Here be the fruits of "tolerance" when the apostate and heretical take over the church.

Were I a conservative Episcoplaian I'd shake the proverbial dust from my sandals at the church door and head on down the road to a Bible-believing church.

To Hell with the liberal Christians, they're going there anyways.

for possession of diocesan property...


Seems like the liberal bishops are more concerned about material things than spirituality.

So much for believers not suing believers.

We (a conservative congregation kicked out by our bishop) left our church building, even though we had a good lawsuit, because of that Biblical directive.

At lease they are consistent in their disdain for the Bible.

Liberalism is not just effecting the Episcopalians it is seeping into many other churches....we just need to be aware of what our churches are teaching....just a comment like we already don't realize this...

"In July, about 20 liberal and conservative Episcopal bishops met secretly in Los Angeles to discuss how to divide billions in church assets in the event of a split."

"When pondering this question it is worth mentioning the well-worn (and perhaps apocryphal) story of Thomas Aquinas, who surprised Pope Innocent II as he was counting stacks of money. The pope said, “Brother you see that Peter can no longer say ‘Silver and gold have I none.’”

“Quite true,” replied Aquinas, “Peter can also no longer say to the lame man, ‘Rise up and walk.’”

That speaks volumes about the spiritual condition of ECUSA, today.

As Lutheran, I have a modest suggestion. Let the Conservatives inherit the existing Episcopal properties and assets, and let the liberals inherit....HELL!

"Karl Marx had a good line about Episcopalians. In a preface to Volume 1 of 'Das Kapital,' he wrote that the 'English Established Church' -- of which the Episcopal Church is an American offshoot -- would 'more readily pardon an attack on 38 of its 39 articles than on 1/39 of its income.' Marx was referring to the Church of England's Articles of Religion, a basic summary of its doctrine. His cynicism seems vindicated in the Episcopal Church's recent abandonment of biblical teaching on homosexuality.

-- Diane Knippers (RIP), 2003

The true worth of the Church
and it's only meaningful content
is the Body of Christ

All other things are chaff,
Millstones around their neck

The Church triumphant can meet in any house
Or in a garden, if necessary - Gethsemane?

Hey, the Conservative Episcopalians in Los Angeles could just become Catholics. After all, LA doesn't have a Catholic bishop at the moment. The cathedra is vacant.
