles ), the oldest extant manual of church order, dating from the late first or early second century states: "You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish."

Nina Churchman is obviously delusional. She is definitely not a 'reverent' person and does not deserve the title 'Reverend' at all. May God have mercy on her soul.

Separated from Apostolic Succession and the Holy Spirit’s protection of doctrinal teaching through the deliberate liturgies of Wolsey, the EC has drifted towards oblivion. This is simply another example of its fate. That these statements were made by an invalidly ordained priest - since women are not the proper substance for sacramental ordination - is certainly no surprise.

I gasp at this pronouncement. I am flummoxed.

I haven’t heard of ‘Rachel’s Tears’ but I can imagine that it is a cyber gathering place for women who cannot reconcile with themselves that they’ve had abortions.
The feeling stays with you forever-—every girl I have ever known who’s had one can’t quite ever get over it.
Not so oddly, it sometimes spurs them on to have MORE children , once they get to a point of maturity where abortion is ‘not an option’, after they’ve given birth at least once.
HOWEVER, one can make just as strong a pro-life case WITHOUT bringing sin or transgression or any religious considerations into the argument.So I would invite the Episcopals to deal with the controversy WITHOUT resorting to the ‘my religion said/your religion said’ dichotomy.

Special hell awaits those who cloak themselves in the robes of the ministry and work to destroy it. But this guy has company, people like Barry Lynn at Americans United for Seperation of Church and State is another Judas who gets his pieces of silver from an adoriing press and anti Christian lunatics.

Humanism,Moral Relativism, and Liberation Theology have destroyed the Episcopalian church.

The insanity is spreading. Now the left has control of some of the Christian churches.

So God ‘rejoices’ when a woman chooses to abort and deny life to His creation. Now I’ve heard everything!

I don’t want to say the thoughts I have right now... I will not be reduced to this woman’s level. One day she will have to answer to God for why she led His people astray. I only feel bad for the people that are being brainwashed by this propaganda.

“There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Doesn’t get much more innocent than a baby.

Episcopalian Priest, the Rev. Nina Churchman wrote a letter to Episcopal Life Online saying that women shouldn't have to ask for forgiveness for aborting a child. In fact, Rev. Churchman then goes one step further and says God rejoices in the woman's choice to abort.

She and her ilk are modern day worshipers of Molech.

Offering their children to be burned in the Pagan worshipping fire.

the rite for abortion

Abortion is a RITE?!?!?

Not a "right", but a "rite", as in a ritual, a religious process that is special and sacred? A formal, solemn ceremony? What on Earth is going on in Western Civilization?
