Look, in my experience Episcopal churches are pretty liberal. It's the Episcopal church that has the gay bishop. Maybe Episcopal churches in Dallas are more conservative, I don't know.

Didja know that all episcopals aren't alike? Is that hard to understand?

Maybe you should have read the article and gotten the facts straight before you tried to set off yet another round of wrist slitting by the Perpetually Pi$$ed Off with your thread title, huh?

And your reply does nothing to absolve you of the claim I made: once you found out you were WRONG, rather than admit your mistake, you searched for something ELSE to bash her with and settled on "Why didn't she go to her own church?"

It's none of your business why; she doesn't owe you an explanation WHY she went to this church today.

Petty.

Your experience is not all encompassing.
There are conservative Episcopal churches that are continuing the work of the Gospel and will tell you vehemently that neither Bishop Spong nor Bishop Robinson speak for them. Granted these churches whether evangelical or anglo-catholic are fighting an up-hill battle but they are fighting.

Dallas is very conservative diocese that is leading the fight.

Much more. I used to know the current Bishop of the Dallas Episcopal Dioscese pretty well. He was the priest at my parish for four years. Very conservative.

"the" Gay bishop? As a former Episcopalian, I can tell you there are far more than Gene Robison.
