My conclusion is that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination.

If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. Here's an example!

As an active Episcopalian, it doesn't surprise me...the church is founded upon tradition and reason and many members believed that those who have not known Jesus can still be saved.

The Reformed and Lutheran churches will welcome our new members from fleeing Episcopalians...as will the Catholic Church

"If we cannot affirm the unique salvific power of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer a Christian church." Switching to a sarcastic tone, Howell declared, "We have no need for a Creed. Why do again what we did in the past?"

"This clearly shows that we are of a mind that does not affirm Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And we should not be surprised that our church is dying spiritually," said Howell.

But the good news is that all the deck chairs were arranged properly.

Form your own conclusions.

I don't have to form "my own" opinion. They are apostates. They are accursed.

Well, since that phrase comes directly from the Bible, would that imply that they do not belive the Bible?

Acts 4:8-12 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers and elders of the people, if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by this name this man stands here before you in good health. "He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

"This type of language was used in 1920s and 1930s to alienate the type of people who were executed. It was called the Holocaust. I understand the intent, but I ask you to allow the discharge to stay," said the Rev. Eugene C. McDowell, a graduate of Yale Divinity School and Canon Theologian for the Diocese of North Carolina.

Wow. I'm surprised he didn't hold his breath until he turned blue.

The Christians in the Episcopal Church who asked for that vote did the right thing for themselves and those who stand with them - put the liberals feet to the fire, make them speak directly to core issues in a way that their answer defines them in a very basic way.

I think all illusions about the Episcopal Church are over.

Big John 14:6 bump
"...I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the father but through ME".
No ambiguity there.

Geez. If they feel that way, why don't they just become Unitarians?
