Some Bible-believing Christians shy away from this kind of conflict, allowing liberals to take over their churches and denominations because they think conflict with others is "worldly." I could not disagree more. Christ and the Apostles did not shy away from disagreement. R.C. Sproul stated in his book Essential Truths of the Christian Faith that "Jesus' life was a storm of controversy." Christ was (and is) never vindicative or petty, but he did not hesitate to speak the truth.
I believe many Christians forget these lessons.
You might appreciate this article, given your witness within the Episcopal Church.
Miele Man has an interesting testimoney of being in a position to watch the decline and fall of Episcopalianism. (Did I spell that right?)
IMO these christian liberals confuse themselves with God. They remind me of Sir Robin at the bridge in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They see evil in the world that needs fixing and say "That's Easy!" Then off they go over the cliff not realizing that it is their all too human conceit that is their undoing.
