If the Anglican Church could proudly parade their gay peacock bishop it is not impossible to imagine that the liberal churches would just love to show the nation how “enlightened” they are by having gay scout troups. They would be competing with each other to be the first to welcome the gay/bisexual/transgender scouts. Tolerance is the greatest virtue of the day.

And you know they will, at their first opportunity.

384 BC – 322 BC - Aristotle: attributed but unverified -“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.”

Just a slight nudge in terminology here. The exact church to which you are referring is TEC = The Episcopal Church. There is a whole smorsgabord of "continuing" Anglican churches which have schismed from TEC since 2003 (and even before that on other issues) when the open homosexual Gene Robinson was consecrated as diocesan bishop of the state of NH. Thankfully, he retired, prematurely, this year. But there is at least 1 other suffragan bishop out in some California diocese who is lesbo.

Back on 6/20/2013, the bishop of the Diocese of Alabama encouraged Episcopal parishes within his realm to assume the charters of those units which were being discontinued because of the 5/23/2013 BSA vote. The problem, though, is that TEC is dying on the vine. Fewer parishes, fewer average Sunday attendance, fewer baptisms, fewer marriages, fewer members and older average member age.
